So I popped round to Philippe’s today for a cup of tea, which is always a mistake if you have things to do. “Oh, I’ll just pop in for a few minutes,” I thought and before I knew it the day was done. Anyway, while I was there I took a few more snaps with my mobile phone of some of the better pieces for your delectation and (indeed) delight…

Good Morning Kyoto (It’s not a blurry photo, that’s the way he painted it…)

La Vieille ( I actually bought this one - Yes! I’m a buyer! - simply because it reminds me of Swampthing).
Kiyomizu
Uwasa (I like this one, but I can’t afford it…)
I thought this one was called Disassociation but for the time being it’s Puppet from Birth.


Motoko-san and another lady, whose name I forgot to catch were there admiring Philippe’s book of French pastries…

When in walked Eric and Rie…

And while we sipped tea and munched on cakes Eric said “Would anyone be interested in getting on the guest list for Michael Franti tomorrow night?” And so I’m going to see Spearhead again after a ten year interval - the last time was in Cambridge with Rik Abel and Matt Allen as I recall. Brilliant!
Now you should be able to see the video I posted to Youtube last night if you scroll down a wee bit and press play. For some reason I can’t see it on my computer but everyone else I’ve asked seems to have no problems at all. let me know if there’s a problem though and I’ll get right on it (i.e. ask Rik).
