Peaches and Blue explore the Garden

Last weekend we let Peaches and Blue out for a supervised exploration of the garden.



Peaches led the way, did a complete circuit of the perimeter and traverse of the lawn.



Blue was a little more adventurous and also did a tour on the beds.



Inspection done they retired back inside.



We will continure to let them out under supervision until I return from holiday. Then I will try them on the cat flap.

Mrs and Mrs Clark meet the Arnolfinis

This is one of my Dad's favourite paintings. His mashup homage to David Hockney's Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy (1970) and Jan van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait.


Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy; The Arnolfini Portrait

This is what Wikipedia says about Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy:

Hockney drew on both The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck and A Rake's Progress by William Hogarth in the symbolism and composition of the painting. A copy of Hockney's own interpretation of the The Rake's Progress is seen on the wall.

This is what I say about Dad's painting:

Michael drew on both Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy by Hockney and The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck in the symbolism and composition of the painting. A copy of Michael's own interpretation of the The Arnolfini Portrait is seen on the wall.

CSC Alumni at the Crusting Pipe

A small but select number from the UK CSC Alumni list met for a drink on Wednesday in the Crusting Pipe. It is 10 years since most of us left CSC but we still like to meet up every now and again to catch up on the news.

Apologies: Tony Czarnecki, Tony Korn, Jim West, Andrew Hollick, John Patient, Nalin Goonewardene, Barry Wilton, Bob Taylor, Bob Carlsen.

Gullible's Travels migrated to blog.mmenterprises.co.uk

Gullible's Travels has moved to http://blog.mmenterprises.co.uk/. Please update your bookmarks.

My blog was previously hosted on my own website and not with Blogger. They are withdrawing support for FTP publishing and only allowing hosting on their own servers. Hence this enforced migration.

Now I need to make sure links to the old blog are successfully redirected to the new.

PS.
Setting up .htaccess in my public_html folder containing the following did the redirection very nicely thank you:
