I am never far from the truth, Duta. To grab the truth, any truth, by its apron strings without strangling myself in the process is the art I am still trying to perfect.
You'd make a good defense lawyer and/or optician (both of them tend to be bearers of bad news but do not let that dishearten you).
Please don't complicate things, Jinx. I believe Rachel's Burka girls won. A truly inspired entry - one John initially refused to give air space to. As I would have done. A bit of peace never going amiss.
The irony being, and please take note, that everyone thought they were chiseled out of aubergines. Not so - courgettes.
I can see it on Antiques Roadshow: "As fine an example of Staffordshire weird ware as I have ever seen!! Circa 1916, in the neo-odd veggie style championed by the Trelawnyd flower show school."
Who'd have thought a teapot could bring on so much chatter. It is a wonderful piece of china though and should be in my collection though i prefer chocolate sets better. Love your pot...haha
Gosh, how do I say this without being bitchy...she is someone who takes great delight in apparently taunting the comments page on any given day. I always get the feeling that she is tut tutting her way around the comments trying to bestow her virtue on the "idiot" commentator of the day. I can't decide if she is just a bitch or someone a bit thin on tact and just wants to goad.
I'm strangely drawn to it.
ReplyDeleteI rather like that xx
ReplyDeleteNow ... That is cool, I like it!
ReplyDeleteI like it, too! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteUrsula was not far from the truth; the tea pot resembles an eggplant.
