chicken bones

whenever i am working at the gallery it seems to be stormy and gloomy outside. i like it. i can see the big trees bending over and the dark sky getting darker. and then 1000 people come in all cold and wet trying to escape the day. i have to take all their coats and bags and umbrellas and cameras and run after them coz they are touching the artwork.
then all of a sudden they are gone and its all quiet again.
apart from the wind.

and then the coolest kid in the world comes in with his cool mum and dad. he is on his dads shoulders and has a blonde mohawk. then suddenly he is behind me asking me my name. his name is Seven and he is 4. he asks me if he could please come behind the counter to see the big helicopter. so we had a little chat about helicopters and the time he flew one. meanwhile he eats his hot chips. then he gets distracted by the giant pile of chicken bones. he wanders off very important like through the gallery. he knows not to touch anything with his chippy hands.
so i dont have to chase after him. coz he already knows.

then 2 friends come in. they entertain me for a while. i laugh. then they go and its all quiet again.

so i wait for my tea break, when i can go outside and feel the stormy day.

bare feet

hmmm so much sun, so many dolphins.
i like seeing dolphins. i always seem to look right at them just as they pop up. i think maybe there was a baby one too.
i like saturdays.
it was cool hanging out with emma today. she was excited about the dolphins. and the sun.
it was cool to talk about art and the projects that we are going to start. very soon.
and the coffee was so delicious.

dolphins, sun, coffee, art talk... it sounds all a bit cliched really.
but i wish all the saturdays could be like this. they make everything ok.

i won't get a dolphin tattood on my ankle though.

fit ball



this photo is me on top of the duomo in milan...
and the other one is looking at the duomo from down the street.. nothing to do witht hte rest of the post :)















i am now a gym junkie. yep a 3 month membership. and so far (2 weeks) i have been almost everyday. i even got a fitness appraisal. and they designed a workout especially for me.
now all i need is the outfit. everyone else has outfits. and good shoes.
the best so far is doing water aerobics. its hard. im not a big fan of the wieghts yet. my arms are sore.
then the next best thing is the steam room (apart from the skank factor).
yep, soon i will be hot!
