Nothing so morbid. Well, not just now, anyway. If you want I can post a picture of a skull and crossbones -
The 17/21st Hussars to you |
Well, it has been supplanted in the lounge by a rocking chair, which is rather less - ah - robust in build, and The Chair now graces my room. It took a bit of backing and filling to get it there. Edna appreciates it. Art?
It's very comfortable. Probably too comfortable, as I suddenly awoke in it at 1:20 a.m. in the small hours, which is fine on a Saturday/Sunday night, considerably less so on a school night. Your modest artisan is off on leave next week, though, so it won't be an issue for a while.
Damn You, Words!
You know your humble scribe by now, ever one to muck about with words, and when I realised that last week's MEN had an untackled Wordsquare, it proved to be too tempting. This is why this afternoon's post was not on-line sooner. Bad Conrad! Naughty Conrad!
Still didn't get the 9 letter original |
Spring Has Arrived
You can tell because Wonder Wifey is out in the back yard after being at the garden centre. We here in the Allotment of Eden have to make the most of any sunny periods, as there's no saying when the grim grey grimy skies will return. Thus we now have a prospective vegetable section. Art?
Beans on the left, Tomatoes on the right |
Round the corner, on the now well-weathered wicker settee, there will be a display of vibrantly bright flowers on different levels. Art?

Oh I See NOW It's A Classic
If you weren't around at the time when Pink Floyd's "The Wall" was released then you won't appreciate the sheer loathing and hatred that some sections of the music press directed at it. I recall the NME, in particular, hating it with a passion and declaring that it possessed enough musical ideas for an EP, at most. This, since you probably weren't born when they were being released, was like a single with four tracks.
Just in case you were living in an experimental undersea environment for the past 40 years |
Pink Floyd’s classic double album
Personally it's not Conrad's favourite Floyd album (that would be either "Animals" or "Wish You Were Here").
"Not that you need an excuse to bang on about Pink Floyd, Conrad, but - why now?" i hear you query.
This!
Whatever next |
"Discoballs" By Rosebud
Continuing the Pink Floyd theme, allow me to link you to this Youtube presentation:

This is, by it's own admission, a disco tribute to the music of Pink Floyd, which is one of those ideas so out of left-field that it's either brilliant or terrible, possibly both at the same time. Give it a go and see what you think!
Keeping it small to stay SFW |
Because this will make sense when read on Facebook, and also because I need a very short article to get to count -
