Thankyou everyone,I love you all.

All this serenading has brought on an attack of the vapours, and I have taken to the chaise longue. Smelling salts please, doctor.   <limp wrist on forehead emocion>

I feel very honoured to have received THREE kisses from George,  how gorgeous!  Kiss  Kiss  Kiss
I have got over the hegehog incident now, thankyou.

FYI;

Quote
LEYSTER, Judith
Dutch paintress (b. 1609, Haarlem, d. 1660, Heemstede)

Dutch painter of genre scenes, portraits, and still-life, probably a pupil of Frans Hals in Haarlem, where she spent most of her career (she also worked in Amsterdam). In 1636 she married Jan Miense Molenaer, with whom she shared a studio, using the same models and props. Leyster was one of Hals's best followers and her work has sometimes passed as his, an example being the Lute Player in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Her monogram includes a star, a play on 'Ley/ster' (lode star).

The similarity to the style of Frans Hals was the first thing that struck me although I don't think the scans do justice to the colours. I believe many Dutch painters of the period painted as a secondary career (or perhaps supported themselves with a secondary career while painting).

The fog....

It's rolling in as off the sea.
But there's not a coast line that near to the house and it doesn't smell right to be a sea mist.

It rather brings down the mood.
Time for some music by which to cook...

Thank you Kitty, Judith Leyster could be with us on board because she obviously loved music. There are many paintings of musicians by her.
I can grumble that I don't know enough about anything.
We had no fog today. I planted two berry bushes and I am tired from digging two halls. One is a black currant bush and one is gooseberry bush. I also planted some herbs. I will grumble is they will not survive. I am off to another room for now.

If you want grump...I've got grump, grump NAY, THRICE GRUMP!!!!!

I submitted an article to the Press about my sand problem and they came and took photos etc.  I've just been informed it's been sent to the national press and has been accepted - which is good re. the sand of course - but....


IT IS THE WORST PHOTO OF ME I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I LOOK LIKE KATE BUSH'S GRANDMA!!!!

Cry    Cry    Cry    Cry     Cry    Cry    Cry    Cry    Cry    Cry    Cry  Cry  Cry  Cry Cry Cry
It's awful.  I've never been photogenic.  My mother who is a pensioner, is very photogenic and manages to look about 35 on any photo.  Me?  I look dreadful.  So if any of you do see it, little Milly is actually a lot better in real life.

Honest.

"Admire" is what you won't be doing unfortunately.  Sad

Still never mind it's highlighted the sand problem.  It's in the local rag here but I'm not going to say which nationals it might appear in, in case they change their minds and don't use it. 

It is a totally embarrassing picture.   I'm pulling a face, my hair is blowing all over the place and the photographer made me put my leg up on a heap of sand to show how deep it was....scary!  Shocked

Kate Bush used to live next door (albeit half a mile away) to me in Kent years ago, tho I never caught sight of her Granny.

When she moved away our cat went too, we believe. She obviously had more expensive Kit-e-Kat than we did...cats are so naughty.

Millie, how could it be that we could miss out on your moment of fame ? We are your friends - please post the link of the newspaper when poss.

Thanks Jan, but they may decide it's yesterdays news after all the coverage a couple of weeks ago by the media and on tv.  If it is published, I might let you know - but it really is an AWFUL picture!  Shocked

 Angry I am Moaning Minnie again  Angry
After finding that one of the cats had done the unthinkable on one of the kitchen counters I have laid strips of masking tape to make walking on the affected surfaces awkward. While I was doing that I was summoned by a [CRASH]-Yell! combination to find that two boxes of books had been knocked off the shelf in the bedroom, and the glass in a picture frame broken.

I love cats. I really do. But not in bulk.
