WELL WELL DAMMED WELL !!

Foxy the Kitten and I showing off our work - yes - it is ' huge!!!!!!!

---

I think it could only happen in Kouklia !! On Tuesday this week it was a busy morning at the Artworks. A planned meeting, then two unplanned visitors - Crafters coming and going with re -stocking - cats to feed - and all within the first hour ! 
Then suddenly Marios from the council pitched up and wanted my attention - ' would I paint a piece of scenery for the Kouklia Youth Club play?'
' How big' - says I
Marios indicated around 3 feet from the ground - ' it's just a well made of board' - he said 
By When'? says I
'Friday'
So there I am, imagining a 2d flat cut out of a well, water butt or some-such ( given my little grasp of Greek you just go with what you can) 
I thought about my commitments, and can I juggle things for him.
'OK yes' ' enechi Problema!
My jaw dropped when 30 minutes later a truck pulled up with a life-sized 3d model of the Kouklia Church water fountain! - it was HUGE!!!!!!
GULP!! - AND by Friday !!! - Reschedule all activities for rest of week - note to self - view the job prior to agreement!!!
Anyway - with the able assistance of Mientje ( basecoat) and Julie ( soil) and the quick method of sponge to apply stone colours we were doing well ( well - haha) - when I happened to bump into Marios. - Wednesday.
Is it ready? - said Marios 
Ugh??/ said I 
'We need it for Thursday for rehearsals !' 
AAAARRRGH !!


I'm always a sucker for a deadline - but REALLY???Anyway, we managed to pull it off by Thursday 2.00 - just in time to run the Kouklia Kids Art group.
I was delighted to see it riding resplendent through Kouklia square on the back of a truck, ready for rehearsal.
The play is tonight - Friday - in the square - Can't wait to ' see it in action!!!!
