“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
And y’all hate on me? It was soooo bloody obvious to me even then that certain people knew much more than they were revealing. I challenged Scottish Restorian and she admitted. See above. And this happened WAY before the Ultimate Unveiling of him. It was said by someone who KNEW and was intimate with that […]

At the risk of sounding all hinkydinky and hippytrippy, I’ve always known that this was my last shot at this stuff. That the curtain would fall when I do. My only EVER truly desperate wish was to have children. And I have. I can go (when I go) happy and fulfilled. This is probably the […]

OK. I’ve actually done this on fabric. Silk, in fact. To make little flowers and leaves. ‘Snot difficult. Imagine the finest of fine silk stocking material dipped in liquid starch, shaped and left to dry. For centuries. Did the ancients also have the recipe for latex? Which is in FACT a natural by-product of many […]

For once, the TV series led me to the books. I adore John Thaw and Kevin Whately and this whole series. I’ve also read all of Colin Dexter’s books. This is the first book and the first programme. “The Dead of Jericho” is the first instalment of the Inspector Morse TV series starring John Thaw and Kevin Whately (as Detective Sergeant Lewis). Colin Dexter also […]

BTW, sweet reviewer below…Poirot is BELGIAN not French. FACT. And he’s always very annoyed when he’s called French. P.S. The image above is a quote from Death on the Nile. For ME, David Suchet IS Poirot.

Yesterday morning I had the usual flimflam with Tommy in Co-op. He asked me if I was going to watch Comic Relief. I said NO. But. But. But….it’s GOOD. Soz, Tom. NOT WATCHING. (I don’t have hours and hours free to watch BS.) I’ll just grab a few good bits. Like Nan vs Bond :o) […]

Marco Pierre White with a young Gordon Ramsay and Keith Floyd…Oh. Right. Yay. Eeerm. NO! False. Fake. Phoney. As per usual. Entice ’em in. WASTE their precious time and grab the viewer counts. M’eh.

Despite what you might think. This contempt, anger, disrespect, condemnation of my so-called peers of today is not a nasty, spiteful attack on a few individuals. It’s a professional SCREAM of Pure Frustration. Expertise in any subject is NEVER achieved. Expertise comes from a whole lifetime of learning and then more. Most TRUE & Honest […]

Sheesh. Photos, photos, photos. When the above could be done in the 17th century to an engraving…what the fluff can the they do today to any single photo uploaded on the internet?
