Virgin Media Box Visit 2

I made my way back to Ruth's house today to collect the paints, brushes, and the rest of the little supply pack she has been preparing for all of us who are painting. I helped with filling up containers with the paints I needed and mixing a few colours to match my design. The paints they have got for this project are from Seagulls Paint Store in Leeds who reuse leftover and unwanted paint. Seagulls aims to cut down on waste by providing a sustainable resource but also contribute positively to the local community. They are definitely a name to remember for if I need paint supplies in the future. 

Ruth also reminded me today that I am allowed to sign the box so I need to have a think about what I want to put on it to link it back to me. Do I want my name on there or would it be more worthwhile to put my Instagram name on there (these are the problems you face when you're a SMITH). 

On arrival at my box I noticed someone had decided to make their own mark on it, luckily it wasn't anything major but it was just a bit annoying and it took a good scrub and a few coats of paint to cover it. Anyway, these things happen and life goes on! 

I made a start on painting and then it started to rain - typical! I managed to get three colours done which is better than nothing bit I had planned on getting all my colours done today so I just had the black outlines left to complete. I had to leave it at that though because the forecast for the rest of the afternoon was not great. I've brought all my supplies home with me so that I can go back and continue whenever I want without having to hassle Ruth all the time by collecting things from her house. She's giving up so much of her time to organise all of this I don't want to make it any harder for her and the others involved!
