Menooooooooooo....And Breathe

NB: Blogger continues to be very tardy with many of your posts... and then a whole bunch will turn up at one go, with anything from two to four of those missed posts. Beyond frustrating!!! Am I the only one experiencing this, or have any others of you had this happen? I think David mentioned it might be with him. Anyway, for those to whom I regularly comment, know that I have not abandoned you and will get there eventually! For those I only comment occasionally, know that I am still reading all your posts - just not as timely as they could be!!! (moves on with clenched jaw and gnashing of teeth...).

I mentioned last Thursday that Mac1 is over by the Clyde house-sitting and looking after Barney, the Himalayan Terrier. I took a turn at 'watch' last week, and there will be another brief visit this weekend. My sister's friend and her hubby are overseas and were happy for Mac1 to use their place as an artist's retreat... and she certainly spread herself around!

The table by the window, the main dining table, the kitchen table... and many, many bags and boxes between! Friend Annie is, herself, a creator, mainly with fabrics, but a little with paints and other media. Mac1 loves printing in different formats, using whatever she forages from the beaches and woods and streamsides... and streets... Magpies would have trouble keeping up with her! 

Anyway, other than her three-week retreat, the other focus is the pupster... and what can be seen from the wonderful back deck... I'm just going to leave the rest of this post to the photos (in no particular order)...

Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

The last of our birthday composers (for now, at least) is Alois Haba, born on the 21st of June, 1893, in Vizovice, Czech Republic. His is of the early Modern classification of musical styles; still lyrical, but displaying that more explorative (eccentric?) tendency of the Modern era. I enjoy things that demand my full attention in listening... how about you?

Menonday Art Vibe; Art And Tec

The second of the architectural layouts that kept me looking for a while. There was a great deal of detail that demanded one go close up as well as stand well back... It can be viewed as entirely abstract, but it is, in fact, highly detailed, top end 'blueprint'...
