my life as a artist
a weekend away

Hello Everybloggy! I thought today, we could just go on holiday, why not! Over these last few weeks, you've had to cope with a sporadic supply of blogs, sometimes of variable quality, and not only that, you've also had to deal with a retinal barrage of outsider art. You must be shattered.
On top of the daily grind of reflection and pottering, I've also had to frame over thirty oeuvres (that means art-works… it's French and possibly pretentious, but I'm using it in this case, because coupled with 'thirty', you get an 'er-er' sound, which subliminally suggests physical exertion. I don't need to tell you this, but I want to be honest with you, because subliminal manipulation is a serious business, and buy one of Rory Motion's paintings I know we've had issues of trust in the past.)
I thought it might be nice to go to Manda Nkwichi, a rather special eco-tourist lodge on the shores of Lake Malawi, Mozambique side (see home page, 'Hi Nyanja'). Even though we're only going there in cyber-space, I'd still recommend you to wear a pair of shorts and take on board plenty of fluids.
We've just come from Malawi into Mozambique, through passport control, which consisted of a nice man called Paul under a mango tree. Jan, the Dutch pilot who's just dropped us off, here on the island of Likomo, kindly agrees to pose, with his plane, on his way back to Lilongwe.
The green boat on the shore is the mighty SS Nkwichi, which will sail us across Lake Malawi to the lodge. I'm so glad we've managed to get away for a while, just the twenty-eight thousand a month of us, without the kids. Are you happy, darling?

I think it's a model aircraft and the child is controlling it...with his mind.

It looks like a scene from Tenko - a Japanese pilot is cruelly machine-gunning civilians on the beach. On the left is a crashed biplane.
