humming the blues with Happinez and in good company

yesterday there was some interesting mail
in fact, quite a lot had drifted in whilst i was
across the wild blue yonder
 some of it even had bears on it
i like bears
one of the parcels contained a lovely magazine from France
it is not often that i see my name on the same page
as Albert Einstein
[even though he and my paternal grandfather were acquainted and 
Einstein's efforts on my grandfather's behalf in 1939 
contributed to our family's settling in South Australia, but that's another story ]
or
across from Jamie Oliver
or a scant 47 pages away from Paulo Coelho
but
what really made me happy
was that they had also published an image of my friend Roz's work
[they used mostly images that had appeared in Second Skin]
which brings me to the other bit of news

 Roz and i have dreamed up a new plan
[we had one earlier but the fates intervened]
we are calling it 
and you can wear your blue jeans
if you want

  6. I love the name BOWER BIRDS BLUE... I did a post once on bower birds and their proclivity to collect -- like us! I went over to the link and loved all the blue images.

  7. Interesting snippet about Grandfather and Einstein. Will you write an autobiography one day? I love all your stories.

    1. it may eventually appear, thinly disguised as a novel...so that i may include that classic disclaimer

      "Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental."
