Good memories
I came across the work of a childhood friend with whom I lost contact many decades ago. There was a little gang of four, two boys and two girls. The boys were brothers and the girl was another neighbour. All our parents worked in television, as actors or writers, producers and directors, which rubbed on us, so we were always dreaming up new scenarios for our adventures.
The older brother and I used to produce magazines together when we were between 7 and 10 years old. We would spend hours drawing, colouring and doing all the text by hand. Our magazines had only one very precious copy of each issue. My friend pursued a career as an artist.
The younger brother was killed in a road accident when he was 13, the family moved away and that's how we lost contact. I'm still in touch with the girl, but we grew in totally different directions, so we're not bosom buddies anymore.
My friend is very versatile and illustrates children's books, but he also has some collections on other themes. Here are some examples of his "Vases" collection. I really like them and had to share them with you...

News about our next virtual visit and some pretty things
I have received some lovely photos for our next virtual visit. I'll post them when I feel a bit more energetic. Posts with loads of photos are time consuming and I can't stay up at the computer for very long stretches. I've been posting single pics from the i-Pad...
Today I'll step it up to three pictures. I find these really pretty and imaginative:

Oops! I fell asleep and didn't post anything...
I had a bad night, with a sore throat, horrible cough and a very blocked nose. I had forgotten what a pain the neck a cold can be! I fell asleep after lunch and missed my self-imposed deadline for posts. Thank you for all the get well wishes. I'm getting better, but a bit impatient with the slow progress. Here is a cheeky photo. Laughing always helps...

Not feeling well...
I finally caught a bad cold after nearly seven years! The last time I "tried" to catch a cold, I managed to nip it in the bud with a couple of doses of echinacea. I wasn't so lucky this time and ended up at the doctor's office this morning. I'm now medicated, but still feel dreadful.
As you may have guessed, this is a quick "one picture" post, just to keep things going.
I can't remember where I saw this picture, but I like it.
