La Luna
I took this in the afternoon, when I was out on a canal cruise to Enslow (see blog passim). After a little techical jiggery-pokery, it looks rather good.
I've fiddle with the contrast, slammed it into back & white and added a slight tint.

A Field of Clocks
I realise that it must seem strange to post an Autumn picture in the Spring. However, I've finally found an editing tool that doesn't cause me to spit blood and I've been playing....a lot...too much..

L'atelier de John Whitehall
John used to be a BBC slave, working as a sound engineer on a myriad of programmes. He's now a self-employed slave, with a sound studio on the barge.
It's wonderfully well insulated. There is almost no echo at all.
Just lots...and...
...lots of electronic wizardry.
[Atelier is a French word literally translated as "workshop". In English, it is used to refer to an artist's working studio, typically a fashion studio for Haute couture.]Lunch with Courtney
Lorna and Courtney came by for Sunday lunch. As you can see, Courtney still loves cow kind!
CHOCOLATE!
Cooking with Sue
On Friday, I had a 'cook in' with Sue.
We cooked some MEAT too! Sue is looking jolly as we were singing along to Aretha Franklin.
"And I had to use THIS much cable..."
Mr Dudley has a lovely profile...

The View from Alpha-Wilja
My friends Sue and John moor their barge down at Eynsham boatyard (their cottage is just a few doors down in Queen Street) - this is their view!

Fr..fr...fr...frustration...
So, who knows what's up with me. I've been signed off for another month, and as I'm already seriously stir-crazy, I don't think I'm going to be very good company.

I love Cruising....
I have fairly major PC problems ce moment, so this is strictly the edited highlights....
As you can see, it was very misty when we set off from Thrupp.

Happy Birthday - Susie Sioux!
Although, I've known her for sometime, it's only been in the last year or so that we've become buddies. She's a fantastic person, who happens to be beautiful and talented to boot (it's enough to make you spit!).
Thank you for your friendship Sue - it's really enriched my life, love you lots xxxxx.
Still Crazy....(after all these years...)

The Art of Spain
I'm currently watching a TV programme about Spanish art. Now there are EVEN MORE places I want to visit and art I long to wonder at !

Health Update
Hmm...I feel like I've spent the last few weeks in either the doctor's, dentist's or vet's (the latter being on Billy's behalf not mine). The upshot is:
- I may have a problem with my liver (hence feeling exhausted) and have had to have even more blood tests
- I narrowly escaped root canal work
- Billy is a bugger, and as he now refuses to eat medicine laced food, has had to have expensive injections
I won't be back at work until they have some idea what's up, and I'm going stir-crazy, but I'm too tired to do anything except work my way through my DVD collection. Oy Vey!

Chim Chim Cher-Ee
BTW - if my title has induced cravings for Dick van Dyke impersonsations, you can find the full lyrics here: http://www.fpx.de/fp/Disney/Lyrics/MaryPoppins.html

Beleted (Eynsham) Beer Festival Pics
It's been a really good experience, as it's reminded me what a lovely day it was. And it wasn't just about BEER...
