... still waiting technical stuff from Allenna but have signed off in my heart. Diligent inquiry reveals that word/ paintbox and other simple stuff I already have will do what I need. Hurrah. When the scanning is done, will do it myself - I know whats needful, after all.
Today is clean studio, finish dreadful toches et clochers pic., cook dinner for mates. Apart from hole in face from  missing crown, terrifically happy. Getting finished on a loooooong project is brill. And dentist on Monday.

awaiting some technical info from Allenna and then my bit done. However; talking with designer realised he hasn't got a v clear idea of what is needed and furthermore expects over 3 grand to do it, badly. On the one hand that's what the funding is for. On the other, if I had a suitable design programme I could do it. Anally retentive?  Am asking around about simple and cheap design packages.

nearly... had a good incisive day and hope for more of that today. Activated designer, Kate to scan work. Thence to funders. Well, after I've finished it. Promised for next week to begin scans. Bob back tonight.

Had a clear run at the band dessine yesterday and am getting nearer the end... have a clear day today. Not sure if it should be oven-ready before I sign it off - there are various tweaks needed - oh yeah, like correcting some of the technical info the various cyberneticians have labelled wrong. They do not always agree. If it gets as far as the designer there will be changes needed for sure so that's why I hesitate to pronounce it done. That and the fact it ain't.
Have sneaked to the easel in between times and wrestled the T et C painting to the ground. Might work after all though undeniably kitch. Appropriate perhaps.

Dreadful watercoluring at Arques - why do I persist tin thinking I should be able to do everything? Suppose there is something to be learnt if I'm that bad at it.
Expecting a visit from Philippe this morning and Jim is coming to set up a new computer this afternoon.

been absent, too much fun - guilty enough to be writing mournful poetry, a bad sign. And dreams, alas. Away today doing landscapes at Arques which will be refreshing.I trust. Sat spoken for, Sunday ditto - which leaves Monday and Tuesday before Bob returns. Fighting panic.

Plodding on... wearisome. It shows. Want to return to the easel :)
