the princess, the tape measure and Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan's very excellent work

I went up to the house yesterday and I hurt my finger. OBG (official building guru) - it's like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of handypersons - aka George was working on a Sunday - yes he's my hero - anyway he was busy ripping up old skirting and putting on new skirting and was covered in dust and grime and sweat and stuff and I was like well I just need to measure a few things George so I'll leave you to it. So there I was prancing about in my black boots trying not to get any dust and grime and stuff on them and not spill my cappuccino - I did offer to get him one - I'm not completely heartless you know - and then anyway, I was measuring up for the white wooden venetians I've been fantasising about for you know like years, with my new amazing tape measure. It's the kind that proper builders use but if you let it go too fast it like snaps back really fast and you can get tape whiplash something severe. Well I let it snap back really fast and at first I was like OMG what's that sticky stuff on my fingers is that some kind of poison and then I realised it was my own blood. I had sliced my finger with the tape measure - how is that possible I hear you ask? Well that's what can happen on a building site when you let princesses wander around randomly. It's nearly healed now thanks for asking.

the princess hurt her finger on the building site....poor princess

ode to Pablo

Forget internet dating and let me introduce Pablo. He's dark and latino looking and he's moved into my place. Yes people I know it's fast but when it's right, it's right. And he's attentive, sweet and adorable! What more could you want?  And I do have a penchant for those with artistic tendencies and he has these in spades. I met him only recently and we had an immediate rapport. He's working on his latest exhibition using found objects and I love it! Everything is so thoughtfully and artfully arranged down to the last detail. His use of the natural environment in his latest installation is inspired.

let me introduce Pablo during his blue period .........

his latest work

he's neat and does his own cooking

He's not a great conversationalist but you can't have everything - besides bowerbirds are very cool
