Klaus Rifbjerg är död. 

Peter Lenken och jag träffade honom en gång

på Gyldendals förlag i Köpenhamn. 

Det blev ett reportage på Världens gång i GP. 

Det handlade om humor. 

Klaus Rifbjerg älskade, liksom jag att besöka Irland.

Jag föreslog att vi skulle göra en 

irlandsresa tillsammans. En bok om ön? 

Ja, låt oss mötas om detta svarade Klaus Rifbjerg.

Men någon sådan resa blev tyvärr aldrig av.

RED SEA

Today is eight years since I sailed up the Red Sea. 

Leaving Djibouti heading for Alexandria.

Red sea, The Suez canal and Mediterannean sea.

The ship was East India Ship GÖTHEBORG.

Venice

It is forbidden to feed the pigeons in St Marcus Sq.

There are too many of them. Irritating.

Most artists have painted Venice. Marvelous is 

Canaletto and of course Mr Turner too. 

Once Lis and I guided  two nice and gentle ladies there. 

One of them had only one and one

very important wish when being in Venice: 

to visit the bar, Harry´s bar. 

Arrigo Cipriani welcomed us as we 

sneaked in. He stood by the bar, by the door.

We got a round table on the second floor,

just by the window. Canal Grande 

just close.We had a couple

of Bellinis. I got a little bit tipsy. 

Another Bellini. 

The sun set. 

Silence.

I probably made a sketch or two. 

Three hours of my life was gone. 

I will always remember those hours.

Some years ago.

"I can understand how most of

the old inventions work.

But this little gadget ...."

Notice the old Macversion.

Or whatever.

A Happy Family? 

I might doubt.

Anyhow.

Here it is.

The Happy Family!

Today is Thursday.

I am leaning, well leaning? over a 

white challenging surface. And I realize: The sky 

is the limit, well limit? I check out and I am

waiting for the Friday to come.

And the Prosecco.

This is Margareta Krook.

A Swedish actor, marvellous. 

A character you probably would say. 

Einar Nerman, a Swedish artist once made

a caricature of Greta Garbo. I had

that picture in mind when doing this. 

A hairy signature. Like.

This is Fia.

There are many cats on the net. 

Now it is my turn to present one.

We had Fia for almost fifteen years. 

She was one of my favorite model.

I really miss her.

This is Bologna.

Visited the The Childrens Book Fair. 

Sat at Piazza Maggiore. 

Had a glass of Italian Wine.

Noticed the Corinthian pillar. 

Got inspired by the many children books

I had flipped through.

During a long day.

Made this picture.

Had a Strega and went home

to my Albergo.

Had another glass of wine

and fell asleep.

This is Mallorca. 

We are a gang of artists,

loving going to islands all over. 

Once a year, and we have done it

for many, many years.

From Manhattan to Sicily and Gotland. 

I did not want my latest post to be # 13. 

That´t the reason why this picture turns up.
