One perfect, scented rose from the garden, reminding me both of my lovely, late ma-in-law, who gave me the vase and a dear friend, Mary de Laszlo, who gave me the rose

Visually impaired version! The dawn was a pale, mottled amber, like faded endpapers in an old book, and I thought of the cache of Victorian weepy novels I found and pleasurably wept over as a child, especially one called Her Benny... until my mother hid it

Also in #Stockbridge Edinburgh is a great small restaurant #Purslane St Stephen's Street. Exemplary cooking

@AlexCoombsCrime Most of my accessible pics of my paintings are of pre-shattered vision era - must get Robin to put the latest ones where I can access them. But here is an old one, The Last Supper... I'm both in it, and in front of it.

Currently reading this by #PhilipMarchand on #MarshallMcCluhan , the
