Sunday.

I haven’t had a Sunday off for ages, so this is quite a novelty. We have to work 15 weekend days in 12 weeks at the gallery, so I usually do the Sunday rather than Saturday, as it’s less crazy (with the public that is)

I was going to go the studio today, but decided to make the most of the weather, prune some bushes in the garden and just read for a bit outside. I don’t want the studio to feel like it is a chore that I must do every day I have off, I need to go there in my own time.

I have booked two days leave next week (adding them to days I had off anyway) so I can spend some time down there then and really get stuck into something.

It’s nice to have a day to myself today.

Next week, I’ve booked for the axis web road show in Llandudno while I’m off: http://www.axisweb.org/features/news-and-views/our-news-and-stories/llandudno-roadshow/

I’m looking forward to it, but there were a few reasons I wanted to go there other than just for the event. We’re hoping to set up some sort of collaboration with Mostyn artists in future after communicating with them for a while, so it seemed a good idea to tie in the two things. It will also be nice to see Emily Speed :-)

On a roll with attending events as I felt that I don’t do enough in that sphere – I’d booked for the Bob and Roberta Smith talk next month http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-liverpool-other-venues/talks-and-lectures/art-galleries-should-be-more-newspapers   AND an ‘artists in schools’ event next Monday, but realising I’d have to take another days leave for something, I can possibly just read up on myself, I gave my ticket to a friend asking her to take notes for me.

I do stretch my time as far as it can go, but sadly, there are limits.
