Cooking Up A Storm...........................Energy Foods

Dinners served.

 I made the frog one first but then decided I wasn’t entirely happy with it so made the star fish one..

It kept me amused…I think the little girls face says it all.

Theme Of The Week...........................Cooking Up A Storm

This weeks theme is food and and cooking in all its many forms. We have recently discovered the delights of the air fryer so have been enjoying fish fingers and burgers cooked up in record time. Hoping this will save on the gas bill! We shall see. Anyway - have fun!

I tried contact lenses but I prefer my Gregory Pecks.

OLD TECH vs. NEW TECH -- typewriters vs. computers

Collaged on an antique book cover is a ROYAL manual typewriter that came in some new-fangled colors when it was manufactured back in the day. The girls, lending their vintage presence, are from an antique stash of paper I purchased years ago at a Paris flea market. 

All that said,  for my career I worked as a keyline/pasteup artist & typesetter AND as a secretary (primarily dictaphone). I am a very fast typist (clocked in at 125 words per minute back in the day -- average typing speed is around 50 WPM) and the first time I encountered a computer with a screen situation (I remember it like it was yesterday) I froze. By the end of the day I knew I could never go back to my IBM Selectric or the ROYAL manual clunker I learned on in secondary school!

Old Tech v. New Tech.......................................Sketchbook Pages

Old tech/new tech

 No matter which era we are born into we think we are the bees knees and have the best tech going..the sharpest flint which sliced through a mammoth must have amazed at first…

I am very pleased I was born into the age of central heating, sat navs and automatic washing machines…my favourite technology.

But I am also very pleased I don’t have to ride a Penny farthing!
