Richard Scott Weekly Blog - 19th April 2026

This week was fast and furious. I looked on my phone for photos to share and there is only the photos of me working on the pieces for Cape Diem Lodge. So, I will not bore you with all the mundane things I did this week. Probably going to be a record for the shortest blog.

See you there.

My dad sent me a pic of his mom, and we were talking last Sunday about family and grandparents.

My dad's mom Olive, 1914-1956. This photo was taken in 1940, and yes my dad did use AI to add colour.

I also don’t want to share the photos with you of the Cape Diem Lodge pieces as I want to complete about 12 in the series before we launch. I will share one of them with you.

I only went into town on Friday, that’s how busy I was in the studio with the new series. 

The rain started Friday and winter hit us over the entire weekend. I am sitting here in front of the fire, yes the annual fire is now lit, while there is a storm of note outside.

So, Friday I ran some errands around town. The usual ones. Then it was time to pick Joanne up and head home in the rain.

Saturday we chilled a bit and then went for lunch with Joanne’s brother Paul and Candice to celebrate Candice’s Birthday. After that we popped to the waterfront and got me some really needed t-shirts for the Sardinia trip. Then back home to watch a movie under the blanket.

Happy Birthday Candice.

Sunday was the same. Joanne cooked up a storm as we were having roast beef for Sunday lunch. I helped out a little, got the fire going and here I am typing to you.

Angelina sending me Camping photos. She was out in the rain with her friends camping for the weekend.

So that’s it for this week.

Thank you for reading and watching.
