my life as a frog
Sunday morning, Paris. We've just been down to Parc Citroën - a new park on the site of the old Citroën factory on the river ten minutes walk from where we live. I got "her indoors" to take a few piccies of Charlie and his dickhead Father. Nice morning until some little schizo guy thought I was taking photos of him and rambled on about "the secret service...and it was important to him...and why are you taking my photograph" and other crazy shit. I was ready to punch him into the duckpond but Cécile spoke to him gently and he ended up apologising and going away. These other photos are of the Metro stop - "Javel" with the leaning tower of Pisa in the background. Again, about ten minutes from where we are. You can see a glimpse of la Seine on the left of the shot.![]()

lounge room with one of my paintings hanging on the wall and an extremely ugly orange plastic stool that I use for getting into the cupboards and wish I'd moved out of frame. To the kitchen I built with oak ("chene") floor and benchtop - everything tight like a galley on a boat. ![]()
oak floor & benchtop. We've just sold this little flat. I shall miss it. But I shan't miss not having enough room to swing a cat. ![]()

You want Pain Chesty????? Try carrying the heavy end of a fridge down 7 flights of stairs and then going back up and down those stairs about forty times with boxes and other assorted crap. The lounge was tops fun too. Is 29 too young to get plastic knees??
