Art, Museums and Galleries are my work, rest and play. Food and travel fill in the gaps. Tea drinker. Musings are my own.

Beautiful evening at the Ulster Museum with an audience for a special screening of the first two episodes of Leonard and Hungry Paul. Delighted with the reaction. Thanks so much to BBC Northern Ireland for all the support. They really championed this and made it happen.

Finally I was able to record one of the woodpeckers in the garden this weekend. I feel so privileged to have up to three of these amazing birds visit everyday. Thanks to the free Merlin bird call app.

I watched it in the City Hospital after having an emergency appendectomy. Ciggie in hand, drip in arm on the TV in the Dayroom. The day before the orderlies asked if I wanted to be put in a wheelchair to go and watch the Twelfth 😳

👃 Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'smells in art' for ‘Scented Visions' at the Watts Gallery.
🌸 'Still Life' by Georges Jeannin overflows with sensory information. You can almost smell the bright bouquet and the slightly acrid odor of the spilt vase water.
