excited!

I just bought some lovely watercolour pencils in the stationer's in Bray for half price - €10. Woo! They're just what I'm looking for. I have a little project to work on, especially when I'm on holiday with no internet. For a fortnight. Arg.

I'm no artist, sadly, but I am Arty - and I'm hoping that's going to be enough to make something out of not a lot. I'm all enthused about it - splish splash scribble.

In other nice news, I went to the Anti Room film club last night, saw His Girl Friday, and won a raffle prize - I wanted the Tintin dvd box set for the kids, and the Betty Octopus necklace that was so gorgeous, or the Wagamama vouchers, but I'm sorry, I've been yearning for the next season of True Blood so hard of late, and there is was, waiting for me! Season Three! Pristine! I was sitting beside a sweet American lady who donated it, and she gave me downloading tips, bless her, so hopefully season 4 will be in the near future too.

So thank you, Anti Room and kind lady, and see you next month.

I'll come back and do links when I have time, but the beeper is beeping!

Thanks Catherine! I fixed your overcommenting there :)

I feel sure the answer to our problem lies in classes. And practice. Maybe n our fifties, eh?

I thought you frowned upon downloading!

I don't frown upon it, I'm just mildly apprehensive about making it work. And getting busted!

You, Eric and a whole lot of pencils on holiday. Enjoy! x

Mwa. How dirty does that sound! :D

Ooh, hadn't even considered that possibility! :-) I am now, though.
