First drawing
Aug 10th 2018
Friday 10. 08. 18 I was looking through some old papers for the receipt for my canoe when I came across this drawing. It must be one of my first, done when I was 5.
77

Monday 06. 08. 18 Today was my 77th birthday and Jason and Julia took me on a bike ride. First we went to the Power Plant and then over to Old Fort York. Lunch was along the lake and then we came back to Carole’s for a family birthday dinner with trifle – yummy!!!
Merrickville

Friday 03. 08. 18 Just back from an exciting trip to see Martin and Beryl. Martin and I went into Ottawa and managed to get to the Cube Gallery, The National Gallery and The Table where Suzette was exhibiting. I also had lunch with Roy and Suzette at the Yellow Canoe. Plus we watched 8 episodes of Better Call Saul – busy times!
House on Parliament

Saturday 28. 07. 18 Had lunch with Stan and Marg at the HOP yesterday. Bizarre seeing them in Toronto instead of Clermont.
Niagara-on-the-Lake

Tuesday 24. 07. 18 Just back from a couple of days chez Veronica and Arthur. We had a great time with some tasty meals, good chats and a wander through town. Here is a Cardinal on their bird feeder.
Santa Maria
Jul 17th 2018
Tuesday 17. 07. 18 Rode to the beach in Mèze this morning but it was quite windy so continued on to Séte where this replica of the Santa Maria is moored for a few days. I am always surprised at how small these ships were.
Ruskin
Jul 10th 2018
Tuesday 10. 07. 18 I have been reading John Ruskin’s The Elements of Drawing and keep meaning to do some plein air sketches but I get distracted by the sunshine and warm water as at Mèze today.
Musée de Lodève
Jul 8th 2018
Sunday 08. 07. 18 Rode over to the new renovated museum this morning. It is a lot bigger and they have done a great job on the renos but I still find it an odd mix with the Paul Dardé sculptures and the archeological exhibits. Did this little watercolour in the afternoon.
Watercolour
Jul 7th 2018
Saturday 07. 07. 18 Was clearing up the studio and noticed that I hadn’t done any small watercolours for a while.
Summer is here
Jun 25th 2018
Monday 25. 06. 18 And the living is easy. Finally made it to Trois Digues today for the first time this year. Wonderful, the sea was refreshing but not cold.
