Well, folks, it has
been a while since the last dose of silliness from the meno sisters! Hold onto your hats… (what you need to know
is that Aitch is an ardent follower of the Royals - remember the tea party? )
Aitch: Off work today as the girls went back this morning , sad face. Had
a great time in London yesterday; we went to the National Portrait Gallery -
have I already told you that?
me: no it was the transport
museum last I heard
Aitch: Changed our minds quickly about that one, NP was brilliant - Saw the new portrait of Duchess of Cambridge -
we thought it made her look older. Also there were lots of Tudor Kings and
Queens and courtiers portraits
me: aha. any non royals among
them? ;)
Aitch: Yes Cromwell, various Earls of Essex, other favourites of
Elizabeth I. Also Stuarts, Georges and
Hanoverians and Victorians including all the men, mostly, who invented,
designed wrote painted etc.
me: O K any farmers? just asking... oh you're going to tell me
Duke of Cornwall aren't you?!
Aitch: Jethro Tull the nearerst I guess - or yes and him!!!
me: OOhhhh HEAVY HORSES
PLOUGHING DOWN THE EARTH, BBOOMOOOBNBBOOOMMM - not that Jethro Tull I suppose?
Aitch: Also some amazing portraits of American Indians by some one called
George Catlin http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/george-catlin-american-indian-portraits/exhibition.php And it is all free
me: oh Aitch Arrr - how many
taxes have you paid???
Aitch: ha ha
me: good to be getting something for them though
- lemme see this link - ooooh they dooo loook handsome. Not tricked up
- quite photographic I think
Aitch: No
real thing and imagine they are 180 years old. They were here 70 years ago I
think it was and now returned again
me: wow
Aitch: Phantom was brilliant but we were up, up, up in the
balcony, nearly needed oxygen when we got to our seats
me: AAARrggh - I would have
needed vertigo pills
Aitch: Yes I know, I was careful when standing up
me: bluuurryggh - that just made me queazy with the
thought. Could you see the show? Need binoculars? telescope? Hubble space station? and who was the space pilot - sorry Phantom
Aitch: Oh yes but could not see their faces and sometimes wasn't able to
see who was singing…..An American who I did not know but had played the Phantom
on Broadway for a number of years. Wonderful voice.
me: good. we're both in the
dark then.
Aitch: Oh dear a late night last night so not up with things yet. We got
home at 1am.
me: goodness - you'll be
joining the YAMparty soon with those hours.
Aitch: Non of us had been up so late for a long time, H2 said she is
often ready for bed by 8.30
me: yes. I remember times like
that. Actually am a bit that way tonight but have been fighting allergies (or
some rhinitis thing) for a couple of days and just totally groggy. the air is
ridiculously dry just now. - Oh how was dinner - you mention going to
"Bill's Place"...
Aitch: It was very good, but Jy's fish batter wasn't cooked through.
me: soggy batter .
eeeeooouuww. did the fish get wet?
Aitch: No not good - she said the fish was fine though
me: then she ate him...
Hari Om, Yam! Wow, this sounds like one of the conversations between me and best pal Keith. I salute the pair of you! Indigo
ReplyDeleteMy friend Judith and I have conversations like this, especially how that she is living in a narrowboat on a canal somewhere north of London but whose other identifying characteristics I have momentarily forgotten. Oh yes, Yelvertoft. Judith and Mikey and their two cats. The cats hate one another. Flying them from western Canada to deepest England didn't result in any bonding happening.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm up to my eyes in Rudyard Kipling right now, so I'd better pack him up and give him another look tomorrow.
The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads wants me to pick my favourite poem. How can I? Well, I guess I'll just have to tell the truth about Kamal's son, and how I've felt about him for the past 50 years or even, perhaps, longer.
Luv, K
Hari OM
ReplyDeleteIndigo - he heh hehe - nothing like a natter between nerds, what? xx
Kay - wow - Good for Judith, two cats who hate each other in a caravan on water. Great idea. &*> Isn't it lovely to be able to hold conversation like this though - whereby each is thinking of something entirely different yet they somehow meet in the middle?
I look forward to the impending RK posting then!! xx
