Thanks Phil and Patsy. Patsy, I'm glad you are getting your TA magzines (which reminds me I must get this month's one). I also have a Chinese watercolour book...but I picked it up in Manly!

I don't think it's all over the place I have pictured your journey and so enjoyed it...I can just see you bowling along...and feral well what else after all that...I will go to the link you provided and have a look but your sketch is beautiful and off to the gallery before I log off to see the Asian couple...my day was similar Hubby tired didn't want to go to town but a couple of pathetic looks and off we go why to see if the March issue of The Artist is in the only store in Perth that has it...we always park quite far away because we get it free...a brisk walk Boffins Bookshop first stop a beautiful book on display wild excitement...Chinese Watercolour Techniques by Lian Quan Zhen checked it out lovely looked at the price $50 and I havn't even got into the city yet...have birthday money burning a hole in my purse...no diversions into the bookstore bingo 1 copy of The Artist left snaffle it...my ordered copy dosn't come til 5th May...want a Pandora Bead to show something for my birthday money shop hot crowded got my star sign Aries very nice too...Daughter rings can you get me some dog biscuits turn around get biscuits...shop crowded...rush up to meet Hubby gotta get to Boffins have enough money for the book...get there NO BOOK burger surely it can't be gone in 1 hour...but I believe in the book fairy who helps and puts books back if you stand there looking long enough...10 minutes later I found it someone had filed in the wrong place...by then I wanted it even more...just to think that someone else might have bought it how dare they...$50 later happy girl...stroll back to car call into Daughter's give her dog biscuits...she's been watching Pride And Prejudice who wouldn't with smouldering Mr Darcey...home shower sit tea nothing special just toast and cheese...but Katie-Jane I'm so jealous of you charging around London like that...when my Daughter was there she did the same thing ringing us to tell us what they were doing...I pictured her journey too...keep it up

Wow what an interesting day you had...thank you for bring the outside world int us....
