Tea Towel


A present I gave to one of my loveliest friends: Caroline when she got married. I basically painted six tea towels with six different artists' impression of Caroline and Joe - had they painted them. I did this one: Klimt and Miro, Munch, Van Gough, Kandinsky and another I cannot remember.

    I like the hand tickling the chin.

    I like the idea of a Dali tea towel - maybe that was the one you forgot?

    They sell really nice blue check ones in Jarrolds. Would have saved you a lot of trouble.

    A unique Jarrolds-less one from a unique person is much better. Well done Molly P.

    It's got to be a ladies thing, but still very clever!

    Robyn - why thank you
    Eric - sadly I think that has long since be lost. Really can't remember the other one even though I squeezed my brain trying to pop out the memory
    J.J. - it was received well although this was the only one that got framed - she actually USED the other ones!!
    Carol - thank you. I'm lucky to have Caroline as a friend - she os one of those truly special and lovely people!
    Codgi - thank you. I think some of the others actually got burnt in the kitchen!
    Mark - it might be hard to do two people Dali style and not insult them!!! or think you're wishing dark things upon them!!!
    Claire - I know I know - I do go to too much bother.
    Ken D - thank you - just ignore my sister's irreverence!!!
    Blu - welcome
    GOK - perhaps not 'ladies' just not everyone's cup of tea!

    That's the most tea towel commentary I have ever indulged in. Felt quite 'milked'

Breaking the blog spell...

My beautifully captivating and mesmerising big sister cast a spell on me. It was a spell that would make me sit in up in the clouds and write a blog every single day...mostly for her benefit - as she dutifully and kindly read and commented on each one. Being easily coaxed into most things and liking the idea of a blog meant this spell was fine...for a while. Then.....I was sitting minding my own business (I look quite funny when I do that - most people do) when a huge green common-sense elf wearing red hotpants came and waved his wand at me declaring, "Writing a blog every day when you work full time, have two youngish children and a million projects on the go at any one time, is a little silly. You can waffle on and on about just about anything and do have about forty draft blogs saved ready to run, but it's probably best you aim more for quality than quantity and only write about slightly more fully formed ideas! After all, less IS more." I was released -although I fear...

51 quirky features of Norwich Cathedral that you can go and find

Image
I have always loved Norwich Cathedral as it is beautiful and atmospheric. But it turns out that it is also loaded with a hotchpotch of history as building started in 1096. The more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become. So here are my recommendations for what to look out for should you ever visit the cathedral. 1) The Elizabethan grave of Thomas Gooding Thomas was a mason of the cathedral. He paid a fair amount of money to be buried upright because he believed this would give him an advantage come judgement day. At the base of his memorial is a typical of its time, poignantly death-focused inscription: 'All you that do this pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am so shall you be Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement day' If you look at the skeleton, you will see there is poor knowledge of anatomy. 2) The grave of the baby that died before she was born . I have been told that this is be...

Anal Retention Test

Image
I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b...
