There is much to be said for abridgment. It reminded me of Emmerdale in entertainment value, plot twists and contrasting characters from all the social strata. First class Sunday night viewing.<BR/><BR/>Can't get my head around 'spies of colour. 'Spikes of colour', yes.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous Rob's 'suits for syringes' reminds me of Nottm Writer's Group John in the 80's who achieved success on a 'Round Europe' students' rail ticket holiday by following the advice 'If you want a carriage to yourself, have a skinhead haircut'.<BR/>And, in Manchister (sic) sweets are called 'spice'. <BR/><BR/>Forgot to mention yesterday that I made the bread & butter pudding par excellence.<BR/>1 x ½” slice Panettone, buttered; 6 chopped dried apricots; 1/8 pint cream; 1 egg beaten with 2 tspn sugar plus ½ pint semi-skimmed milk; another 1/8 pint cream; grated nutmeg & sprinkle of sugar. <BR/>Overcooked by about 50% (ie, about 1 hour Gas Mk 4; by concensus ‘a good thing’) and served (in the absence of Baileys) with cream plus dark rum and Grand Marnier.<BR/>Absolutely delicious to the nth degree.<BR/>(The panettone had been bought before last Christmas, sliced, and kept in the deep freeze).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-4337002238904491592007-11-19T21:26:00.000+00:002007-11-19T21:26:00.000+00:00I need to go back to my instructions but, as I rec...I need to go back to my instructions but, as I recall, making cyanotypes only involves applying a light sensitive coating which I have pre-mixed in a kit. All I need to do is apply it to watercolour paper with a syringe and glass coating rod.<BR/><BR/>I hope that doesn't sound critical, pompous, churlish or whatever, RG, as I realise you were expressing concern for my health and not being literal. You are right, however, I do enjoy darkroom work and find it a more creative process than digital. <BR/><BR/>As an aside, it took me all my persuasive skills at the chemists to buy a syringe from them. They were very reluctant even though I told them I wanted it for coating paper with photographic chemicals. I think they only sold it to me because I was wearing a suit. So, the moral is, wear a suit when you need to replenish your drugs paraphenalia.<BR/><BR/>I hope your legs are soon behaving themselves and doing the job they were made for; being legless when you don't drink doesn't sound much fun.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in learning more about bombazine - it sounds like a sweet (aka tuffy, sucker, goodie) from my childhood days.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-41481933247696951062007-11-19T19:28:00.000+00:002007-11-19T19:28:00.000+00:00Hope you are feeling better, abd willbe up and abo...Hope you are feeling better, abd willbe up and about for Wedensday.
