merry merry merry...

... and a little sleepy and possibly a little bit peckish, fer reals, is there anything else delicious we could eat??? Did we eat all the fishes and all the (no longer) free-ranging chickens and all of puddings and all the gingerbread and really ALL the pies?

YES WE DID.

Is there more beer? NO! But you found a bottle of Baileys (FOUND!) and now we will probably drink it. It's kind of still christmas. It tastes like christmas.

We are house-sitting the ranch up here in thornbury. Is nice. One question, why aren't there chickens to feed? I need a task and the cat is not so interested in the interlopers unless it's dinnertime...

going going almost gone

Just thought I'd take this belated opportunity to tell you all, it's your last chance to see Grow Wild tomorrow, Saturday from 12 til 6. I love it. Here is a little glimpse of why.

the slumps

We've been experiencing a severe case of post exhibition, post chutney club slumps. All week.
By we, I mean me.

What now? Um, other stuff, BUT who? why? and how will I ever afford it? Oh yeah, a new job I guess. Make stuff I guess. Unfortunately I don't really feel up to it.

I was struck down by the lurgy on Sunday evening, featuring fevers, pain and confusion. I don't think I've quite crawled out of that hole yet, despite a valiant effort to drink beer and be chipper on Wednesday night and a rally upon FINALLY sorting out my wheels yesterday, only for it to rain all day today foiling my plans to bike to all appointments in record time, instead schlepping about in wet shoes and a plastered raincoat.

Got home to drink tea and rum and climb into bed, waking up from precious sleep fearing someone was stealing the lovely new bike from the corridor.

Bastards!

They weren't.

Lucky.
