There was a 'skull' outside a museum in Venice that enthralled me. It was made of all those stainless steel jugs and teapots you find in Tea Shops and cheaper cafes. It was about eight feet tall or more.. and just bloody beautiful to see from afar on a waterbus, and then trek round to find it and touch and gasp with amazement. The museum was something else. Full of moderns and stuff that children's simple minds would understand, and one had to go 'back' to enjoy. Just the sight of a single cigarette packet dangling apparently without reason or mode of suspension in a part of a totally empty room. THEN you start... took me an hour to get around all the messages it sent. (just thin cotton strung from door made it swing about) OOof twas a lovely place.
But another was trekking through some grooosome Constabley paintings to find La Tempesta - Giorgione simply because I saw a film with that title and which was... good - La Tempesta was involved natch.
AND now you are hoping to go into publishing... gosh. Writing for a living... OOOH HOHOH Lets have you up for the Booker!!
Seriously. your list of interests - SNAP!!!! Just totally SNAP!!! I'm doing the philosophy stuff now... and enjoying laughing my head off at Camus... oh darling man. I WISH I could have sat with them all and 'discussed' the Meaning of Life and Existentialism.... oh my oh my. I'm reading Candide now, and he's hilarious and so snidey snipey. Puts everyone and everything in a clear glass jar to be viewed properly!! I've Proust to come..hell. 7 volumes (and a few fiction to intersperse the heavies.)
History? English or European? I wanted history but it was UK history natch, and now I've found European History and damme... that gets complicated. Woweee. The early Kings of France alone are adorable in their names. The Fat, the Bald, the Dull.... and the Spider (Louis XI) In love natch with Henry IV of France.
Astronomy ! Don't care what Dawkins says about it... I LIKE having my stars read. AND I think Zodiac signs are amazingly precisely right! Lordy me. I'm a Sag.. and SOSOO true. Ex was a Gemini... and oooh me - Janus. And you're a Cancer. NICE! I do a daily listen in to Russell Grant... even if it is all hoolie.. I think sometimes it helps to listen to someone being positive and a guide! He at least doesn't forecast coming up on the pools! He's more about behaviour, yours or someone elses.
Yes. Dear lovely Rosie. Am with you all the way. Golly... keep me up with your super studying. And if you want encouragement.. it's about all I'm any good at!
ENUFF! I've sardines to clean.. and grill and stink the rooms out with! Shall light my lovely smelly candles!
Oh bless you... You are amazing and super and fun and clever and.... thanks so much, and so happy that Flair put me on to you! Darling Flair, must send her an email - do love her too, she was soooo good when I turned up having fled the ex overnight!
