i'm a-pleasin' my sunshine

The best thing about being on holidays is not wearing a watch. You don't need to know the time you only need to know you have enough of it to do what you want, when you want; the day is yours for the taking and the laid back Spanish mentality is perfectly conducive for our daily wanton disregard of official time.


We went to Marbella for a wander around and roamed the streets with nothing more in mind than the probability of happening upon something interesting. We sat for hours in the middle of the Orange Square eating waffles, drinking beer, watching the world go by, then continued strolling on in no particular direction.


We came across a modern art gallery, or rather The Museum of Spanish Contemporary Engraving, where there was an exhibition entitled 'The Qatar Drawings' by Dutch artist Jan Hendrix. On a side note his work reminded me of the project my friend Una is working on at the moment based on the idea of brambles. You can see some of her drawings on her blog www.unamcmahon.wordpress.com
