I will ring you over the weekend though. I have to admit I am not at all keen on the bar in the club - far too bright for my liking. I could comment on not wanting to give my money to anything to do with the the Conservative Party but I guess that would mean I would not be able to buy any alcohol anywhere in this country.<BR/><BR/>Bungus, my understanding is that Doisneau admitted that <I>The Kiss</I> was staged in so far as it was a re-creation of the original kiss which he saw but didn't photograph. I believe that the lady in the picture, relatively recently, received a fairly large sum of money as compensation for an image of her being used for all these years. I think it was to do with the French privacy laws.<BR/><BR/>I never realised there was such a thing as reconstituted potato flour or that it is used to make chips. Is nothing sacred?<BR/><BR/>Tonight we are going for a curry at Huthwaite Tandoori. The food is invariably excellent, the restaurant always busy and the staff very friendly. I recommend it highly to anyone who likes Indian food.<BR/><BR/>Today we have been to a Notary so we can grant Power of Attorney to our solicitors dealing with the Italian property purchase. Alas and alack (now where does that come from?) I have realised far too late that I should have studied hard and become a Notary. We were with him for no more than 10 minutes, probably less. All he did was explain what we were granting to our solicitors (which we already knew), watched us sign bits of paper, signed them himself, put a stamp on them (the embossed kind), photocopied our passports and charged us £75. I could do that - how hard can it be? The cost works out to around £450 an hour. I'd only need to work two hours a week and I'd be well happy.<BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-15896355470833972272008-04-18T07:11:00.000+01:002008-04-18T07:11:00.000+01:00Sorry you are still unframed.

We have occasionally had some ENORMOUS ones. I think a reconstituted one would not have the long fibres necessary to keep it intact<BR/><BR/>Of course I DO know Doisneau. He was the French feller who, supposedly, snapped unaware people in the street although there have been suggestions that The Kiss was posed.<BR/> <BR/>Like the O’Casey quote and absolutely agree with it.<BR/><BR/>On Thirsday’s sunny morning I saw a bumble bee. I’ll bet he felt the cold later (unless he was a Geordie bee?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-24676857653867872712008-04-17T22:31:00.000+01:002008-04-17T22:31:00.000+01:00This should have been left on the Alport entry - l...This should have been left on the Alport entry - loved the pictures, especially the mother and calf - can't blame her chasing off all you geriatric Just Williams...<BR/><BR/>Is it possible to tell the difference between a true chip and one made with reconstituted flour? Apart from the unlikely size. I assume they work out cheaper made that way than from real potatoes.<BR/><BR/>What a shame about all the walking aids. The chap with the wheels, did he think you already had the frame? What did he think you were doing with it when it didn't have any wheels? Hope it all gets sorted out soon.<BR/><BR/>I am off to Chichester tomorrow for the day to meet a friend - Y will know who - just checked the temp. expected - 9 degrees max. Have decided to let the train take the strain, don't think driving will do my arm much good, and I can get on a train across the road, one change, and an hour and a half later I am there, having knitted away on my sock and been brought coffee. Definitely preferable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
