Good morning, its a tad early but lots is happening today, so I must get started.

Above is a small water colour of the sea front at Budley Salterton on the South Devon coast. About twenty minuets whilst seated on a pile of stones, it was nice and sunny, with a rather sharp wind; that was OK, local natives were behaving well also, a reather pleasant interlude.

You all know how passionate I am about art, well maybe that should read, "About the arts". For me that includes opera, ballet, theatre, music, books, the list goes on.  As I said lots is happening today, not many of you will know that I write poetry, well I do and tonight is my first stage reading of a few of my pieces. I will be appearing at the "After Hours" club at St Andys, on the ground floor of St Andrews Church, Goldsworth Park. Works being read will include, "What is bad Poetry" and the famous "Christmas Cake and Sprout Curry". Entrance is free, but it would be a good idea to book (St Andrews web page) as it does get a little crowded.

Well if Liz does not get her Saturday morning Times, I am in trouble, so maybe I should get a move on.
