Painting: Still-life with a tall Chinese porcellain vase in white with branches, blooms and leaves in blue standing in the middle between a couple of brown hazelnuts, some open, on the left, and a big bright orange orange which I thought was a pumkin on the right. All on a brown wooden table in front of an almost black background.

The ground floor of a bookshop lined with shelves, and  above a mezzanine that is also lined with shelves. The floor is busy with shoppers.

Sometimes you gotta turn it off, and you gotta walk away
And then sometimes you gotta say, "This is gonna be the day"
Sometimes you gotta turn it off, yeah, you gotta walk away
And then sometimes you gotta say, "There ain't no other fucking way"
