I've looked up the artist mentioned here yesterday: C Stanley Todd and learnt some revelations about his work and art. This wildlife painter inspired by some other artist (some sources use the word obsessed... ) designed a label for The Famous Grouse, one of Scottish whisky brands.

Loads to say about today, but no time to elaborate.
The bike was in use today after a necessary visit to a bike shop to get some air pumped into the back tire. After a long time I made my way to the pretty area of Brentham Village and Pitshanger Lane. The highlight was a spontaneously arranged meeting with the two men behind one book (the book to be launched at The W3 Gallery in Acton tomorrow at 6 pm!)

Yousif and Salah plus my hand with flowers just picked for me by Salah (twenty years in Paris made him very French)!

In the evening I went to a fantastic Buddhist meeting in lovely Chiswick. Met a friend on the way, stopped for a long chat and then managed to choose the longer route which wasn't a bad thing at all. Why? Because I can share with you some more nice pictures, especially of a Russian Orthodox church and a friendly cat.
The meeting was truly amazing, so uplifting and inspiring. Besides, this time it was very artistic: a girl played the guitar and sang a song for us.
It felt so good to see these fantastic people after a while and to have this sense of being welcome. Also, I was most impressed and happy for them, because I could tell they were all moving forward with their lives.
