THE CHINESE MASTER SPY, CHAPTER 2 - SNAKE CREEPS DOWN, CHAPTER 3 - MONOCHROME PLOT

Some pages of the second chapter of the story "The Chinese Master Spy".

THE GREEN FISH, chapter 3

This story reads in the usual order of blog posts. It was interrupted here in 2007, after being published through Lulu in Costa 1 and Costa 2 . If you wait long enough maybe you will be able to read the final chapter.

HOME-MADE BREAD

6.48 AM. Breakfast bathed by the raising sun.

DE MÁLAGA, COM ARDOR

Encontrei estes desenhos num velho CD muito bem guardado (mas não tão bem preservado, só passando as imagens pelo Flash consegui que elas saissem aqui com a cor original), ainda do tempo em que estávamos em Málaga. O blog que eu escrevia na altura não tinha imagens.

HAIL AND THUNDER

Wind NNE 11 kph

Barometer 982 mb
