Heyheyhey! I'm going to pretend that I don't know anything about retina screens for the moment, because time's been tight, and the best workaround seems to be starting a new blog elsewhere, and that's something I need to spend a good chunk of time doing, and there's never enough of it at this end of the year. So, in the mean time, here's a phone pic from a morning stroll to the Ladies Pond on Hampstead Heath last week, with my friend Z who was in town. I've started winter swimming this year; I saw <a href="https://vimeo.com/300791717"><b>this film</b></a>, and decided with a friend that it was something we should try, and it's been an amazing experience. When we started in September it was +21c degrees in the water, and I've swum a couple of times a week since then, with +4 degrees being the coldest that I've experienced so far - and it's been totally fine! Which, if you knew me, you'd find improbable as I'm always the coldest person in the room, but for some reason cold water isn't a problem. There's a strict no phones policy at the Ladies Pond, which I think is great, so I haven't been able to take pictures. Anyways, I got to rush off now, but hopefully I'll be back before the end of the year!famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-60073823323936724162019-11-07T16:13:00.002+00:002019-11-07T16:13:53.278+00:00Greetings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey folks, just want to say that I'm still here, but am having all sorts of technical fudging crap going on behind the scenes with Blogger, Photoshop and a new computer (as well as retina screens - I had no idea!). I also can't reply to comments, nor does it seem that you guys can leave them if you're on a newish computer, so it's all a bit quiet here. Hopefully it will all get resolved soon; I'm googling the best that I can to try and figure it out, but I feel 136 years old and out of the loop with all the new internet/computer stuff that's happened since I last got a computer. If you have thoughts/solutions/experience that you could enlighten me with, please shoot me an email (find it through my user profile). I hope you're well and that I can resume posting here soon, as I have heaps of pictures to post. Peace out, and hope to be back sooner than soon!

I thought it was about time that I started a Buddy series, just like I used to do with our old cat <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/25995140@N00/albums/72157594510483261"><b>Little Mo</b></a>. I used to take a ridiculous amount of pictures of her, and it struck me the other day that I hardly ever take pics of Buddy. I don't know why, as he's a much more social cat, but maybe it's just as a result of me generally forgetting to take pictures, especially at home. Well, me thinks it's time to change that.famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-27327074292902959282019-10-01T15:03:00.001+01:002019-10-02T08:08:56.994+01:00Signs of the times<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back in June, President Trump was in town for a couple of days, and Londoners were not happy about it. Since then things have gone very strange politically in this country, and we're just waiting and waiting (and have been for the past three years) to see what's in store for us. My mum was visiting from France when this demonstration happened, and when I suggested we go down and check it out, she was a bit apprehensive. "Don't worry, the Brits don't protest like the French do!" I told her. I wasn't wrong.famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-74009862172638734862019-09-29T06:00:00.000+01:002019-09-30T10:55:37.364+01:00Green days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know I'm not currently blogging in real time right? That I'm perpetually behind? Good, because as we all know, it's now autumn here in the northern hemisphere, and it's not quite this green here anymore. In May we went to my father-in-law's place in the Cotswolds for a couple of nights, with friends, and it was so GREEN! Just wanted to reiterate that in case you missed it 😜famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-6174728099141846262019-09-27T14:41:00.000+01:002019-09-27T14:41:10.457+01:00York randoms<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just a couple of days after getting back from Paris, it was time to hop on yet another train, but this time going north, to York, and hang out with our ex- London friends who now live there. Even though it's sad when friends move away, it's nice to be able to discover a new place, and to spend more concentrated time together. Last year when we were there in October it was really cold, so it was nice to be there in spring this time. </div>

I didn't know anything about him, but from just having a quick look at the gallery website, before our trip, I knew we HAD TO go. His pictures are something else. So clean and graphic (some very <i>graphic</i>), shot with a point and shoot nothing fancy compact film camera on regular Fujicolour 200. Seeing how he worked, usually in his tiny bedroom, and more or less winging it during shoots was fascinating.

