27th February
Its over a week since the fire. Life has been so busy as this emergency demanded space in what was already a busy time.
We have held a Green Door network meeting to update people, seek their support and ideas for future decisions, visited premises, and finally last night met as the steering group so that we could make the final decisions about what offers to accept and how we will manage the uncertain future.
Before the meeting I spent an hour with Richard focusing on our joint proposal of work for the Green Door show for Farfield Mill in a fortnight. It felt like grabbed time for me but so welcome to be thinking about our work rather than the fire.
This week I haven’t had a swim, played my saxophone or much else so need to change that to restore energy levels. I know that others are stressed out too but if feels like we are so much better placed now than a week ago.
I keep thinking of that charred wood and ash as pigment.
