Lets face it…

It does not take much to get me excited on a sunny Friday afternoon.

But the new Justin Timberlake single available for some sort of illegal download here (thank you popbitch):

It’s fantastic… I think I am just about to be able to admit that I bought his first album… it was a dark secret for a while but I think I can safely admit it now… baby steps…

It’s the bread and butter festival summer edition is here again… lots of parties going on and promotions and velvet ropes… I wonder if I will manage to muster up the energy to partake in some of the festivities.

New arrivals

My cousin and his wife have given birth to a lovely baby boy named Owen. He arrived last week and marks the first great grandchild for my grandparents and the first new addition to my family in nearly 12 years! Clever lad... he managed to win the first grandchild to marry and the first to produce a great grandchild in one foul swoop! The pressure if off the rest of us now!

In his honour I have tracked down one of my favorite clip from a mike myers film that my cousin often quotes from... enjoy it here.

Summer hours have started here which means in theory we work from 8h to 15h... we will try and see if that trick works today... with a fussy client who refuses to acknowledge the timetable I am sure it will be a bit of a push...

I got started on my newest painting this weekend and monday/tuesday as I was at home trying to calm down my lateset onset of athsma... watch this space... no more animals this time around... looks like I have skirted back to naked ladies once again... this is a large 90x90 canvas...thus this lady is nearly life sized... I did cut myself quite a challenge as this piece includes hands... lets just say that even if I can paint teeth... hands are a VERY different story. Odds are 10-1 that they end up looking like lobster claws... (trust me you should see them now)... note to self... hide hands in pieces!
