Norway. Staying with my friend Tom Mountjoy and this is his Norwegian forest cat otherwise known as “the fuffy one”. His dad Jim was a good friend to me back in the 80s in Dunedin.

Recreational fur ball removal. Dr Tom Mountjoy is a researcher barman, Gym instructor and part time furball remover…has scissors will travel.

The sailors rest. Ulrik, the guy who sponsored my trip to Europe dropped me off here last Saturday night after a great little show in a seaside town nearby….the next day i explored the town.

Denmark’s answer to Picton. What a place! Even the kiosks had pokey machines and the pubs were mostly smoke filled rooms frequented by career drinkers. The sailors rest appeared to have a 24/7 party going on in the office and the cigarette smoke pervaded every room in the hotel. I played music for them and they were very partial to it…which surprised me.

Post your postcards here.

Tom and his furry friend (again…)

Thought for the day. This shirt validates a happy snapper.
A mind is like a parachute – it doesn’t work if it’s not open

Vultures in for the kill. Nice buildings gutted and largely under enemy occupation. The war goes on. Even if it’s costly. Go around the corner and buy lunch in a real place run by people who care.

Children recognise music first. Kids often recognise that my sound is worth a listen and they want to stay a while ….and in this instance the parents encouraged them to .their dad took this photo.lovely family.

So crass it’s almost high art…

It’s not the way forward is it? This is not what millions died to allow. This isn’t freedom of expression; this is a war of nerves where the price of everything and the value in nothing abounds.

A far cry from the man with the eskimo and old european values.

This eskimo is a hundred euros. Made by Lisa anderson in the 60’s – seen here with the owner. The little eskimo stays in the window but you can buy her for 100 euros ( about $NZ 160)

Dont want to leave her here. Wish i could tour with lisas eskimo but she’s in safe hands she might get smashed in my luggage if she tours with me.

As does this one, So cute. It’s not on topic i know but i love kitsch.
