Showed Ann more drawings. Prefered
'Precious Science' & 'Destiny',
more than 'Gentle Thought' &
'Urban Desert', though she said
she like them all. Showed her the
seahorse pastels, which seemed to
intrigue her, so I gave her
'Stellar Nursery'. Developing
idea for 'The Burial of Karl Marx'

Davie & Seymour. A chubby
woman with a Russian accent,
from Moscow, asks, 'Are you
Jewish? - You look either
Jewish or French.'

smiles & says 'Hi' as she
jogs past, on Granville
Bridge
