- wake up nice but no water in flat

- i realise that i dont have a key from the studio, so i cant go there earlier than 10h, have to find out where is the key - i reckon i forgot it yesterday in the bathroom when the phone ringed

- go to the lab. In the front I met a guy, nice one Sameh, he speaks perfect english and really helps me. He is also doing some bureacracies there. As my thing seem to be more complicated and I have to wait I join him for a while in his paperworks. He lives in Holland and he says he is graphic designer. I am worried about the key so I go to the studio and we arrange to meet later, he will help me to finnish my tasks.
