I have just been told today is Saturday. Been here nearly a week already! Not done any art today. Went down into Paphos to find a fabric shop where we bought canvas and Calico. I am planning to run an embroidery class as there are a few people interested so the calico will come in useful. It is hard finding materials out here, we take it for granted in England what with Hobbycraft (I miss hobbycraft!), the internet and markets. The best way here is to ask someone, as alot of the time the shops look unlikely places and you probably wouldn't go in them otherwise!
We are sussing out the buses now and are looking less like tourists and more like students. There were lots of 'Brits abroad' in the market today and we were trying desperately not to look like one of them! No one has tried to sell us a Time Share so it must be working.
Went swimming in the sea yesterday which was lovely. It is a bit of a walk but will keep me fit and healthy! There is a large metal shipwreck out in the sea, I might try and get a little nearer and have a go at painting it. It seems to be stuck on some rocks, I bet someone got in trouble over that one...
Anyway, off to cook Houlumi and lentils (gosh I will be fit and healthy!)
Will leave you with a picture of the finer side of life in the Cyprus College of art accomodation block...
P.S. There was a snake in the kitchen last night. It came down from the roof and landed on someone. The little puddycats have gone to a new restaurant, I mean er...home, and the dogs were doing their hundred and one Dalmation impression last night

Why did you start on stone carving?
Looks like you are having a good time. Thinking of using photo, ref to the loo for our oversea Students. Carving looks good, try chipping away a women, then you can make her a dress with embroidery on. Cash office sends best wishes.
What is Houlumi?
Cheese that you fry! It has a weird texture like chicken but it's very nice. We had it when we went to that fayre at Wisley...I may have spelt it wrong!
