My wife and I iust had Chateubriand in Albufeira. Very nice it was too. The mustard sauce was a really nice accompaniment.
Then we went the equivalent of Blackpool trinket shopping, looking at every kind of Chinese carp you could think of
I like to dip my toes at both ends of the spectrum.

It's the ghastly stuff that makes local art shows worthwhile, in my view. It's incredibly rare that I see anything I like, but I often see stuff that is so bad that it amuses for a few seconds.

What do you paint?

Mmmm yeah... Though it's the time spent squinting at a piece and thinking "something's not quite right with that..."

I paint motorsport stuff and portraits in the main, and some sci-fi / fantasy type stuff.

Possibly the greatest example of bad art I've seen was an entire shop of it, thirty years ago. Now, apparently, sadly closed, only last year. I think the League of Gentlemen would have used it for inspiration.

I received an email just now telling me I’ve won summat on the Lottery.
Unfortunately, when I went to check what sort of bike I could buy, or possibly a p*ncture kit from Wilko, the site was down for maintenance!

I could be a millionaire

Morning. It has brightened up a bit from how it was earlier.

It is Lacock at War weekend. I'll be popping down there a bit later to have a look round.

Family gathering today, weather should hold, some coming up from that London place so they will probably feel the cold this far north!!

Another feck up to report. I've just poured the water out my pedal bin down the bog. Unfortunately it had a dishcloth in that was soaking in the bleachy water. I got my hand around the U-bend to see if it'd lodged,but it's gone down the waste pipe. I've flushed the toilet 3 times and so far there's no back up of water,but it might've lodged near the end of the waste pipe and the water might start backing up soon. I did this once accidentally with a duster years ago when living with Mrs Accy. The bog i blocked was our outside one,not the one in the bathroom,so it wasn't too bad,though the water took quite a while to go down. The problem is,if the bog here blocks up then the Housing Association will call out a drain cleaner who'll charge around £130,like he did the last time i blocked the bog about 4 month ago. The HA said if i did it again they'd pass the bill onto me to pay. I just hope the dishcloth has not got lodged! Pray for me folks!

I recall, many many years ago, losing my grip on a nappy I was, ahem, rinsing. That disappeared, never to be seen again.

I hope you two don't get together at anytime .

Sounds like he was to art what William McGonagall was to poetry.
