CHANGE OF FORTUNE

What a miserable figure I must be sitting here totally alone in a Thai resataurant with a heavy heart and a 'fuck you selfish using prick' running through my head.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY

I sat next to a girl dinner last night and she has had sex with a women. I
asked her what it is like to eat a girl out. She told me that after getting
over how gross it is, it is much easier than giving a guy a blow job. She
said that basically with a girl, it is like having a giant smooch for a
while. Where is with a guy it can be be really hard work and become really
mechanical and monotonous. Interesting! Can't say though that I'm gonna try
it out any time soon. The only pussy I wanna get near is Hobart and her cute
little face.

CHANGES IN ARCHWAY

My weekend of partying was not off to a good start when I fell asleep on the sofa 'just having a quick lie down'. I hope Naked Colour was a banger. Then I woke up with the start of a massive migraine anyway - non hangover so not fair! I would have liked the opportunity to have downed a few Blue Curacaos and lemonade for that. So took massive pain killers and after tidying before my new cleaner arrives today and going for a walk seems to have done the trick. Dora called to change the time on her first day! Bad!! My breakfast is here - the point of this post. Gtg. More later.

PERFECT BOWS

Viera Gergel'ova, 1972, illustration for Puf a Muf by Natasa Tanska, originally uploaded by A Journey Round My Skull.

I have some holidays coming up soon and funnily enough, I have discovered there is the 22nd Biennial of Illustrations in Bratislava. Whether I make it or not I don't know but I would love to go and take a look at old books and maybe there is a flea market selling them. This also looks interesting.

I already have some time taken up by going to Nantes to see my freants Eva and Puyo Puyo. Puyo asked me to bring a CD of the tracks I have been listening to lately. I told him to watch out because I have been listening to a lot of Aboriginal music lately. Not pleased. This is the guy remember who has the collection of 7" record sleeves that are "Sets Of Three"











And it was also the first time I ate oysters hand fed to me by Felix Kubin, which would have been quite romantic if I had liked the oysters. All I could do was imagine the oysters swimming around like the time I empties the blocked drains in my bathroom full of hair and globby toothpaste caught in it all grey and slimey.

So how I got from two beautiful cats with the most beautiful bows in the grass to that I don't know.

Anyway I hope you all have a lovely day as I am determined to do so.

I can understand why you were taken by the Ferret, There is something attractuve about the way she looks into the world, if you know what I mean? Let's hope she pisses off the first horny tom that tries to give her a bellyful? Is your accommcdation big enough for ten more? ONY JOKIN. yOU COULD MAKE HER A PAIR OF CANVAS JEANS, IMPERVIOUS TO tOM'S ADVANCES.GLUE THEM ON AROUND THE WAIST WITH A CAT FLAP AT THE BACK WHICH YOU CAN DETATCH AND WATCH WHILE SHE GOES ABOUT HER FUNDEMENTAL BUSINES?I really (could strangle Caps Lock on occasion.)
The 13th day isn't a bad day for me. Things go radically wrong on the 14th. I detest the 14th.If things aren't right on the 14th they go wrong double barrelled(whatever that means?) How often do you read yer Email? I'm getting the daily habit, because I am afraid I might miss something interesting or even you have overcome the wallpaper hatw, and booted up? You're a MUST read!
Ithink I'll have to enquire about non-religious living. The Sal Army staff are quite stupidly full of piddling bible study crap. Then she, the CAPTAIN accuses me of knowing too 'DAM' much about the bible.
I asked her the other day. "If God made Adam and Eve WHO SIRED cAIN AND aBLE and cAIN SLEW ABLE WITH AN ASSES ARSE BONE AND THEN GOT MARRIE? who .t.f.TO? Ted Garner SAYS HIS SISTER. tHAT'S NOT MENTIONED IN THE bIBLE ANYWHERE. Ted Garner is an American Evangelist like our Billy Graham. Full of witty psycho babble and leave the money in the plates provided.
Driving you mad Kiddo? I guess you're prolly saying to yourself" the old man is full of the brown stuff?
\ Spose I had better let you talk to the Feral? She'ld prolly make more sense?Meeeiow. Luv ex yer pa. Don't you find typing after shagging about a mobile sequence of letters difficult? The position of the letters on a keyboard differ radically from the mobile positioning
Such is mate. Take care. Thanks again for the upgrade on the mobile, most welcome, but don do it again because it costs you a hell of a lot more to live than me.cheers mate.

