New paintings and regular art updates.
You’d think they were brothers
A single mom?
But no, they are not
Two mums, not one.
Each boy cat is happy
One is fat
He’s big and he’s round
He stays on the mat,
The other is older
On a bag, flat!
My other cats female,
Much more aloof
She’d rather be sitting
Up on the roof!
Describe a family member.
So how to do describe a family member? The wrinkles on their face? Their hair colour, skin colour, other physical attributes? Height, weight, hairstyle, glasses or not.
Faces are square, firm jawed, soft skinned, made up, lipstick, mascara. Eye colour, hair colour.
Musical, artistic, crafty, cook, reader, tidy scruffy or normal?
Add a few of these as a combination…
Arthritic, short, hairy, smiling, vegetarian, rock chick?
Or balding, bearded, blue eyed, tall, scruffy, and a mechanic.
A person may describe me in one way, someone else in another. Without facial recognition would you recognise me from my description? How many other people fit the discription?
My family members will remain hidden from the Internet. Because I don’t want to share. I think that’s fair enough.
Time for cream to celebrate, on mince pies, trifle and pud. With brandy added or sugar, it’s got to make it good.
On chocolate hot, or a steaming pot of coffee with some whisky. Cream is such a delightful treat, when it’s single, double of whisk-ed.
Add a bit to soups and sauces, give a drop to fruit and berries, savour its flavour in cocktails too. It all depends what you do!
No one tells you as you lose weight how saggy and baggy you can get, the weight goes but your skin doesn’t shrink overnight. I have lost a lot over the last three years and now I feel like a half empty balloon! I’m flabby and I need to shrink!
I get into my clothes and everything seems to distribute evenly, but there are bulges I don’t like. Maybe I should get a corset? That’s what my mum and grandmother wore. Does anyone remember liberty bodices? I had to wear one when I was young. Thicker than a vest with clips for stockings, I think it was to get girls used to corsets. Luckily I grew out of it and got vests instead.
I know why I’m not ‘ toned,’ because my job was too sedentary, and being an artist I still do a lot of sitting down. I need more exercise.
