Lift drawing, contact improvisation and The sacred Garden.



I am on a new one of rich's allotments. It needs some really big sycamore trees cut
down.

Once we have cut them down we realise how much space we have and we also reveal a south facing wall with lots of stone at the foot of it.  I say to Pete that we will get the chance to plant fruit trees and also I get all this free stone to carve.

I'm late for life drawing, but I decide to go anyway,

I arrive and my friend has who needed a job and is poor, has got the new job of collecting the money for life drawing class. This is a good thing as he really needed the cash. He says to me -"big tits are more chaotic"... I'm not quite sure what he means, perhaps drawing them is harder or something...

We need a nude model - everyone has just been drawing abstract things on their paper, so I offer to be the nude for a while.

Now something changes and we all start dancing...

Everyone finds a partner to dance with and kiss but me. I feel left out, and emotional, and so I go to find a new group to join, and find a girl and we have a kiss, but it doesn't last,  and now it evolves into a big group jam.

One lady feels left out of the jam, its accually because she doesn't have the flexibility of the rest of us, and can't do the moves. We work with her more carefully in the dance so as to include her.

Nicola has a new garden.  She has bought a place big enough to fit all her family together.  There's a canal that goes through the garden. I follow it down in a canal boat to explore beyond, to the bottom of the garden. The boat, despite being very big, is very light, and I am able to pick it up, which is suprising. Down at bottom of the garden there is a beautiful lawn. It has an amazing view across the city of Sheffield, and a view that looks all the way down Ecclesall rd, to the shops around hunters bar roundabout, which have been done up and now they are all painted green.  This garden feels like a special sacred space.
