Day 10: Painting Breakthrough

Ok, no pictures today, but I am pretty excited cause I did a good painting today, not Great, but good. I was excited not that i made a good painting, but that i am starting to enjoy it and not be so discouraged. So I painted in the warm, beautiful sun this morning, then this afternoon i walked around town by myself. it was odd at one point when I walked in front of a silly picture that three american tourist were taking in front of the eagle and child (C.S. lewis' hangout place) and I thought to myself, silly tourist, taking tourist photos:) (I have no idea why i felt i had a right to think i was NOT a forigner, but it does feel a little like home away from home, its nice). anyway after walking around I came back to the house and visited with everyone staying for the weekend over tea and scones, it was nice. Some of us gals went to a lebineese restaraunt tonight to try something new, it was really good, lamb and chicken. Then we came back and i arranged my trips for the remainder of my time here. this weekend will be super chill:) (in the words of my friend Sarah). Cheersmate!
