Or Germany could introduce a Bismarck note with
"The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood." I guess Russia will produce a similar note, maybe with a brainy quote from Stalin or something like that. Unfortunately the probably greatest quotes from the stone age have not survived, i guess that would be even more suited to be printed on money. Maybe like "Took woman in cave and splattered Og's head hehe"

Moira and I went to Sleaford today, to visit the much-vaunted National Centre for Craft & Design, hoping to find a venue where I might exhibit and sell my work. The main exhibition in this largely empty-looking place at the moment displays a load of old socks pegged to a washing line in one room, and a load of old socks pegged to a wall in the other. There was also a birds nest in a box with a bit of knitting stuffed into it and more little bits of knitting pinned alongside. I wished I'd been able to record in some way the preposterous, pretentious text 'explaining' this stuff... for this was Art with a big A. And we couldn't get out of there quick enough.
Sleaford itself was still grimy-looking and scruffy, with empty shops. Its narrow streets still choked with slow-moving traffic, it doesn't seem to have changed a bit in 30 years; when I learned about the prestigious NCCD centre, I'd expected to find the area much improved since our last visit some years ago, but any town where the banks are CLOSED ON A SATURDAY is a town going nowhere, and not a place where I'd be expecting to do much business. A disappointment all round.

^ Hah don't you love modern art!
There's currently the DOCUMENTA in Athens, and in Kassel from june on (split in two cities this time http://www.dw.com/en/documenta-2017-...ns/av-36944716). And while i do not like most of what is displayed or at least do not consider it as being "art" (does Joseph Beuys ring a bell), the international feeling and atmosphere during those days is always great and turns the city into a real metropolitan art center. I still like the city and its vast parks, usually arranged as english gardens from a long time ago. Will try to get there in june and suffer the usual disappointment regarding modern art lol

I guess, however, that in a place like this we can experience a certain escapism; it doesn't relate at all to the everyday... so there's the feeling that the artists behind it must lead a carefree, elevated existence, which we somehow can share for a brief time as we wander round.

A portrait of 'Hartley Hare' might be the most appropriate:

The master bedroom/final room to be decorated has had all of the furniture removed ready for the decorator tomorrow and finally, that should keep the boss lady happy for a little while.

What exactly is a decorator in GB?
Here it's some over paid person that would probably make my rooms into something that looked like a cave in the darkest part of Africa. |

We re-arranged our living room, removed and positioned shelves and dusted a felt million of books, our cat escaped outside fearing he'd get asthma from the clouds rising, which could be probably seen in London.
We have a dyson vacuum cleaner, it is the second one after the first one gave up after only a year (motor). We would have needed a hundred dust bags with an ordinary one. I obviously had forgotten i had that many submarine-related books, and my wife can now unfortunately estimate how much it really is

Today, as I got out of the car to leave the by-product
From a cold sparkling light alcoholic liquid, and look around and where is the fish from the high, the technique borrowed from movie Passion for angling, and beer I would add, I breathed deeply one, besides the others, with which the air has been strewn this season, thyme. The aroma of freshly blossoming thyme I call on my companions, you hurry, no hurry for the table, I'll get a bag Tomorrow, for the barbecue, I will debonate and put on a chicken, as with the skin,with thyme, garlic, oil, and so on. Well, no such taste..... |
