A friend wanted one of my paintings on her surfboard - I did the painting and Ben Keelty put it on the board. I love it - it is so different to all the other boards I see at the beach. Next time I will put an image on the back as well, as this image is now covered in surfboard wax.

    I am Reading….

    Extinctions by Josephine Wilson - I enjoyed reading this and felt that I knew Fred

    Nutshell by  Ian McEwan
    This book is brilliant.

    The Fish Can Sing by Halldor Laxness
    I had never heard of Halldor Laxness before, but I loved this book, and found it extremely funny. And he did win the Nobel Prize for Literature, so obviously no slouch. 

    Rereading
    The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford - hilarious and some of it so clever and finely drawn.

    Persuasion by Jane Austen. Again
    ​
    The Transit of Venus. I reread this book almost every year.

    I am not reading
    My Brilliant Friend. Have I missed something here?
