Good morning and today has a sleepy start to events. Liz is still not really with it yet and I want to be still and quiet for yet a while. This is my favorite quietness, (apart from my short while spent in prayer each morning), which is to go into the study and start uninterrupted work, while the world still sleeps. I find myself there, its a constant, where I feel comfortable, it helps to keep me stable in trying times, lovely!

As promised here is "Nomophobic"; at last completed. This picture is of it unframed, as with the frame in place (glass and everything) it is a little tricky to photograph. It looks good in the frame, but here, in this situation, it looks best unframed. The word nomophobic is a newish psychiatric term for those who are unable to live without mobile phones, social media and other electronic devises and systems. The small dingy is full of calculators, mobiles. laptops, and an endless mass of office stationary and office IT equipment, with rather doggy wires  trailing through the water, (health and safety please be aware) plus other silly things. It represents the choice of small dingy which a business man would have on holiday, if he was nomophobic. It is important to chuckle and laugh a little at ourselves and with others.

While this is been written a painting is drying and awaiting a next layering of water-co;lour.; maybe you will see that soon, however as more important issues are at stake, I will turn back to that in a moment or two. As before before the return to the painting there is a mug of tea to finish. Now that is important.

See you soon.
