6. 5. 08 Tuesday
Two sheep, loosed, lost, wander in the lawn in front . The black-belly sheep are very elegant.

Maddy ( my landlady) says Barbara's funeral in London is 11.30 tomorrow. Adam, Bonny and Liesha are flying up tonight. Kathleen ( my helper) says people spend 5 minutes in silence , if they can’t go to the funeral. Never heard of that . It will be 6.30am here though.

Sarah and Coral took me to Waterfront Cafe. We parked on a near empty wharf So I’d be near, while all the road up to the vicious pink Liquidation Centre, was full of cars.
Philip Nanton launched a CD of monologues called Island voices. These performed by Patrick Foster, Kaye Foster, Lauralin Hutchinson, and Phillip and a young black actor, Simon Alleyne, all amazing especially Patrick.

It started with two on after hurricane Ivan . I remember seeing him in a wet but intact Grenada airport on the Friday. He was teaching at the offshore University and all the American students were waiting to get out too. "They should have stayed and helped" said Jean. But by then food and water were getting short and I anyway felt guilty. Really I was afraid I'd never get home.
Bought a CD $40.


Saw Therese, (Hadchity director of Zemicon Gallery)
the raku wall plaque in the Juliana Innes exhibition
that Id decided I now wanted and Emailed her in the morning had been sold on the closed day at the gallery.

Finished the Monoprints at last for Barbadiana. Did number 5 "the foot ", the left foot. Sarah came to pay rent earlier & sang "Someday your prince will come" from the film Cinderella. Doesn't work well when written down , its prints/prince. She likes puns.
