Inspiration

I watched the film Julia and Julie last night and was enthralled. I am not into cooking, in fact I have difficulty finding the kitchen in our small house. Luckily madam loves to cook and I love to eat.

The film did inspire me to do more in the blog. It's many years since I kept a diary and this won't be one, but I think there are enough interesting, daft or rude things going on my daily grind which maybe worth writing about.

Ref the film, didn't Streep make a wonderful characterisation of Julia Childs? That warbling voice - just delicious.

Wee bits continue, although a cold has crept into the scene, so my snozzle is like a tap and every sneeze really hurts inside. I wonder if it is pulling at internal stitches.

I am going to try and continue with a watercolour painting I started yesterday of racehorses. It is like several I have completed and sold and as I aim to do much more painting in the new year, that subject seems like a nice money spinner. I need the funds as the Numpties who run Southampton City Council are terminating my annual contract in March. A much loved part time job which pulls in the princely sum of £6000pa is being scrapped, but they are appointing a new Director of PR at £87k having spent £400k with outside consultants advising them on the appointment.

Good news this morning on opening my messages is that my remaining painting of the three I submitted to a current exhibition in Winchester is to be sold (That's it above)

Need to organise things as I can't drive since the op.

See ya'
