Autumn Almanac by The Kinks

Autumn Almanac

Written by: Ray Davies

From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,
When the dawn begins to crack.
It's all part of my autumn almanac.
Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow,
So I sweep them in my sack.
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.

Friday evenings, people get together,
Hiding from the weather.
Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun,
Because the summer's all gone.

La-la-la-la...
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.

I like my football on a Saturday,
Roast beef on Sundays, all right.
I go to Blackpool for my holidays,
Sit in the open sunlight.

This is my street, and I'm never gonna to leave it,
And I'm always gonna to stay here
If I live to be ninety-nine,
'Cause all the people I meet
Seem to come from my street
And I can't get away,
Because it's calling me, (come on home)
Hear it calling me, (come on home)

La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn Armagnac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!

Myrna Loy's Tears Fell Like Shards of Jade

Sometimes I like to get all my collage elements for a specific collage from one source.  Today I picked up The Magazine Antiques and found that swell black and white photo of Myrna Loy (note her spectacular star sapphire ring).  Another page featured an ad for beautiful antique jade and diamond jewelry.  Finally I found the gold angel in another advertisement.  Voila!

The Fall

This is a very quickly made 5 minute collage, small 5 x 3 inches.
I'm making these collages as business cards and it is a nice exercise to make them without having the time to think.
It also fits in the previous collage of Fi's Beatles song 'I've seen a face' ;))

falling yes I am falling

Soundtrack for collage: The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face"

The crossing poles are old rusty fence rails from my own backyard.
