DRAWING BOARD



This drawing board, now a terrifically old-fashioned item, was bought at an auction still in its original packaging; very seventies, pipe-smoking Cliff Richard lookalikes and all. What a find!

FLOOR TILES



Beautiful tiles adorn the entrance of a Woodstock art gallery, previously a pharmacy, reminding one of floors in Havana. Not that one has been to Havana, but one has a book about Havanese floor tiles, and one has seen movies about life over there.

WOODSTOCK SIGN WRITER



In Woodstock yesterday I met Celestin, who came to Cape Town from DRC about four years ago, while he was painting pictures on a new shop front. Quite cool, I thought.
