Spoke on the phone to my mum this morning. It's a bit odd, not having her around all the time. Seems like I'm calling her every other day to make up for it. Maybe I'll fly her out here for a week or so. She's hardly been out of London let alone out of the country. Might do her a bit of good.

I've recently tried looking into more modern artists. Not the Modernist movement, but contemporary artists. I've turned my attention to Nicola Samorì, who does what they're calling Dark Baroque.

I find myself connecting with the work he does. The references he makes to classical painting, and the way he unpacks the conventions of Baroque art and turns them into his own. Showing them inside out.

It's fascinating. This piece I'm particularly drawn to.

Brexit has my parents arguing. My mum is firmly on the stay side and my dad wants Britain to leave. I've claimed to have no opinion whatsoever so neither of them think I'm taking sides. It's amazing watching the tallies, though. I never thought so many people would vote to leave.

So alright, here's this thing then. My brother Reg reckons it'll be good for publicity, and my therapist says it'd do me some good to socialize and the like. Though I am not sure I am very good for publicity, in general.

I am Ronnie Kray, me and my brother run a couple clubs up in London, and he wanted to bring it over to America. So I said why not California, right? And he said yeah, why not. And here we are.

I think that is about all. Lovely to meet everyone.

Christ, I hate networking online So this is where everyone around here goes, is it? Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned but I can't ever get a hand of anything on the internet. Nobody likes meeting people in person anymore, it seems.

Right, then. My name's Reggie. I just moved here with my brother, Ronnie. We've never been in this part of America before but it looks to be all right. We'll be opening up a club out here soon enough, once it all gets remodeled. If anyone's looking for a job, we've still got some staff what needs filling.
