>Thanks for the e-mail of yesterday, it was good for me to get a little more insight into your life. It puts a little flesh on the bones of my perception of ju90. Being of a practical nature, would you like me to ask the landlady at the B+B to get some soya milk in etc.

Yes, that would be great, thank you!

> I am very much looking forward to meeting you,

So am I. My focus has now moved from the work to the process, and I am storing up lots of questions for you.

>but am full of mixed emotions at the mo. My professionalism seems to be slipping as a mixture of excitement and depression appears to be taking over. As l have said earlier I am of a sensitive nature, I find it quite a trait in artistic circles. As l say "I have the paint, the poverty and the neurosis (please excuse spelling), now I only need the syphillis to become famous. (LOL).

I know what you mean . . .

>Well now, more life from artistic folk down at the priory, most of the feet have broken, either by groundfrost or kiddies, anyway most of them I will leave, but a few that are in many pieces I will replace, hope you don't mind.

No, it sounds like a good idea, go ahead.

>Hopefully I will make some more, will I be able to do yours?

Oh yes, that would be great fun!

>This morning I have painted the sculpture again, it's already a little grubby, but I suppose that's the nature of white plaster.

Perhaps we should look at the grubbiness as representing the passing of time? ;-)

>I've loosely added some hanging wood inside for you to look at. Re:- paint etc. can you let me know what you would like me to do, buy paint etc.

Yes, if you can, buy the paint and let's go for it asap. Then I would have something to photograph (if it's possible to be there after dark?)

>The same stands for the photography, just say, as I am not quite sure what I am expected to do now.

Well, one way or another I shall sort something out. I don't know yet whether it will be my digital camera and my SLR, or a video camera, but something.

> Do you ever listen to radio 4,

I'm afraid to say that, as a former pt rock chick, I always listen to Radio 1.

>they've recently started a comedy/drama called women of more letters, based on the correspondence between two middle-aged ladies, very amusing, I wondered how it would work if it was e-mails. Maybe that's the next instalment

I guess so. As well as using email heavily to keep up with friends, I do correspond regularly with people who contact me via my site, yet who I never meet IRL, and I also have one long-term friend who I've only ever "met" over the Net. I

>Anyway, enough of my ramblings, I am here to about 1, hopefully you'll be able to be in touch by then. Lots of love,

Sorry - I work for GLAD till 12.30, but in any case I had social services in to fit grab rails (finally).

>Lots of love

Thinking of you.

Love
