Not very happy with this - completely unbalanced - but I'm so in need of a G&T that I'm past caring and I can't have one until I've collected Rachel from karate.
I am painting you all with the Pasque flower ignorance brush that applied to me until yesterday - I thought you might want to see one...
As of 4pm I no longer have a child at secondary school :0((( The much-feared (by teachers) last day antics did not materialise (as any of the kids could have told them) as they all went home to revise. Most are carrying on into 6th form anyway so they aren't going to be sad about leaving just yet.
Three good things:
1. Laura Ashley 'Twine' paint which is not in any way, shape or form pink. (And F & B 'Charleston' @fueast).
2. When I called the Apple Store at 5.30 they were fixing my Mac so I hope to get it back tomorrow.
3. Builders' tea
Ooh goody I can check upon your paint now!!!! You sound very daring going with two different brands....I am sticking with the poor mans version of Farrow & Ball matching ...( hopefully) as much as we or the decorator can!1 I am even hoping I might suggest the unthinkable that he might use the actual paint!!!!
This is a Pasque Flower , I have never seen one before & growing wild too....you have very upmarket wild flowers in Cambridge!!
I have only just found out what diptych means so i might have a go soon.
A Sixth former ....a whole new world!!!
Very pretty they are too! I got very carried away with my dining room and mixed a f&b and a fired earth paint. Best not to let on when you get so obsessed I think. The decorator didn't understand the Scandinavian chic look!
@happypat THREE things replaced in my Mac though they're only charging for the most expensive - think they're a bit embarrassed - and I did my mum's best disapproving voice...
Just perusing our living room walls trying to remember if ours was twine - think it was, and I noticed a long water stain going from ceiling to floor just below Angus' radiator. Further investigations have not come up with any clues as to where it has come from, and surprise surprise neither of the boys knows anything about it........ hmmm..... Anyway, I was going to say that I have only ever seen these flowers on their own on rockeries - pulsatilla or something like that. Amazing to see such a load of them and in the wild too. Now, back to the head scratching about the stain.....
Beautiful - don't think I've ever seen them. I went to a photo exhibition earlier in the year and bought a postcard of one of the photos called Pasque perfection. Taken by a young German photographer (15 - 17 yr category) called Daneil Eggert. It shows the flowers in the most stunning early morning light and covered in frost.
Stunning shade of purple in these gorgeous Pasque flowers! Love the solitary structure in the meadow with that soft blue sky. Gorgeous colors everywhere...and hopefully on your walls as well!
Congratulations to Adam!!!
glad the paint is sorted finally and how scary is that - Adam no longer at "school" - what are you going ot do when he leaves and goes to college...bit worried the gin might become a firm friend!!!!
