Friday 20. 01. 17 Got back from our trip to Cuba last night. A great week – no painting but sunshine, sea and lots of good conversation.
Cuba
Thursday 12. 01. 17 Have had another great Christmas and New Year here in Toronto and am off for a week in Cuba today. Besides sea and sunshine and no WiFi am hoping to get back into some drawing.

London, Bordeaux
Sunday 27. 11. 16 Just back from a trip to Bordeaux where I saw Marie-Pierre and Olivier, the Dordogne where I stayed with Marie-Annick and Hervé and London where I met Carole, Julia and Daisy and saw Carol. Highlights were seeing M-A & H’s new house, the Kentridge show at the Whitechapel and the Kiefer show at the White Cube Bermondsey and of course the Christmas lights.
Remembrance Day
Saturday 12. 11. 16 It has been an odd few days. My laptop went into a deep sleep which left me with only my iPod and then the car has been temperamental, however I seem to be over this phase now and hopefully everything will continue to work. Yesterday went to the annual Remembrance Day ceremony here. Less people than last year.
Toussaints
Tuesday 01. 11. 16 Went to the cemetery today at noon after seeing Paul for coffee and then did this painting of the flower sellers.