We also made it to the <a href="https://www.domusweb.it/en/biographies/gio-ponti.html"><b>Gio Ponti</b></a> exhibition at the<b><a href="https://madparis.fr/en/"> Musee des Arts Decoratifs</a> </b>on our last day. Same thing here, didn't know much about him, but came away with huge respect for his talent and productivity. He designed buildings, furniture, ceramics, silverware, and interiors amongst other things, as well as sending really cool letters to friends and family (2nd from last picture). He truly was a jack of all trades - master of all.

I mean, it's now exactly five months since I was in Paris - the <i>first time </i>this year. For reals, because we've been back again (en famille), during the time it's taken me to blog from my initial trip. Alors, here's a random selection of pictures from Pareee - the April edition! Usually when we travel, we stay in Airb'n'bs, but it's been real nice to have stayed in hotels a bit more recently. Staying in a twin room with my friend Z was great (sharing a room with a pal as an adult makes you feel like a kid again, doesn't it? I likes it. Although it helps if you keep the same hours, haha!); so here's Z at rest, the view from our room (how cool are those colourful tiles?!) and me trying to get some circulation back in my legs 'cause all them 17 000 steps or whatever we did a day really hammered my legs. Luckily my Blundstones are suuuuuper comfy, so it's all good.</span></td></tr>

These last three are from Jardins des Tuileriers, where we had our last lunch before we headed home on our trains. So strange to see spring here now, when IRL we're speeding towards autumn! I'll be back soon with more. This delay in blogging effects my picture taking - I don't carry my camera with me anymore, and I feel sad about that.

Sure, <a href="https://www.chassenature.org/en/"><b>Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature</b></a> (the Hunt and Nature museum) might not sound like an obvious place to visit, but I have been using <a href="https://monocle.com/shop/print/travel-guides/"><b>Monocle's travel guides</b></a> in several cities now, and totally trust their suggestions, one of which was this place. It didn't disappoint. I am by no means pro-hunting or a lover of stuffed animals, but if you check this place out yourself next time you're in Paris, I'm sure you'll understand (although make it there towards the end of 2020, as it's now shut for refurbishment) why it's so interesting. It's in a beautiful grand old house, where each room is themed by animals, and mixes the old with works by contemporary artists. It's also a not very known place, so it was nice and quiet when we went. Do you seek out the less obvious places when you travel? What's the most interesting place you've been to this year? I'd love to hear!famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-63261575006991137922019-08-17T06:00:00.000+01:002019-08-17T06:00:04.497+01:00Paris people, dogs and a cat<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Merde. I'm four months behind... I guess I can claim I live the slow life - at least here, haha! But I'm sure you're used to it by now, and it's still the holidays, soooooooo... Back to Paris then! These pics are from <a href="http://www.hallesaintpierre.org/"><b>Halle Saint Pierre</b></a>, a gallery dedicated to Art Brut, aka outsider art.

The first five shots are from the <a href="http://www.hallesaintpierre.org/2019/02/01/chicago-foyer-dart-brut/"><b>Chicago Art Brut exhibition</b> </a>which was all kinds of wonderful (I've linked to biogs about the artists below the pictures, but please note both exhibitions that I mention have already finished). The last three were from the <a href="http://www.hallesaintpierre.org/tag/hey-modern-art-pop-culture/"><b>Hey! Modern Art & Pop Culture exhibition </b></a>they had upstairs, but I didn't really pay attention to who the artists were as we were pretty tired by then.

