Best wishes and Happy Easter,
My grandsons and their parents will be visiting me/us.

so good of you to compliment my photographic and illustrative efforts. i am aware of a frequent lack of quality, but occasionally get a result that is not totally awful. the few acceptable pictures i put down to having good karma. i am kind to people, generous and helpful, though far from perfect. revenge is unproductive. think of how that poor fig tree suffered after jesus' childish little tantrum.

wonderful for you to be together with your grandsons and their parents at easter. i wish you a happy reunion. during private conversations leonard said many things i'll always remember, but during dinner before a concert at molde he quietly confided "there is one thing more important than money, sex or religion - and that is family." are they coming from afar, alan, sleeping over with you, do you see them often?

it was not my intention to post more drawings, but would like to show 3 from yesterday as proof of artistic ineptitude. i should add that i am not ashamed, it is what it is (quoting jessie reyez) - and the auratransformation wiped away all trace of the deadly sin of pride.

don't struggle to respond too much to this rant, alan. as you know, i can be an insufferable chatterbox - and know that long messages are notoriously unpopular. relax, stay well, and enjoy your family get-together

tomorrow i am going lots of places, me and a friend, starting early i meet him off the ferry at magerholm and we drive to skodje. after that to sjøholt, then over the fjord to sykkylven. i don't drive that toyota yaris any more, now i have got an old mercedes - 2007 model. you want to see it? well, ok i will load it up, hold on . . . i've stuck it down below. it's black, and i got it free from someone who likes me. i rubbed out the registration number because that's what people say you should do if you're posting a picture of it online. it takes diesel, not petrol, and diesel is cheaper than petrol if you didn't know that. ok then, i'll pop back in later, right now i'm going to drive to my favourite place, the shopping centre moa amfi. there is a cafe there that sells wonderful greek salad with feta cheese, sunkissed cherry tomatoes, red onion, iceberg lettuce, black olives - loads of stuff - and on the top rich balsamic vinegar. it is served with black coffee and french bread. i love it. for pudding i go along to the funky yoghurt stall and buy frozen wild berry yoghurt with chocolate chip and caramel sauce. as i have said before, moa is my favourite place in the whole world, it's huge and i know every shop, every nook and cranny - and people nod and smile at me, exchange a few nice words. life is sweet! take a tip from me, forget going for long walks in the nature, that's boring, go to the biggest shopping centre near you and start to actually live!!! if you are anything like me you will be filled with inspiration and energy and be so glad to be where your spirit thrives and belongs.

Glad to see you're putting the magazine to good use. Works perfectly with the great drawing!

(I meant to post this under the "Come on back to the war" drawing but I missed my window to post there.)
