Eggselling in lightness -updated -Gaultier

To the Barbican. Jean Paul Gaultier.



Happy weekend all.


I don't do religion so it's all the same to me.....My god is your god is our god....even the god that doesn't exist in the consciousness of non believers. 
IMHO the fact that they say they don't believe in god means they are acknowledging his/hers/its existence. 
Yay......I have spoke.
Where's my Easter Egg? 
 xxx

That'll do nicely.........except it's just a painting I did on my wall and then ellipsed it on iPhoto.


The AMP, who doesn't do religion either, says he's bought me an Easter Egg but he won't give it to me as he doesn't want to encourage me to EAT it......:)
I say (after the obvious ef-u) I don't need encouraging....Hand it over I'm 'aving it large..:)
hahahahaaaaa 

Update later Friday

The Gaultier was marvellous, wonderful. Such a fabulous collection. The man is a genius. The stories on the walls are well worth a read too. He was inspired by his grannie's corsets in childhood. 







As you enter the gallery there is a room full of manikins wearing fabulous Gaultier Haute Couture. Suddenly you realise that these models are blinking. Then they move their eyes then start talking or singing. It is unbelievably spooky and fun and completely up my rue.

Check out these manikins moving faces.........hillafeckinglarious

Brilliant Weekend......Orpheus then Ramsay's


Saturday night
Totes wonderful: Orpheus at Battersea Arts Centre.



If you want to see fabulous entertainment at affordable prices, not stupid West End rip-offs, you MUST go see this absolutely wonderful show. ORPHEUS.

click link here for more details :ORPHEUS at Battersea Arts Centre

Full of surprises and lovely to see a cast of non-glam entertainers...so talented in their musical abilities, their singing, beautiful voices, their comic parodies, ironic in the campest way........just truly the best show I've seen in years. (and *I* saw MORMON last week ;) )
It deserves a West-End venue. Not that Battersea Arts Centre isn't the quaintest, loveliest place to go see a show.


Sunday.....
A late afternoon walk along the River Thames to Battersea Park, Olde English Garden, then back to the most delicious food at Ramsay's new resto: London House in Battersea Square. Faultless. Great service, friendly staff, every dish delish. Discovered a new Sauvignon Blanc, Isabel I think it was called. Better even than our fave Oyster Bay.
Oh god oh god oh god.....so good.
Walked home then played scrabble for the rest of the evening. Cos we is addicted to it. lol


Me and the AMP at Ramsays, early Sunday evening.

The simple life is the best......

Oh what a fun day we had today
Saw a Russian singer at the Jazz Cafe
Then ended up at the ICA
(Dean Street Jazz Pizza Express actually, but let's not split hairs) 

My membership had expired but they let me go for a pee.
And browse around the joint for free.

Then my darling paid to renew my card
And had a nice surprise when it came in at half price.



We walked thru the park eating the absolute most delicious ice cream in a cone I have ever tasted.
I don't care this doesn't scan. It was heaven and I'm going back.
Clotted cream with berries I had and the Amp had exotic chocolate or something similar.
Too delicious for words.
Prior to that we'd hopped on a Routemaster. One of those buses that has entrance at back and front.
Oh the joy.....took us back to childhood stories. Simple times. We sat at the back of the bus. It was so clean and new. Quite lovely.
We planned to walk all the way home from the Strand but things change, as you know and when we reached Victoria Coach Station we decided a bus home was the better option.

Such a lovely simple day.......

It's getting closer all the time....(As Time Goes by)

I have a serious (possible) life-changing decision to make. It's times like this that I wish my mum was still alive. I would be able to phone her and she'd tell me exactly the right thing to do. Instantly. 

My Mum aged 43


Perhaps the answer will come to me in my sleep.  Perchance to dream........
The reason the answer is not easy is that I'm NOT a vengeful person......
I like that trait in me

Que sera



And now for the segue.......To remind myself that I once had a funny little career in the showbiz malarkey...hahaaaa. And was super proud to work with Judy Dench in the TV sitcom:  As Time Goes By


Unfortunately this video cannot be viewed on iPhone. Only on a pooter it seems. Soz


Quack alert



Got home from a lovely afternoon filming birds and tame squirrels in Battersea Park to three urgent messages from my docs.
I'd been there for minor surgery this morning to remove and cauterise 3 skin tags. Was told the histology report would take 4 weeks to process. 
So imagine my consternation when I played these three urgent messages to call the practice. (I also received three more from withheld numbers) I wondered what they had found so quickly. Skin Cancer of course was the first thing that sprang to mind and I must say that I was already imagining a funeral route......

Turns out that when the doc was cleaning the scalpels he had managed to incise himself with one of them with my blood on it.
Obviously they've checked my notes and I don't have HIV but of course they want to be extremely careful and so have asked me to go back in the morning for a blood test. 

When I told the AMP........I gave it a certain amount of drama, lol.......he said what if he had had a heart attack on account of my account? 
Laugh?............well yes.......





Friendly squirrel Battersea Park today 1st April 2014
