I now  have an overpowering  desire  for choc - and  I blame  Marjorie.   Well, I need consolation, having heard that one of  my paintings had been thrown into a skip when its owner suddenly died: sic transit gloria mundi.  Fortunately I photographed it at the time, and could do it again - but I ask you: can  house-clearers not recognize aesthetic eminence when they see it?  Pass me a Kit-Kat Peter, I need it.

Commiserations Robert - great masterpieces have ended up this way! But why did you have to talk about chocolate again…..just when I’d pushed it to the back of my mind🤨

Reminds me, Robert, of a story Sylvia told us a few  years ago -

Yes, I  remember that!  It can happen to the best of us, obviously - what's annoying is that I'd put all the relevant  details on the back of the painting, so a quick look (which obviously, no one bothered with) should have told 'em that it was a professional job .....  but perhaps they looked at the front instead....... Taking Marjorie's mind off the substance which has set her salivatory glands  into overtime, I shall just mention gin instead:  does that work?  These are a few of my favourite things....

Oh gawd! The sun is over the yardarm somewhere…. Jenny, the same has happened to me! My little painting was in a job lot from a house clearance, just popped up, fascinating. Price was the same as when I’d sold it, didn’t buy it back though.

I have just been chatting to Sylvia, she is recovering from a loss of energy that suddenly hit her a couple of weeks ago , now very much on the mend . I let her know each evening what had been going on with the forum and gallery, I will photo copy this and send it to her this evening, she will be tickled pink , (without the gin). Her granddaughter Vickie will read it to her as the print is far to small for her to do so . Sorry for digressing but thought you might like to know that I was sending it to her .

Sorry Robert, the bag of KitKats is carefully counted and if there's one missing I get blamed. Rightly of course, because I'll have eaten it!
