    Hi Rod, Glad that you are back.

    Hi Rod, the 'old' Rod Summers page is still there:

    http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/RodSummersVEC

    You just used a different name there. So all photos and videos you uploaded are still there. You are now the proud owner of two accounts on IUOMA! Have fun.

    Hi Rod, Yeah those bloody weeds, don't seem to mind the cold.
    But today is a nice day. Did a lot of work in the garden this weekend. Stained the pergola and the hammochholder again. cleaned the terrasses and the paths and the driveway with the high waterpressure and cleaned the waterwell. and now I'm broken. hihihi. But it is nice to have these things out of the way before the real good weather comes. Many seedlings awaiting a permanent spot. Tomatoes, lettuce etc. Let the sun shine in..

    How are you, dear friend,
    yes, I occasioned me much work but, finally, I could teach to kick drops to Ogara and, you saw, we won unbeaten the 6 Nations. I suspended the communications by SKYPE because the computer is disconnected continually. I am sorry...!

    LIMITE, SCAMBIO, SEGNO
    LIMIT, EXCHANGE, SIGN
    A tribute for the city of Portogruaro through a project involving art through mail. The keywords chosen as the theme are the motif of its foundation, joined in a common flow.

    Limit
    border between earth and water,
    the river harbor and the trade routes,
    the channels and the gardens of the palaces,
    a constant reference to a change in system, material and colour.

    Exchange
    not only of goods but also of colours and scents,
    artistic and architectural influences,
    mutual knowledge, therefore culture.

    Sign
    a condition of consent expressed in gesture, the conclusion of an agreement,
    a trace superimposed on many others:
    whose meaning is beyond the sum of the parts.

    Project by Rizoo Group, Tiziana Baracchi and Pro Loco di Portogruaro
    Format and dimension of work:
    square of maximum size 21 X 21 cm
    No e-mail

    No returns, no jury, no fee, no sales

    Exhibition in Portogruaro, 2010

    Hi Rod! Thanks for the Off the Wall Card; it is VERY enigmatic (but I'm not sure about the Crumnaut bit). It baffled me. And my cats. The latter will mail you a card back tomorrow.

    See ya in Maastricht.
