We had a great sail yesterday which was a lovely end to the summer. We entered our first race, and although I'm sure we lost spectacularly, we completed the course and had a great time and some really good experience. After a couple of wobbly outings over the summer it was a really nice way to end the season. We are so lucky to have this chance to get out on the water, there is nothing like it.
I had a bit of a crazy week in the house having a bit rearrange of the rooms. Maybe I mentioned in my last post about no longer wanting to having a studio in the house; lots of nuanced reasons. Anyway, I spent Wednesday and thursday sorting out the cupboards in the studio, which made realise the whole situation doeant work, and it is nothing but ridiculous and self indulgent to own that volume of stuff, dedicated to making art, something I so rarely do.
After a bit of a clear out (there'll be more to follow), I took the fireplace out of the room and started hefting furniture about. Once I have finished clearing up we will have a really nice back sitting room/piano room.
I had to dismantle my work desk to do this. Will made it for me to fit my studio in the old garden, and I couldn't bear to leave it. I have always loved it, and in a way its been a bit of a symbol of Will's kindness and support. It was quite emotional taking it down. He had helped me to do everything I ever wanted to do, even if it was silly or selfish.
I feel really strongly now more than ever that I just need to devote myself to will and the girls and the house, and create a really good, beautiful situation for us all to live in.
