Here's my friend Tom Jeppe showing me one of his paintings about to be in the exhibition Exercise In Sophistication at Utopian Slumps (October 2011).

 And here's his door in the gallery, surrounded by his co-exhibitor Caleb Shea's sculptures.

       This guy was out the front of mine and Sheena's place holding a tissue to his
       forehead. I thought it may have been sweat from his brow he was attending to.
       The next morning I realised he must have been bleeding.

       An amazing thing about coming back was being able to see big changes
       in my friends' lives. One of my best and oldest friends Bim had a baby girl
       with her man Jason. This is little Leo with Bimmy on Gertrude Street.

       Traffic.

       September 23, 2011, back in Melbourne.

       Back to my mum's place.

       Saw this car on my way to getting a haircut.

       Visited my pal Dan Price in his studio.

       Went for a walk with him and saw this abandoned place.

       And finally took a photograph of this great painting by Mike Brown,
       which I had seen and enjoyed for years.

       London.

       Before heading back to Australia, we decided to spend a couple of days in London,

       visiting sweet Marawa, who showed us a wonderful time.

       Bless you, Maz. 

 Marawa was also heading to Melbourne, about twelve hours prior to us. 

Here she is wrapping her hoops for transportation.

One of the hardest working women in showbiz.

 I stared at these bricks for ages.

       We recycled Marawa's busted hoops by playing large scale hookey.
       Thanks Sheenie for the photos.

       Doing my best.

       Someone else's success.

       Being a huge Harry Potter fan, Sheens had to track down this infamous platform.
