it's official ~ the onlie way IS ESSEX

Charlotte Higgins - let's see if i can pull this off despite my zapped optic nerve. ive forgotten how to edit in blogger so it might be patchy. i've scored a facebook hit with my  posting of the wonderful Balliolene higgins' use of euripedes' medea. not hard to understand when my faithful followership is so largely blighty babes hitched to adonoi griks: i quote me: "i read to mrs R from charlotte higgins' wonderful 'its all greek to me', from euripedes medea. mrs R has had her share of new laws etc. she sits in bemused silence. "give me that book!" she says finally. 

Let euripedes speak: http://www.amazon.com/Its-All-Greek-Me-Hippocratic/dp/1906021430

"a foreign woman coming among new laws, New customs, needs the skill of magic to find out what her home could not teach her. How to treat the man whose bed she shares. And if in this exacting toil we are successful and our husband does not struggle under the marriage yoke, our life is enviable. Otherwise, death is better. If a man grows tired of the company at home, he can go out and find a cure for tediousness, we wives are forced to look to one man only. And they tell us we at home live free from danger, they go out to battle : fools! i'd rather stand 3 times in the front line than bear one child." The delightful ms higgins adds her own author comment - "Go sister!". such a good book 

CRAIG BROWN FUNNY AS EVER. Bron waugh once described him to me as the best parodish he knew

drat spam. my readership moans that the quality of roobish im sendingt out is getting worse.

latest gmail spam seems to be this, if ive copied it right.

sorry. things fraught here but weather sunnying up - tootlepip. must rush to met aomeone evaluating the clunky laura knight painting prop that rumor hath was promised to susie catweazle but, as i keep saying, ever since i was tipped orf that maman told S everything , and i hooked up the puter to tap the landline 24/7, i never heard any call or convo of mum even mentioning the easel intended for susie q -nor was any reference to art materials or marbled art papier "all in writing". very rum, including ythe precise wherabouts of the juggernaut easel. im having it evaluatyeed for provenance n e-baylability. all very sneaky.  

DUN-FOLDIN'

my aorldwide family readership watches me like a hawk and comments as if it was still Moscow Rules (thanks le Carré). 

since my stroke im slower n more strategic, storing up links for when i 'strike'.

good links when i see them, covering the water front, from easel Knievel suzanna catweazel to thefti pieces of work and will o'wisp Wills.

CLIFFFGATE FILTH INCOMPETENCE

WILL - i really must stop reading the express but this is a pertinent article. [link to be inserted, from daily express. if i cant manage it, look to a subseaquent post in 45 secs

ive come a cropper from a less than thorough Will, as have i protected myself with a cast-iron one with names, photos, google earth addresses, precise dates and descriptions etc etc. Of course, it also helped that i 'anticipated' fall-out and 'rearranged the deck chairs' before the legal beagles got started. also, a close friend of my mother's to whom maman tol everything astutely warned me of trouble looming oop 't mill  by pretty well describing everything that would happen ... giving me time to sort thru the crown jewels before even anything was official. - including announcing plans for the catweazel easel that still awaits collection. so much for all the huffing and puffing and blowing jewel bos down. but piece of work to peace of work, so no huge egos dented ... everyone should revisit their Wills on an annual basis.
