At this point my shoulder feels like its just been leant on for a long time. I feel much comfortable. And I feel like long posts! Sorry guys! ^_^

Strange thing is yesterday I was picking up some cream to put on it from the local pharmacist and bumped into the head of the local centre... And found out that its closing down due to a dispute with the local council. I got my sketchbook back I left there 2 years ago. The centres been around for 66 years, while the building has been around since Shakespeare time and is even listed as "haunted". In fact the "ghost of Shakespeare" is one of the "ghosts" said to haunt it as he was there back in his day at one point. The "hauntings" still continue and the most recent I was told of when I was there on a project a few years ago was of a carpet layer who heard someone call his name - but he was the only one in that particular building. Regardless, there will be no one now to look after the guidehall...

I wonder what will happen now? Having the Guidehall was a big deal as it allowed Kings Lynn to experience 200 years of prosperous trading when it was made then and left a legacy for the town... Outside of London, it became one of the most profitable towns to be in for a time. With the art centre gone someone else will have to take over. The Art Centre handles all the cultural aspects in terms of art for the town including handling of local artists and hiring of performances on the behalf of certain events. :-/

But back to the strange thing - Turns out "Liz" the woman in charge had only spoken about me an hour. They had no way of getting hold of me and they wondered how they could. We just happen to meet an hour later in Boots... Which was good a they wouldn't have been able to give the sketchbook back to me at all as nobody had any method of contacting me.
