Well, it's early Sunday morning and I can't believe it's my last day in Missoula. I just started the day with THE most enormous diner breakfast - pancakes, bacon, eggs - medium over easy - maple syrup and oj, coffee. I left half of it but it was so nice to have found somewhere good to eat. I, as a rule, don't add salt to anything, when I'm cooking or when I'm eating food. I've found the amount of salt in everything so difficult - the other day I had breakfast in the motel, mmmm porridge I thought until I tasted the salt, then OJ mmmm healthy, it was so laden with sugar it was unbearably sweet. It was like a scene from Goldilocks and the three bears. Talking to Stuart from Tennessee he told me that when his friends visited the UK all the food was SOO bland, they couldn't bear it.

I have a full day of films ahead of me so I'm glad to be here early, bright eyed and bushy tailed. All my travelling caught up with me yesterday and instead of being at the Saturday party I went to bed at 4pm and slept till 8am this morning. I was sorry to miss the all the festivities and the big film 'Jesuscamp' but my body said NO and I feel so much better today.

I spent quite a bit of time zapping through the 60 tv channels on offer at my motel - the Anna Nicole Smith story just won't go away. It is guarenteed to be on one of the channels at any time of the day Britney's shaved barnet is also huge news.

So in 5 minutes I'm going to see the portraitist about a photographer in the concentration camps who only survived because he was documenting for the nazis. Difficult but necessary stuff.
