Was that it?

Saturday in the gallery and its seems that 6th June is the end of the summer - its freezing and raining and just yuk!  Really trying not to be tempted to open a bottle of red to compensate. The current exhibition is generating a lot of interest, it was featured in the telegraph last night so hopefully this will generate yet more visitors.   

Photo Shoot

Ben (reluctantly) and Zena (enthusiastically) had their photos taken by Kate last week - my mum's birthday brought up the usual situation of trying to find a suitable gift and Kate has come up trumps - check out some of the results on Kate's blog  when I asked my mum to choose some she liked she's come up about 15 - decisions, decisions... Zena and her friends have been inspired - Zena had a sleep over last night, they all dressed up and went down to the park to take photo's - very 'next top model'...

Talking of camera's Zena took Jeff's camera along to a Girls Aloud concert last week - it came back broken - Zena of course claimed it "just broke" ummmm! very suspicious.  Anyway after a suitable time of mourning Jeff brought another camera from Jessops (stick with me this story has a purpose) on Saturday last.  Lovely camera - great pictures etc...he took it fishing, you might be able to guess what happened.  The moral being make sure if you're near water and fishing don't leave your camera in your pocket and wade into a lake waist deep after a carp...so now we're in yet another period of mourning - black is so in this month ;-) Bloody fish !

We went along to the degree show last week at Coventry Uni' there was some interesting work and we've confirmed with Denise Startin her first solo show at the Fishbone.  Denise's work was the strongest (in my humble opinion) in the fine art section, but then I'm sure others will disagree.  Unfortunately we missed the MA show - it being held at the Herbert the closing time was strictly adhered to and the doors closed dead on 8 - the people running the Herbert should get their act together - its an ideal venue to remain open into the evening - normally closing at 5 its a wasted opportunity.

Afterwards we went on to Whitefriars and then on to the Lebanese restaurant next door with Kate, Kev and Jon - Jeff got drunk - it's good to see somethings never change...bless!

Jenny from Browns is looking for artists to show work in the bar - there is a small charge pop in and ask for more details.  Good exposure...

'Sod it' I'm opening the wine - see ya!

off to see Take That on Monday -  so just in case I'm spotted by one of the lads and whisked off to an exotic life on the road you may not hear from me again - sorry and all that.
