She looks pretty relaxed about it though. <BR/><BR/>The colour is a touch misleading. Slightly deeper and greener than that, without being green. A deep and silky dark turquoise. The house is generally on the richly coloured side, not to mention three walls of self-painted (meaning C and I) murals. If we ever wanted to sell it, according to conventional wisdom, we should cover it all in Magnolia off white.<BR/><BR/>And Norm has corrected me, Noga. Foolish of me. I have of course spoken to him and there wasn't much Oz in the accent now I recall.George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-59369515304064722372008-11-23T16:54:00.000+00:002008-11-23T16:54:00.000+00:00Yes, it is a nice photo of C; looks like someone j...Yes, it is a nice photo of C; looks like someone just rubbed the base of the lamp (on the right) and she appeared like a perfectly composed genie.Mark Granierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899629187771913398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-41763187694947151622008-11-23T16:28:00.000+00:002008-11-23T16:28:00.000+00:00This fat man is a fat woman.

Pic. reminds me. We are going to paint the main room. We have loads of those coloured sqaures that you hold up to the light. No turquoise though. Could I live with it for more than a week?

I'm kind of used to this. In the 1990s, when I shared a flat with my cousin D in Bray, a girl we both knew told us that she'd had to "defend you guys", because lots of people were convinced we were a gay couple (never mind that D had a girlfriend). Both D and I had the same reaction: we thought this consensus hilarious and quite delightful, as if we'd been wearing disguises so brilliant they fooled even ourselves. Sadly though, our friend didn't seem to appreciate the humour. Nor did she act on our suggestion that she send round a couple of her female friends who might be interested in putting their presumption to the test. Anyway, I've already booked my rebirth ticket: I've coming back as a woman, definitely (though probably not for the most PC of reasons).Mark Granierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899629187771913398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-20679428036334158972008-11-23T15:35:00.000+00:002008-11-23T15:35:00.000+00:00Norm is not Australian.
