25 July – Wandered around Boulogne all day – did all the tourist stuff and then felt confused about what I was doing – so many ideas and words swimming around my head …. kept getting side tracked. The place is heaving with holiday makers and people enjoying the sunshine … feels strange to spend so much time alone – thinking about art, trying to make some kind of response to the place – it’s not unpleasant but decidedly odd.
French people don’t seem to use mobiles/camera/camcorders/iPods etc the way we do – felt quite conspicuous getting my various cameras out every 5 minutes – only seen about 2 people use a mobile let along a camcorder !
