What Are You Doing In Real Life II

[Catfish]

All the best, Glynn! Hope it's a good job

[Eichhörnchen]

Thanks, guys. It's a pretty ropey job but decent money... and the regular income will make a nice change.

I just got home and I've got my 3 days off now, so watch out

[Jimbuna]

New job for Glynn and a new car for me. I've gone right back in the power stakes expecting the arrival of a new Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost Titanium 5dr tomorrow.

I've decided at my age fuel consumption is now a primary consideration.

Fuel Consumption
EC Combined65.7 mpg
EC Extra Urban76.4 mpg
EC Urban52.3 mpg

Well for a failed artist I didn't do so bad... 37 years in the business and my paintings bought me a pension fund which paid off the mortgage and left a fairly good residue. But I can't justify drawing upon and depleting that when I've not yet reached pensionable age

Being an artist is all about getting the breaks: I've been lucky in having patrons who've paid me to paint continually, as well as much publishing work (greetings cards and collectors plates etc) but my last patron died just over a year ago and the publishing world has largely turned its back on the way things were done before... paying an artist to license his work... they think they can do it all on computers now

Oh I get it buy a car for your barrels of gun powder, good idea Jim after all you want go get the job done right. :

Speaking of job as in work I will be off to work latter today doing my bit for Queen and country unlike some a Eich.

[Eichhörnchen]

Just got an email to say I've sold another Lancaster... this one was in the gallery for no more than a fortnight & is the third one that's gone over the past month... the old boy who got it for his retirement present just rang me to say how pleased he is with it

I seem to have been right to combine larger size, lower price and popular local icon to get a sale, but I couldn't produce enough of these in a week to earn what I'm now getting pushing a broom around

"Milling about smartly" (looking busy pushin' a broom)is an art form in itself.
