When I left library the Community Room was jammed with kids and parents. This for the Parents Academy program that just yesterday at the Program Committee mtg. was described as having trouble recruiting participants. Amazing. 

Back home the gallery was open. Very few visitors. Then  at 5 for the opening a bunch of people showed up for the opening. Suddenly at about 6:45 the people evaporated. Took two artists to train station. 

Dinner then watched more of The Fall series. Maybe too intense and violent. img_4304 img_4305 img_4306 img_4307 img_4309
