Don’t some people get more than a fair share of illness!
Hope your friend responds to treatment, Caroline.
I quite like tourist posters,the Railway ones of the thirties and forties.
No real perspective ,blocks of colour ,but cheerful and effective .
One artist in particular, but name escapes me.
Bought myself a book ,the work of Gustave Klimt.
I love his “ Gold Period” and intricate patterns.
I remember an exhibition of Van Gogh’s works in Gent, gosh, the paint was soooo thick!
By comparison, his charcoal drawings of Belgian peasants were so sombre.
The faces ,caricatures ,of the peasants or they were a really ugly lot!
We used to play “ Brueghel faces” ,sitting outside having a coffee ,watching passers by ,we would see people who could have stepped from a Brueghel painting .
Strong features ,and often very unattractive.
Perhaps they played English faces!
I bought a new double bed when I moved here with storage drawers for bed linen.
I ought to have asked for castors ,it came with gliders ,but has bedded down on the new carpet.
I can’t move it at all,so lying on the floor and trying to vac under it with the tube attachment is the best I can do.
I will look tomorrow to see if when the drawers are removed I can get to the floor .
Can’t you tell when a man has designed something ———I expect replies now
Well electric blanket time ,a hot milk and note out for milkman ,then bed with a fiendish crossword in the “ History” magazine.
I won’t finish it!
