New paintings and regular art updates.
Finishing off my trifle. Sugar free jelly with fresh raspberries. Blancmange with sweetner, cream on top! Yum!
I only make it for special occasions, my sister has been to visit so it was a treat for her. It’s refreshing and tasty. Not overly sweet, with fresh fruit rather than trifle sponges that can be too sugary.
Comfy, with lots of leg room. The cat has found a soft spot. A good, cat king size sofa!
Snuggled up on crochet blankets, there would be space for five or six cats at least, but he’s king of the castle, top of the tree, so relaxed. I wish I could be so settled. I’m jealous of his comfort, but I’ll let him be. X
Marigolds in a bag, something seems to have broken the flowers off. I’ve got to get them planted but yesterday the rain fall was stupendous. Today the weather was better, but I am very tired. Tomorrow could be the day they get planted. Meanwhile, the forecast is for more rain and cold winds coming from the north. June seems to be below par for the time of year. But I’m determined to get my garden looking good instead of full of overgrown weeds!
You might not live in the UK but anyway I thought I’d share this. You never know who’s reading this!
Roll up roll up! Would you like to send in a script? Three minute plays needed (2 sheets of A4) for up to four voices. In aid of the Penkhull Mystery Plays. We are holding the Harpers Titchy Theatre on 6th July 2024, at Penkhull Village Hall,Penkhull,Stoke-on-Trent. X
If humans had taglines, what would yours be?
What a question! Taglines are used as short snappy phrases to sell things through advertising. So is this prompt suggesting we should advertise ourselves?
Mine could be “confused and chaotic”, but would that give people a full picture of my real personality. I guess taglines could be like the “What three words” app. As every three meters square is located on the planet, it means that a house can have multiple words to define it’s location. It’s up to the user to choose which ones they want to use.
My three words could be:
HARP APPLE DEVELOPMENT
ALGAR EVENT SUNSHINE
BEVEL CRUTCH DOSES
SCAN FOOT DOMED?
By the time you’ve gone all through them, disliked them, wished they could be changed, you’ve forgotten what you were choosing them for?
So my tagline will be something random
MILDEW SCORCH FERVENT!
Small abstract swirling wave pattern I gifted to someone last year. She has it on display. I don’t remember it being so metallic but it may be the lighting she has used.
I had some modelling paste that I used to build up the surface and make an impasto effect before painting over it. I guess it could crack if it was bumped or knocked. I do love experimenting.
I managed to capture this image of the new moon last night about 10.30 pm British Summer Time. I don’t know how I managed to hold the camera still enough to get a reasonably sharp image. I haven’t adjusted it in any way.
Cherry Scone with jam and cream.
Tasty treat makes me beam!
But how do you pronounce this fodder?
Which pronunciation is odder?
Call it a scone?
Once eaten it’s gone!
Call it a scone?
To rhyme with stone?
But surely that’s fake?
It’s then a rock cake!
I wasn’t driving last night so I had a small gin and lots of tonic. But when the drink came it had a sprig of rosemary in it along with the ice. It was delicious, tasty, refreshing. I had the glass topped up with more tonic water. It was very delicious.
I liked the look of the crystal cut glass so took a photo of it. I don’t take many photos of food and drink but I just liked the image. I might play around with it in photodirector.
I loved these weird images of cats on this post on Facebook. It’s too funny not to share. It might disappear in a few weeks because I don’t have enough memory for all the images I use and regularly delete photos when I get a media full message.
