Maisie's day out.

Last night's dream is possibly quite revealing. It involved being trapped in a studio building with various other artists and they were all either very intimidating or very annoying, or both. I was trying to get out of the building but the exit codes for the doors kept changing, and I could never remember which key I had to use.

In real life, I ended up having the kind of weekend which didn't allow for going to the studio, but I have managed to get a clearer idea of what I'm doing for the show, and made some sketches of ideas, so that's something at least.

Today I was over-seeing the painting of some scenery I'd designed for the Stevenage Lytton Youth Theatre production of adapted fairytales, called Once Upon A Time. I was very glad to have an excellent team of people keen to help with the painting, and it's pretty much done now and, I must say, looking rather good. I had to take Maisie the springer spaniel with me today as she would have been home alone for too long otherwise. I don't normally dare take her anywhere she might get into mischief, but I didn't have much choice today. Luckily there were lots of people around who were kind enough to keep her entertained while the painting was going on. There was one point when I thought she'd eaten a large amount of chocolate (complete with foil wrapping), which belonged to one of the painting team, but it turned out to be a false alarm. I hope she didn't annoy people too much. She certainly seems to have enjoyed the excursion, in any case.
