Painting and Dancing 13th August 2025

The last few days I have been working on some paintings for an exhibition a painting group I am in is having in northern France. Needless to say this has involved rootling through drawers and wardrobes to see if I have any older paintings I want to submit… and I came across this… my little Fifi…

And this is one I did recently from a foto I took many years back… that’s my neighbours’ roof, but thankfully not one of my cats!!

 

 

      Cat on a Hot Tile Roof!

This morning Marco is here to finish off the work to install my backup ac machine. Since my bedroom was 28C last night, and we have at least another week of the hot weather, then it may actually come in useful – for the dogs if not for me.

Last night I couldn’t open the windows til some time in the middle of the night when the outside temperatures finally dipped below 28!!  Then, in the morning, currently around half nine, I wander around the house, small thermometer in hand, to check if the air outside the window is still cooler than inside the room!! And that’s what you call the ‘Browbeating Heavy Leather Resurrection window-shutter Shuffle!! Only those of my generation will get that reference – but its still one of the best dance records ever!! Check it out… Ashton Gardner & Dyke PS I always thought the line was ‘make the bees sad’, and that’s what I always used to sing at the top of my (appalling) voice; but listening to it again now after many years I realise it actually was… ‘make the peace sign’. Ooops!!!
