Well, I've tiptoed around long enough. And if I'm awake, everyone else should be. ***clang*** splash*****click*****kettle's on.
Read back a little, love your tag Bluecat but not so keen on the cats toilet etiquette but love hearing about your plans for the garden. A customer cutting wood at Bunnings? I wonder what their insurance company will say if they hear that.
Bushie has the shortcut sorted out. Flashie and Freddie doing the waving. Twinks was a powerhouse yesterday. And punchie receiving affection from her dad. Sandy has her icing done.
Amber mentioned earlier on about her cultural gallivanting. Long time since I was anywhere near some culture. (Except here of course.)
One of my favourite artists birthday today Toulouse Lautrec. I have a small print of his work - a few flourishes of a pencil and there's the can can dancer with so much movement!
I had a maiden aunt who had the capacity to introduce me to the arts. From about the age of 8 a couple of times a year, we went to concerts, opera, exhibitions.
I was about 13 when I was priveleged to listen to Victoria de Los Angeles at the Sydney Town Hall. That was the period I wanted to be an opera singer.
Plenty of plays were attended at the Elizabethan, Independent and Ensemble theatres. That was the period I wanted to be an actress.
Musical concerts. That was when I wanted to be part of an orchestra.
Went to the Ballet - that was the period I learnt that I was too tall and too indelicate to be a ballerina.
Memories of going somewhere "special" and being dressed up for the occasion. Ah, if only............I'd put the effort into something, I could have been famous in the arts.
The best sounds in my opinion from musical instruments, are that of the viola and the oboe. Anybody else got an Arts "soft spot"?
