APRIL FOOL'S DAY - dawn sketches No.3 – 8.24am 1st April 2011
Blessed arrival.
Thoughts ahead to a new book for the 2011 Doverodde Book Fair in Denmark,
title ". . . in the air".
In dreams, as we all do, I am known to fly.
Step lightly, up into the flawless sky, and. . . away.
APRIL FOOL'S DAY - dawn sketches No.1 – 5.31am 1st April 2011
Heading North last Friday with the new day and month, home for Mothering Sunday.
An insanely early train out of necessity. Awaking before 4.oo a.m, then out into that strange, non-world of the deadest hours of the night.
The 73 bus, however, full of people. The drunken at the dregs of their previous day, the semi-comatose beginning their new one. Strangely, as I was abed by 10pm I am fairly chipper.
On the train. Nicely quiet. Cracking a new Moleskin sketchbook (the 2nd of a pack of three gifted to me at Christmas last by my dear friend Karen of Williamsburg, Massachusetts), I set down the line skeleton's of future ideas. . .
For your viewing pleasure I now post a selection.
I thank you.

The clocks go forward and the crime is solved
To bed after watching the final episodes of the superb Danish thriller 'The Killing' on the thrice-blessed BBC iPlayer.
With twenty convoluted episodes that gripped all right-thinking viewers – and a uniformly excellent cast headed by Sofie Gråbøl as Detective Sarah Lund – this never failed to provide compelling and compassionate drama. Serial storytelling of the highest quality, in short.
It's been a worthy successor to the Swedish version of Henning Mankell's 'Wallander' (starring the beautifully hang-dog Krister Henrikkson in the title role).
I will miss it.
RIP Nanna Birk Larson.
