Trump or Fart - which word do you use in your household

The American presidential election result defies comment... so I'm not wasting time making any - instead I'm getting on with what interests me and currently directly affects me - I'm not so naive to imagine that decisions made in the scary world several thousand miles away wont impact on my life but for now I'm concerning myself with the fact that I've made it through rush hour traffic to college and no one else is here - ha ha do they know something I don't?

We get our 'skills for making' brief today - this should be a welcome change from all the computer based work which we have been so tied up with over the last few weeks, I'm looking forward to it.

tall ships

Last week we selected some drawings to be working from, currently I've chosen some line work of bridges and Amble Pier but I may change my mind when I get actual brief.

Fellow students finally turned up and its hands on for the next project.. watch this space!

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira. An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed. First of all the weather is really splendid. Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds.. Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm. Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs. In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill. It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town - completely over everybody's house... So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