AFTERNOON TEA

Afternoon Tea, originally uploaded by Lektrogirl.

I was having a great time anticipating eating my little scones this afternoon with the best jam in the world. My mother did tell me on the phone in hushed tones "You don't want scones do you? They are fattening!" Which means "In the last pictures of you I saw you looked like a fucking house."

Anyway despite the dampers of my mothers low opinion of me, I went forth determined to savour my afternoon tea [who am I kidding, it was lunch time.]

I turned my back to get a spoon and low and behold:



THE FERRET had her eye on it as well. Oh well. The scones with jam were still very nice. "Confiture de Madame" is rosehip flavour and totally banging.

I want to say how proud I am of this picture. It is an Ultimate Babe shot!! It is from the day last week when Cards and I went to The Dorchester and stuffed ourselves on cake. SO GOOD. Actually I might make some scones today to see if I remember how. Although I have been warned that Cards' scones are meant to be something else.





The best part was when we got asked if we wanted a glass of Champagne and Cardinal went straight for the cocktail menu. I can always count on her for something fun.

SHIT LIST

Everyone who loves me thinks that my ex is a jerk for all the grief he has brought in to my life. Sometimes I feel guilty for talking to him. Other than his divining rod for misery and simpering on YouTube there are some thing about him that I think are pretty awesome. Like this:



The New York Times also wrote quite nice article about his work that has quote from non other than Paul Peroni. The nice surprise at the bottom is that it talks about Superflex and the CopyShop in Denmark. Funnily enough, they are mates of mine too. You will have seen stuff on here before about them.

Today will be one of more sewing. I have a stack of African fabrics and vintage Vogue patterns and a kitten doing gnarly sofa surfing taking run ups and flipping over the back of the sofa like they are giant waves. Cowabunga dudes.

Yes that's right, that's me. Walking down the street snapping my fingers and clicking my heels, chasing birds, seeing rainbows and kissing butterflies. That's me! And see my little cat with a ribbon on her neck skipping after me with a smile on her face and her little tail bobbing along after her, that Her!

From a Ju Ju Grinzelwitch to a Springload Joyroo!

Bye bye bye bye bye bye. Patience has been a virtue and now I get on with my own life writing on the internet and tiling my bathroom floor.

Today, I got a day off from work for being over tired from working too hard and after a long sleep in I got working on getting things done.

[And maybe the night out with The Cardinal at Dehesa helped with a quick sprinting visit into Sketch from Miss Brooks while drink avocado and rosemary cocktails first.]

I'm glad you told me it was a dog, I thought Hobart had gone through a sex change?
You must admit thise emails make more sense, relative to cost , for sure? My cost is at least $30'00 a month, 360 for the year, if I send you the money yeary the total saving would pay yer fare in two or three years. Nah. you'ld spend the money on a gold lead for the little free-loader.(free-UNloader on the carpet.

MEAN GIRL

You are possibly the most hideous person I have had the misfortune of knowing and I knew right from the second I met you that you were vile.

Speaking of other mean girls, after trying to walk the kitten on a lead [that is to say get the collar on her and drag her on her side to the back door with it] Hobart has decided payback comes in the form of clawing my new rug which I just rolled out about 15 minutes ago. All the bushels of wool that she is digging up she chews up. My payback will be laughing when she coughs up a fur ball. Then her payback will be my broken heart as I sit and watch her all stressed and worried that I have to call the Pet Ambulance. And when she is okay again I will feed her some THRIVE freeze dried shrimps.

I had a funny evening this evening with Mr 40something who had obviously had a very boozy lunch and was telling me how life was so horrible and depressing and stressful. He also said that I did nothing but take the piss out of him. But that I was also the person who was the most polite and respectful to him as well. [Aussie humour.] Then he asked me if I wanted a glass of wine. Worried he might have a sex den in his basement I said that he was welcome to bring the wine upstairs. He said he would be 5 minutes. After 35 I finished what I was doing and went home. Poor fella. He had splits in the crotch of his pants where they had worn through.

