Torching the way

I don't really hate my job; I just would rather be at home painting beautiful pictures. Anyway, I have scrubbed and polished many boxes and nice artists have come in so I have a sense of satisfaction, sort of. But better than that, I have the day off. Oh look a glorious sunny day. I will swim and I will paint and all will be well with the world. The Apprentice writes from France to inform me the Olympic torch will be carried through Kingston and Richmond today. Better avoid them then. It went from Lewisham to Wandsworth yesterday, as did I. By some miracle I didn't get stuck behind it. Now to wash sheets and hang them out to get bird pooed.
