On me ed sun!

It was the cricket on the umbrella who suggested I play football with the sun. Lovely little fella… Really into Paul Weller and empty bouncy castles. I suppose one could say he is a great friend of loyal kind. A real find. He has his ways…

Good afternoon everyone, every place, everything and everywhere. Good evening. Goodnight. Good morning and good day again…

    Still deciphering this one as I type. But every morning I laugh and mutter, “Heyward. What ARE you up to this morning…?”

    Now this may seem uinconnected, but the angle of your head and the sight of one eye reminded me of the doodle people in this video. :)

    Good Morning. Mackerel sky. What will the ‘later’ bring? Only time will tell. a. xo

    I love how four hours out of my life yesterday burned up from drooling over British Aerospace clips ultimately led me to this…

    Hey Tex, I was slightly worried about where the link would go given you said you were “drooling over British Aerospace clips” but that was such a giggle, thank you! It led me to a similar clip but with the mighty Rick Astley as the backing track – which means I’ll be stuck with “Never gonna give you up” in my head all night now…!

    Lovely, happy photo Nick – even looks a bit snowy outside? And topical too as football brought a bit of sunshine into my life yesterday! Wembley! I can hardly believe it!

    Glad you liked it, Anna-Marie.
    Btw, nice Strada Manolo Blahniks you’re sporting there. Suede in Nero in the 90cm heel, I believe?

    The ultimate flying machine , and a part of England that should remain

    Gosh, thanks – they’re Campari, suede leopard print – I have the black patent ones too…. (SATC urban shoe myth) from Bergdorf Goodman last October. Always loved my shoes, even as a little girl. Still short in fact, hence the skyscraper heels!

    Great clip Andrew !!

    btw… is tonight the new drummer launch for The Quotes ? If it is – have a great time. They sounded brilliant on the radio show the other night :)

    Sunsational snap Nick. Perhaps you could next plan a photography evening with an occasional song thrown in. Be good to hear your banter about the pics.

    Good morning everyone!

    Just love how one ‘bubble’ landed in the middle of your forehead Nick like the dot Indian’s put there. What’s that called?

    Good evening, lovely photo – it was such a great day today – I was at a tea party for my one year old niece, back to the good old days of finger food, cheese and pineapple on sticks, fairy cakes, iced gems, great!!! x

    Great Craig Armstrong post Andrew. Such a powerful film. Heartbreaking.
    My eleven year old is going to Normandy in March on a school trip.
    I did the very same trip when I was 12. I remember the artificial harbours as if it were yesterday.

    It’s a bindi I think Elissa – goodnight ! :D

    hahaha That Beaker thing has got to be one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life – dare I say even better than a sunspot on someone’s head – and will now set about sharing it with others on the internet. Oh good on you for putting it here, Tex. And a favourite song, too.

    Nick, it’s an unusual thing to see you without glasses – also in Racquel’s photos – I’ve become so used to seeing you with them on that I forget that it’s possible to take them off. Your third eye is shining brightly.

  23. Nick on 11th February 2010 at 1:37 am permalink

    Yeah, the third eye has been missing in action most of January… Found it hoovering over by the lamp. I mean, to my complete surprise it had taken to hoovering! Now they are my cleaner. “Clean me up scottie!” said eye. You gotta laugh when a third eye makes little jokes, apparently… The forth eye is even more touchy feely. Just don’t call them four eyes… Oh go on then. The fifth eye is like a fish eye but without a sixth sense of direction?

    It’s nice and late… The Quotes were great.

    I say there’s nothing hotter than a guy that hires a maid.

  25. thelonehydrangea on 11th February 2010 at 9:07 am permalink

    (Tex, Neil Young told us that a man needs a maid but, not suprisingly, he said nary a thing about eyes :) ).My third eye has been busy as well. Not hoovering, but picking up things in its own way. It has a life of its own that eye and finds things and I wonder how it does it. Especially when they are the opposite of what I think I see with my other eyes. I’m so glad I don’t have a fourth and fifth . Who knows what they would get up to. I couldn’t keep up with them; they would wear me out. They might want to go star trekking across the universe.

    ahhh – neil young

    Kate, I have to go to bed in a sec so can’t wait for that all to load on dial-up at the moment but from the first tiny bit that has loaded so far it sounds different to the version on my album. It is a special song in this house – it is the one that I would dance around to in the loungeroom with my son, his feet on top of mine until he got too big to be able to do that. It is a song I have always fantasised about dancing to in my old childhood dance hall -even though it’s been pulled down now I still haven’t let go of the idea in my head, if that makes sense. Signed Hopeless Romantic.