After we saw the Hammershoi exhibition we checked out the rest of what <a href="https://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en/home"><b>Musée Jacquemart-André </b></a>had to offer, and it didn't disappoint. It reminded me a lot of <a href="https://www.wallacecollection.org/"><b>the Wallace Collection</b></a> here in London; a fancy house with someone's (who was insanely wealthy and liked collecting art and artefacts) private collection now open to the public. It's so hard to imagine that people once lived there, as it does just feel like a museum when you're there. It's so awesome that the likes of me and you can now go and look at parts of cultural history whenever we want, and be transported to another world and life, and get a little breather from the here and now.famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-75378038369145560502019-05-18T06:00:00.000+01:002019-05-20T16:30:31.816+01:00Good things come to those who wait<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know when you mean to go to an exhibition and you don't go straight away and think that you'll get round to it, and then you forget all about it, and as a result miss it? Well, Wilhelm Hammershoi's London exhibition about <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2008/jul/11/art"><b>11 years ago</b></a> was one of those for me. I've waited and waited for a new one to come, with no luck, and then finally, a few months ago, I read that there one was coming to Paris this spring. Z and I had started dreaming of a Paris trip back in September when I was visiting her in Amsterdam, and reading about <a href="https://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en/node/2162"><b>the Hammershoi exhibition</b></a> gave us the time of year we should go. And, of course it didn't disappoint (although it was <i>very</i> busy). I came across my first Hammershoi picture here in London a couple of years ago at the National Gallery, and I think I wrote about it here that I actually started crying when I saw it (picture 5 here), which was a surreal experience, but I felt that picture so strongly. The stillness in it spoke to me, and seeing the subject (Hammershoi's wife Ida) from behind like that, made me think of how I never post the faces of my nearest and dearest, and as a result tend to shoot them from behind. I'm also a huge fan of paintings of domestic scenes, capturing everyday life, something that Hammershoi mostly painted. These paintings are quite small in real life, which adds to the non-grandness of them. They were mostly painted in the late 1800's, and Hammershoi painted mainly scenes from his own apartment, editing out most of the furniture and only painting what he thought necessary. A minimalist in other words... If you find yourself in Paris before the 22nd of July I urge you to go, and book the tickets in advance, as the queue was pretty long. I'm so grateful that I finally got to see a selection of his paintings, even if the wait was 11 years in the making.famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-27721704344773631582019-05-15T06:00:00.000+01:002019-05-15T06:00:14.665+01:00Bear necessities <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These bears were in loads of the shop/restaurant/bar windows in the 13th arrondissement where our hotel in Paris was. I think we saw at least 20 different ones, and there must have been plenty more of them, but I didn't think to take pictures of them all until it was too late. We could easily have asked the receptionist in the hotel what it was all about, but we thought it more fun to not find out, and just enjoy them at face value, completely out of context. A little mystery in this day and age can only be a good thing.famapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12494694152565336579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6100372394699063953.post-82144008684427388912019-05-13T16:42:00.000+01:002019-05-15T13:38:16.717+01:00Bonjour Paris!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Blimey... this space seems to be turning into a travel blog! It's not my intention at all, but just a combination of me not bringing my camera with me every day, and a month where I went on three trips. I even squeezed in a very short trip to Stockholm between Venice and Paris, but I only took about 10 pictures, none worth posting here. Anyways, just before Easter I hopped on the train to Paris, whilst one of my favourite people, Z, hopped on a Paris bound train in Amsterdam, arriving 15 minutes apart in Gare du Nord. We were there for three days, just the two of us (walking over 83 000 steps!), seeing five exhibitions, eating lots of delicious food, taking hundreds of pictures and developing serious crushes on the French capital. It's been well over 15 years since I've been there properly, and so much has changed. It might be a case of me projecting here, what with Brexit looming and all, but Paris felt optimistic, buzzing, and full of life. There's also been a generational shift, so now pretty much everyone speaks English (and happily so), although I insisted with persisting with my now quite rusty French. <br /><br />We stayed at <a href="https://hotelhenriette.com/en/"><b>Hotel Henriette</b></a>, which was just as <i>sympa</i> as we had hoped it would be, so we checked in, dumped our bags and got our cameras ready.</span></td></tr>

As it was, it was fun just walking around looking at things (and out of windows, because that's what we do), and I left empty handed. In fact, during the whole trip I just bought some postcards and a poster... For the past few years I've bought something ceramic as a souvenir from wherever I've been, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a very nice ceramic cup from Merci for 13 euros.

It's a shame you can't see from my pic the small scale of these, but the larger examples above the original pieces of glass are enlarged photos so you can see the detail properly. It was almost impossible to make the portraits out with the naked eye. <a href="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/06/sliced-glass-paintings-and-portraits-by-loren-stump/"><b>Here's a modern example</b></a> of the same technique by <a href="https://www.stumpchuck.com/"><b>Loren Stump</b></a>.</span></td></tr>
