Here is my last sketch from my recent trip to Turks and Caicos – I overheard these ladies saying that they were all sisters…two more were to the right. I had to cut short my work in Turks and Caicos and head to the UK.

1104 – Sunny morning
Here is a view out the window from my apartment in Turks and Caicos, done sitting at the dining table looking out on a sunny Saturday morning.

1102 – Gon-ta nort
You can tell by this what I get up to some evenings – sketching and having a local beer. According to the label on the bottle, the name of this beer refers sailors travelling between islands and going to North Caicos (where there are fertile farm lands) to get fresh crab. Not sure how much sense that makes – but never mind the beer is nice!

1101 – Let’s try the after
I drew this one evening looking out of the window in my apartment. The title is from a new album by a band I love – Broken Social Scene – and I am getting excited because we are planning to see them play in the UK. It was trying hard to rain as I drew this – hence the stormy skies. Thank goodness it has been holding off enough for me to walk to and from my office.

1100 – Another shell
Here is an evening sketch of another shell that I found laying around in my Airbnb apartment. This one is a lot more complicated than the conch I drew the other day. Apparently this one is called a Giant Caribbean Triton Conch!

1099 – For the birds?
Here is a quick sketch from one evening. My landlady has left me some binoculars…for looking at the birds maybe?

1098 – Various chairs in the living room
This sketch was done as I whiled away a lazy Sunday afternoon, having stuffed myself at lunchtime. It was raining again on Sunday so the air was clear and fresh…not great for going out sketching though.

1097 – Just like home
When I drew this it was raining outside and humid. Outside is parked a black Honda Jazz – I could be at home! Without stating the obvious, that’s because we have a car just like this. Very kind of my landlady to let me use it on the weekend. On Friday at work the car park outside our office was like a lake.

1096 – Mangoes from Guatemala
The other day I bought mangoes…not the type I am used to in the Philippines, which are big and yellow. These ones are from Guatemala (relatively close to where I am I suppose) and red. They taste roughly the same – although these are more fibrous…I was picking mango fibres out of my teeth for hours after eating one!
