The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

Clearing up

Despite the late finish last night, we still needed to get up early this morning to take down and clear up from the exhibition in Villa de Bank. There was quite a lot of work to be done, with work needing to be packed up and taken away, everything removed from the walls, and holes plastered.

Finally, all the walls needed to be painted so that the space looked more or less exactly as we had left it. In between all this the various groups were departing and so goodbyes needed to be said, and so it was not before 7 o’clock that I could finally sit down in the train to Amsterdam. I must say that this was a good feeling, although one which was cut short by the announcement of a seinstoring (signal fault) on the line which would need three changes of train before getting home.

As it happened, though, the fault was corrected quicker than expected, and the train made it to Amsterdam after all. Perfect!
