hello,alex here,we are at the workshop and I am sick as a dog.I delivered my entry to the National Portrait (painting )prize today.I always feel a bit flat after I do this.The portrait has been sitting on the back of the cooker this last week,looking at me while I do the cooking.I will miss it.

nile says;the portrait gallery was a bit boring and disgusting but after we went to watch avatar in 3d it was sick(wicked).

alex says;I really loved the Portrait Gallery,especially because I have entered the B.P Portrait Prize this year with a portrait of my friend the writer Courttia Newland.

Nile loved the Hip Hop and the giggling with everyone. we had an o.k time at the photography workshop but got lost in the dark on the way home. .....

I really loved Nation because I was immediately taken away from t .....

nile says; i think  its good because you get to spend more time with your parents( when your not getting shouted at about messy rooms)

alex says; i was looking forward to spending time with nile and talking about something else other than the football and not yelling at him about his untidy room.

also,i've always wanted to blog but i've never known where to begin.
