Day 3

Oneinamillion Changes day 3 saw an increase in the number of visitors over day 2, but it's still nowhere near as great as I'd like. Other people (and artists involved in other shows) keep telling me that the numbers are good, but I think they must live in cloud cuckoo land!!! I want THOUSANDS of people to come and nothing less will do! (Erm, I'd settle for hundreds really).

There's been a positive response from most people (which makes it worthwhile), despite the disappointing hiccups on Saturday with a couple of things not being ready on time for early visitors. Still, all is sorted now and the show does look good.

I'm feeling strangely flat though - I guess it's because all the frenetic activity has finished and I feel like I'm sitting around (you might call it invigilating!), twiddling my thumbs. I helped out with the first workshop at Illogan School today (run by Tim Chamberlain), so that kept me busy for a couple of hours. But as I sat outside the chapel in the wonderfully warm sunshine this afternoon (I was pleased to note that the rain confined itself to the Falmouth area today!) I kept asking myself "what next, what next?", and as yet haven't come up with any answers. I hate this feeling of being in free-fall. I suppose that what's needed now is a period of research and reflection, which might (hopefully) generate some more ideas. Other people would be likely to want a holiday in the sun somewhere after all this activity, but I'm feeling bereft, like I've let something really big go and now there's this hole where it once was and there's nothing else to fill it...I am spent.
