Bridget’s school had an exhibition of artwork by all the pupils this weekend at one of the many cultural centres that dot our landscape. They had on display a rather smeary red and yellow work by her with the caption:

Bridget

Kort, hevig en intens
Zo werk ik
Zo schilder ik

Briefly and intensely [hevig and intens are synonyms]
That’s how I work
That’s how I paint

We all went to look at it, though Bridget herself lost interest fairly rapidly and I took her outside. Ursula has now fallen asleep and we will now go to bed.
