SUNDAY
My storeroom has changed completely today – but more changes yet to come I think.
I've brought materials and tools back to the flat tonight to make more boxes.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Working on 10 ideas.
I learn something new about birds from my daily drawing. Blackbirds and tits and thrushes are 'perchers'. They have 3 toes at the front and one at the back so they can perch on twigs, fences.
Song thrushes can start singing as early as February.
WE'RE ON YOUTUBE.
Our first full day at Crate today. We're settling in and reminding ourselves that the work doesn't usually fall into place straight away and trusting that it will develop over the next few days.
We've started lots of things and are uploading 60 second video clips to YouTube so you can watch our daily progress.

WE ARE HERE
We've arrived and all our stuff. Lovely spaces and plenty of heaters for such a cold weekend.
Our stuff fills half of the space. Lots of sorting to do, lots of work to do.
Fantastic flat.
First pictures.
PACKING
Madly gathering stuff to take – it will never fit in the car – ideas bubbling up – they all need loads of materials to try out – but I cannot take it all. Will put everything downstairs and see how much I can get in. Lots of ideas will not work but I need the overflowing in order to let things happen. The hole in the earth beckons.
