Grumpy so ....

I'm ill >:(

Not ill enough to warrant any sympathy, so don't waste it, but ill enough to be miserable and grumpy and slop around the place in ill fitting clothes and drifts of damp tissues.

This means I'm generally 'not nice to know' and haven't got anything particularly nice to say so have some of my youtube favourites instead.

Walk on the Wild Side from the BBC.

One Day Like This by Elbow.

Lesson One of 'How to Paint a Still Life'. Watch them - I dare you.

Energy info reduced to terms for the hard of thinking, which is definitely me at the moment.

Speeded up portrait painting - *sigh* such talent. Also dimples!

21 acccents and some of them might even be right.

Not sure what this is but the images are useful.

"Christopher And His Kind" preview just for info. Matt Smith as Christopher Isherwood - nice threads.

I sill now lapse back into drippy silence *goes to make more tea*

Pictures

For the historical fashion fans on my flist daguerreotypes taken in about 1850. There's some super details of hairstyles and clothing - mostly women and children but some blokes too. Doesn't this one look a bit like Christopher Lloyd?
