8th (Friday)
Overcast, with some light rain

9th (Saturday)
Met up with Eve upstairs at Robson
Market, & then walked through the
heavy rain to the Indian Bistro on
Davie. Had two plates of butter chicken,
which was quite excellent. Decided we
would do separate drawings with a
common theme, which was squids. 'A
kraken by Christmas!'

10th (Sunday)
U.S. Open tennis, nice to see Nadal win

14th (Thursday)
Saturna Island
A surreal view of three ships in the
passage at the same time, sailing east
towards port, in the sparkling autumn
waters. Was thinking they could be
metaphors for Fran & Minori & Reanne
Hawks & ravens in playful abundance,
dragonflies & woodpeckers darting past,
& a solo appearance by a bald eagle.
Was sad to hear the 'Queen of Nanaimo'
had made its final trip just a few days
before

15th (Friday)   [photo collages]
Japanese girl upstairs at Robson Market,
from near Hiroshima. Has an intriguing
face

16th (Saturday)   [photo collages]
Dropped in on 309, Reanne just returned
from Toronto, with some encouraging
news about her Dad

17th (Sunday)   [photo collages]
Texting Reanne from Subway, the Trump
Tower looming over the Coastal Church,
'Since we talked yesterday something
good re: Fran. So totally quantum!! Fill
u in next week.' She replied, [That's
great to hear!]

18th (Monday)
Work on webpages for the gallery