Oh - and Lady Gang alert - I'm double dog baby sitting with Mrs Kipling on Saturday night at the most luxurious flat in town. Anyone else want to come and watch the Nollywood channel and polish of a few bottles of something? The Booyah Cook may or may not make an appearance. Depends how much we want Pizza instead.

They all taste majorly banging, BUT you can see the tops have cracked and are scored like hot cross buns!

Mrs Kipling has started to contribute to www.madameatrois.com with her Rye Pottery and a glass flask that is going to make The Cardinal shit and use the stopper as a butt plug. As for The Cardinal, I took a picture of her looking beautiful in The Dorchester yesterday.

It is my turn for the next Lady Gang dinner and I am already starting to think of things for the menu. Dinner is in October. Many hours researching recipes and trying things out. Hopefully I will have perfected the macaroon recipe by then! I can't give too much away as the menu is never known before we sit down to eat. Other than there is no seafood with gills or red meat other than maybe lamb and only a little bit. And no pulses.

'ere's me, walked passed the Dorchester 4 million times in my earlier days, never put me foot inside the door. Never had the dosh, and me father would have kicked me arse for having thoughts above my station.
No wonder that Cardinal is a mate. Except for being slightly thinner faced she looks very much as you do. Long hair, brown?, good looking complexion, etc.etc. won't continue. YOU will only accuse me of being a 'dirty old man'
Anyhow, the tucker(can you call food of that standard 'tucker'?) It looks fabulous. Seems a good place to move out of the daily tribulations of earing a living. You ought to take Hobart with you? Don't be mean. slip him in yer carry bag/large purse and let him have a wander. Sorry HER. W.K.O.F. name is Hobart for a female?F.C.S.
Got an Email ex Sars today and she tells me there's a parcell in the post, which I'll prolly get to-morrow. She doesn't know I know it's seeds so I can plant things to remind me of you lot. I have planted cuttings of Roses, Iceberg and Bridal shower for your reminder. BIG Sharpish tasting radishes for me. Can't tell wot I'm putting in for the kids and Sars till I get the package tomorrow.. The prickles on the roses will be for Pussie!.
Look after yorself Kiddo. Winter's on it's way. Keep away from any fukka who has a runny nose or is sneezing. Swine Flu is a bastard. Bad for yer health.Cheers from yer old Dad. Since The Cardinal makes you happy, say hullo to her from me.

A SMALL VICTORY

Today I couldn't be bothered going to work on time cause I wanted to have a go at making these instead.

Campari and Orange Macaroons.
Grenadine and Fresh Blueberry Macaroons.

I can't decide which was better.

Not to self: when it comes to colouring them, you really cannot hold back on the colour. More is definitely less in this case - which doesn't often happen.

The girls at work were really impressed. When I crack the recipe I will Booyah Cook them.

Then we went for dinner at The Diner. When I got home, I stuck my fingers down my throat after champagne at work, a cocktail, a sailor jerrys with coke and fresh lime and a glass of horrid white wine. I feel a lot better now.

BANK HOLIDAY

Bank Holiday, originally uploaded by Lektrogirl.

I spent my bank holiday helping my friend Mrs Kipling out of a hole. Then Professor Kipling, Mrs Kipling and I had coffee, chocolate and went out for Thai. Frieda was great company. I bought a rug on Sunday. Who could have thought my life was more exciting than this! Oh I forgot the part where Mrs Kipling and I ate too much crap, suddenly got tired and rolled around on the giant sofa and checked out eBay showing each other what we always look for first.

You want my life?

If so, you also have to take care of this:



My favourite little Thunder Hunter who shits out the front of her shit house. And I thought Der-Alexan's cat Tetue was a little bitch.

OH AND CONGRATULATIONS TO DRX AND OLIA WHO BROUGH LITTLE ZELDA INTO THE WORLD THE OTHER DAY!!!
Drx said Zelda looked identical to his son Jurij when he was born so they were thinking of just sending his baby pictures around to everyone. He also said his daughter looked like a raisin with eyes. I used to say my nephew looked like a scrubbed potato.
