I wake every morning to the early light drenching my bed. very lush.
although sometimes need an eyepatch to get more sleep - 5am is too early. then it flips over and suddenly 9 oclock and already behind with the day. off to melbourne in a few hours, still haven't packed. eek. festival, friends and general relaxed deliciousness.

had a wonderful evening at the windsor regional gallery, exhibition of the windsor group 1935-45 of which my grandfather was a member. lovely to be reminded of that rich cultural history, and to be part of it, in such a tangible way. Wonderful photo of rod and fran's wedding day, all merry and making mayhem on the streets of windsor. Such an incredible passion for life and justice, he ran a printery dedicated to high quality content and production, taught art with the wharfies art group and waterside workers federation, designed the coat of arms for unsw and macquarie unis, and was an incredibly generous man. Had a teary moment in the corner with portraits of him, fran and my auntie chrissie, and enjoyed the long ride home with ky and cher through endless model town developments all along the highway. gotta pack.
