I was going to say just be grateful I'm here in one piece.

Tell me I'm doing silly things.

Right, we are back for art Juice. This is episode 184 if we've got the numbers right.

This is honest, generous and humorous conversations that will feed your creative soul and get you thinking with me Alice Sheridan and me Louise Fletcher and we're just going to have a little bit of a catch up this week

Louise is back home again after her retreat you've been back for about a week now, is that right?

I have just over a week.

Okay. Very tiring week back.

I must say.

Very tiring week back. And I have just returned from a very busy Manchester art fair last night. So we are going to do this as a one take wonder with no edits. People, you know, said, oh, they were quite surprised that we edit. They thought we were this seamless and eloquent without

arms and ours naturally.

Oh, they thought it was so rubbish it can possibly be edited one way or another.

That will the other. But I know there will be lots of you listening who I met this weekend

because I had lovely conversations with you about it so hello to everybody we're

back this is one of those random ones hope you enjoy it. How long was the out for?

Was it two days? So it was two days but it's it was I was planning it on

being four nights away so I drove up on Thursday later than I planned, took a long while and my son's in Manchester.

So I went out for dinner with him on Thursday, hang on Friday, private view, Saturday,

Sunday and then actually we got packed up fairly swiftly so I decided to drive home and

sleep in my own bed with my own pillow and my own mattress which is always much nicer rather than

wait and stay another night. So I was home late-ish, but you know it was good to wake

up at home this morning. It was good. It was different from last year because last year they still had time tickets and so there was a consistent

flow and I think people who came were a bit more committed whereas this year it was very busy.
