Both Alans together!
It was lovely to take my portrait of Alan to the RAFA club yesterday, meeting up with 'the real Alan' again and to receive compliments and good-will from the other people who happened to be in the bar at the time.

' ... But anything to be written has to be, time and time again, begun from the start, and time and again attempted anew, until one day it succeeds at least approximately, if never quite satisfactorily. No matter how unpromising it is and no matter how terrible and hopeless, if we have a subject which time and again, and yet time and again, grips us with the utmost persistence and no longer leaves us alone, it should time and again be attempted. In the knowledge that nothing at all is certain and nothing at all is perfect, we should, even with the greatest uncertainty and with the greatest doubts, begin and continue whatever we have determined to do.'

Extract from 'Yes' by Thomas Bernhard
