Monday 17th October 2005
8.30am Collected temporary studio from Limerick City Gallery of Art.
9am- 1pm Constructed studio in Limerick City Library. Alterations to structure – placed entrance on other side, resulted in pre drilled holes on sides not lining up (as were opposite) and side panels (on top only) being reversed (white on inside, unpainted on outside). Left door off so those passing could see in and for safety reasons.
Comments and interest from passing public on what structure is for and on building of it.
1pm Bumped into Carl Doran of Contact Studios, they have kindly given me a studio to work in for the next 6 weeks, have to drop in to collect keys this week.

They are a group of 13 (numbers limited and full) who currently meet once a month next meeting November (3rd) to discuss The Hearty is a Lonely hunter by Carson McCullers. Last year when reading Ulysses they met every 2 weeks after reading a couple of chapters. Numbers are capped at 13 (it was meant to be 10) so as to give ever member a chance to speak.

1st Dec The Bone People by Keri Hulme
