Pleased the UK doesn’t have enough oil to be useful to the US. Oil has been the dominant theme in their relentless interventions in the politics of Middle East, and now in South America

Utmost respect to any player who refuses to go to World Cup matches in the USA. Mexico and Canada should be supported, but we know FIFA will not pull out of US schedule. The FA like our Government should have some guts and draw a clear line

I have asked this repeatedly it perplexes me. Where are the Democrats? Where is the coherent opposition to Trump ? The US has to take responsibility to save itself and save the rest of us from Trump’s lunacy.
The mid terms may never happen the way Trump is going. There needs to be another plan

Today i went to the river and the beach. Took 73 photos. Came home, transferred them to iPhotos. Deleted photos from camera card. Tried to open in iPhotos. 'cannot open, no original folder to copy from'. All photos blurred and fuzzy. Pfffff. Good start to the year!

I think I've finished this piece: Abstract Mountain (Metaphor): oil on canvas, 40 x 120cm. I've really enjoyed playing with colours I wouldn't normally reach for, as well as allowing myself to just keep experimenting until it reached a stage I felt happy with. #oilpainting #abstractart #metaphor
