Tea? (Part 2)

[twentysix by twentyfive]

But this is my favourite. Do you ever wish you could get this involved with your dinner?

Sadly for me I'm of an age where it won't be too long and I'll be like that at mealtimes again

Oh - and the tart making, - did you bring some back for us?
Or did those laces trip you up and the tarts got spilled

(OK, so tea is mostly experienced through the nose

What like when you have a mouthful, and someone makes you laugh?

But yes, you're right. Sometimes it just hits the spot.

I'm glad people like the Max pic, it was a very lucky shot. It rivals the pic of Oli after the chocolate buttercream topped bun I have as my current desktop picture.

The jam tarts all got eaten I'm afraid. Very nice they were, raspberry jam. They were an accident really - my sister defrosted two lots of pastry by mistake instead of one for the Homity Pie*.

Welcome back Phil, whereabouts did you get to?

I hope the shoulders ease up Hulver. Keep thinking about the dark side...

Um, am I missing something about the bears?

*A lovely vegetarian pie of potato, leek and cheese, habitually served in that household improved by the addition of sausages...

I thought this was the way to tie shoe laces.

Very often my shoe laces come un done and then I tie then up on one side. Admittedly on the left for the right shoe and vickey the other way round for the left shoe.

He tried very hard to do a knot, twisting the laces round and round, before deciding it waw easier just to thread one end back through the eyelet. His dexterity has come on so much - it's 6 months since I saw him. And when he paints or draws now, it's real things, instead of just kinetic scribbles. Ok, it's not always obvious what they are but once told, you can see how they resemble the thing.

Bless him, he did a 'night time' scene on the back of an old envelope - sort of negative, because it was black felt tip on white paper. There was a circle - the moon, dots - the stars and a whooshy line - a rocket. Later he was watching tv, and In the Night Garden came on, which starts with a starry sky image. Oli looked at it very closely, and then went and looked at what he'd drawn, and said sadly to his Mum that it wasn't very good. Needless to say, she disagreed.

I have his 'Bumblebee' framed on my wall, next to my poster of Stubbs' Whistlejacket. (proud smiley)

Somehow somewhere I saw a copy of a drawing that had been made "negative" (not sure of the technonomological word) so that a drawing of black on white looked like it was night-time. Peeps on this thread with a scientific bent (?) might have a vague idea wot I am talking about.


btw I do like the emoticon very much, do tell me if I use it too often, won't you?

Yeah, I like it too.



I think most photoediting programmes will negativize (surely not a real word) a picture, so it ought to be possible to create a night scene that way.... It would be clever to do it well, get the shading right etc...

What's all the news and gossip here, then?

Oh, I did a little ride on the trike. See my last two blog entries....

 

[BrumJim]

Um, am I missing something about the bears?

Type "Bear" and "Courgette" into your favourite search engine. Add "Montana" if you really want to be sure.

 

[Arch]

Ah. NOW I understand...

Bear + courgette must surely have been a googlewhack until this story occurred. I guess we'll never know now.

Damn. Missed that night ride! And I'm going to miss SoM this weekend. Burger.

AGGGGHHH Bloody internet.. been up and down today like the proverbial whores draws excuse my French!
Amazing how much the internet effects ones work these days isn't it?

Anyone for a cuppa and a couple of biccies (no pink wafers as the chap who used to put them in the biccy barrell has now left)

There's a YACF night ride planned for the end of October, to Whitby. I'm going to bung a thread about it in Informal Rides. Apparently it's Goth Weekend in Whitby, and (on an unrelated topic) my journey back may be partly by steam train.

YACF, Goth AND Steam Trains - careful Arch. Don't say you weren't warned

Ooooh! What do you think will happen? Brief Encounter with black nail varnish?

Someone will be playing Rachmaninov's Concerto while you are climbing the stairs at the Railway Station.
