So I am in TOTAL shock by Steve Irwin's death, oh my god it's just awful and such a waste of a fun, humane, silly, and extremely brave man. I used to LOVE watching the Crocodile Hunter on Animal Planet and I'm sure that the whole of Australia right now is in deep shock. Apparently he was attacked and killed by a Stingray on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Well maybe it's a comfort for him that he died doing the job he loved, but he leaves a wife and a little one behind....very sad.
Ok so happy Labour Day everybody, well if your American of course. So for you back in Blighty, let me enlighten you on the actual meaning of today....

Annual holiday devoted to the recognition of working people's contribution to society. It is observed on the first Monday in September in the U.S. and Canada. It was first celebrated in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882, under the sponsorship of the Knights of Labor. Various U.S. states observed the holiday before 1894, when Congress passed a bill making Labor Day a national holiday. It is often celebrated with parades and speeches, as well as political rallies, and the day is sometimes the official kickoff date for national political campaigns in the U.S. In most other countries, workers are honoured on May Day.

Ok? there you go, dead friggin boring.... BUT you must remember that from today onward wearing white especially here in Manhattan is a HUGE NO NO......
So this weekend myself and Stephen have basically been working on the upcoming show. He is painting his last piece to go in the show right now...(he's behind me) while I'm sending out email postcards to everybody we know in the world regarding the show, even if they live in Tokyo. Hey they can at least check out his website and see what's new etc.
Ok so I may as well put the postcard on this site right? I mean free advertising and all that, so here it is in all it's glory and of course if you do find yourself in or around Redbank, New Jersey weekend of September 16 then PLEASE pop by and have a glass of crappy wine and stale cheese and come say hi, hey it's gonna be a great evening, and we'll be there...so why wouldn't you wanna come?

Right then well we both still have a lot to do today, so I'm going to get on, actually I really want to get some postcards mailed out as well today, as we have like 300 of them and they are doing absolutely NO GOOD sitting on our dining room table. Then after that I really want Stephen to move some furniture around and sort out now very small bedroom out as it's doing my head in.
Have a great day today everyone, and I'll speak to y'all tomorrow
Later
