Whiskers
Your whiskers are lovely
Your personality?
Bubbly…
Come say hello
With a loud miaow!
Cat with cattitude?
A great attitude.
Attempting to sniff
And find out, what if?
I have a tasty snack,
for your tea!
Button bowl
I got this last year. Its a bowl constructed of buttons stuck together with PVA adhesive. It was made by a friend who used a bowl as a form to make its shape. The only thing is that it has deformed slightly because it was pushed into by another object.
I like her choice of colours and the way you can see the gaps between the buttons. I don’t think it will last forever. Perhaps it will turn into a forlorn heap of buttons, but it’s OK for now.

At Art Lunch, February.
Art lunches are happening once a month now. While I was there I drew a couple of visitors, my teacup and the tiny teapot that went with it, and also the view out of the kitchen of my friends house.
Art lunch is the opportunity for local artists and creative people to get together and talk about their art and network, or maybe just chat and relax.
Had a lovely time. X
More rehearsals
More rehearsals today for the panto, we ran through the whole thing today, adult and children’s cast acting together. We also got to use the stage which was good. It gives you an idea of where you will be. What side of the stage to come on. Whether you will knock into another cast member as you dance across the stage.
Just hang on, yes I did say “dance”. We have had a choreographer involved this year. People are being carried on shoulders and doing knee spins and…. We’ll it’s exhausting to look at. I’m glad I’m right at the back, I’m not nimble on my feet anymore.
Three weeks to go… Help!
Quiz
What a long day…
After a bad night’s sleep I was involved in helping at the quiz to raise funds for the Penkhull mystery day in July this year.
Over seventy people came to the quiz in the village hall. It was fun. For once the splits in politics were put on the back burner and we just had to concentrate on the answers to the questions.
I can’t remember them, but I do remember some of the answers (we didn’t get them all right).
Lithium,
Henry VI,
Blue Peter,
Usain Bolt,
Coventry City,
Nepal and China.
I’ll let you guess what the questions were. They were grouped in subjects like highest, longest, biggest……..
There were chip butties in the break, a bar, and a raffle. Basically it was a good laugh…
Spock drawing
A few years ago I was on a website called Sketchfu which eventually closed
It had very simple tools to draw with but I enjoyed drawing all sorts of portraits, including Lord of the Rings characters. I put a lot of them on here a year ago. But my favourite is Spock from the original Star Trek series. He was not easy to draw but I think I got a good representation. The little pink face in the background was the icon for Sketchfu. I do miss it. It was a great site but it was difficult to communicate with the site owners even though I was a Moderator on there. I can’t believe how long it is since it closed.
Robbie Burns songs.
After singing ‘Green grow the rashes o’ by the Scottish author and musician Robert Burns, we started learning a new song at choir tonight. It’s called ‘Ay waukin o’. It’s not about walking, but about waking or being awake. Not being able to think because of thinking of her dearie.
The melody is beautiful, rising and falling in sweet harmonies. Singing about lanely (lonely) night. Everyone else sleeping, and she sings ‘and bleer my eyes wi weepin’.
So beautiful. Its music I’ve never heard before, I’m pleased we are learning it.

Dance like there’s no tomorrow..
The 64 million artists January challenge today was to post some music and an image on the theme ‘dance like there’s no tomorrow’.
My problem is I still have a sore hip and I don’t really have a music collection.. What to do? I asked my hubby to dance… Lots of laughter and this photo. I’ve cropped it so he cannot be identified….

Stoke Sings choir festival.
Sixteen Choirs, including the Deaf links Choir and the Intertheatre choir got together in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent today at the Victoria Hall. The reason? It was a splendid Choir festival for choirs around Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire.
Workshops on sea shanties, music from the shows. Gospel singing and African music were some of the wonderful things we learnt. The teachers were so enthusiastic and so we’re we as pupils. Then later we learnt a new song to sing at the Finale.
There was a concert in the evening when all the choirs performed. An eclectic mix of Bond themes, a song from sister act, old songs by Robbie Burns because it is Burns night tonight. Lots of beautiful melodies and friendly people. Finally we sang auld land syne and said farewells to new friends. A grand day out.
