It’s not possible to be all kind and understanding at midnight, 1am , 2am. I didn’t invite it in. It could leave the same way it arrived.

Too much “beeping” is not good. It’s the weekend. The time for relaxing and creating energy for the week ahead.

At 2am I picked up my mattress and dragged it through into my other room where although it was 30C, anything was better than intermittent ” beeping”.

With the fan on full speed as close as possible I could still hear the ” beeping”, but at a tolerable distance.

By this time the ethereal music, rock and then explosive music had finished. Having the fan on pretty much drowns out the music. (Which is so loud that I can hear it very well from my doorstep. )

This morning I mostly read and tried to wake up.

After lunch I watched a video about an interview with Alice Neel, who I’d never heard of. I enjoyed it very much. Unlike the next video where someone was explaining why they thought she painted what she did.

I felt a bit inspired and decided to paint a ” souvenir ” from the feste.

I was all excited and then disappointed as often happens……It’s not finished yet so maybe there is hope……..

It will probably be left now until I finish my paid work.

Tomorrow I hope to get white paint and prepare to start work on my next mural.

Now I’m ready for a glass of wine.

I’m going to sleep in the other room again tonight.

I have looked for the cricket and think it may be hiding behind 20 bags of pellets. It’s easier to sleep next door than move them.
