8. The Squatters Residency: crispy fried eggplant Nok style

​An unplanned trip took me out of the Squat today again.  It did enable the loveliness of seeing family again, but in the same breath, it is good to come back here to drawing and painting by myself.  There is some talk of extending the residency a little (alongside some repair work here) and a possible return too.  I have my hand up so high.
 
Dinner at the bowlo with some locals meant Nok’s yummy crispy fried eggplant was on my menu and then Harrie and Bird were in for a studio visit.  She generously suggests extending my current drawing - like I had my other large ones when drawing as part of Fran O’Neill’s drawing marathon recently.  Thanks Harrie.
 
As I head off to sleep, I say goodnight to my bed friend favourites in the peeling paint of this space that I love.
