Holidays

Saturday. The move back to England has precipitated some panic buying... the opportunity to pick up handbags, jeans and software that would be otherwise beyond financial means has proved too difficult to resist. A sneaky basement at the bottom of a lane house, by prior agreement and surreptitious rendezvous only, provides kelly with several soft well named handbag specimens and a nice Gucci wallet for me.

Sunday. Dinner party for fellow artists and loafers. Lamb from the veg lady (Wulumuqi Lu)- the source of the finest fresh produce in the whole of Shanghai- good enough for Craig (Mr Willis) Willis who is also a regular customer. Great conversation, SHAW turned up and unleashed a proposal for our new project... watch this space. All started well, then the loafers turned up to finish the wine and keep us awake for a few hours.

Monday. Happy Valley- a Chinese theme park with rides that put Alton Towers to shame... however the queues were huge so we spent time at the kids rides...

Tuesday. Collected the prints from the printer and delivered them to Stevo at M97- the finest photographic gallery in China- nay contemporary art gallery in China..! Awaiting me there were 6 awesome looking prints that had been beatifully mounted on aluminium- my latest project. Popped in to see my gallerist and made a few preparations for Saturday's show...

and then returned home to spend the afternoon on the concrete balcony better known as 'the garden' to our kids, drinking a cool one with my beautiful wife. Oh happy days!
