Control

We saw Control last night. Pretty decent movie; beautiful atmosphere.

I guess that it came out last year and is based off 'Touching From a Distance' by Deborah Curtis. So, the focus is as much on the Curtis' as on Joy Division.

There is a film Joy Division that is out (?) or out soon which looks good - maybe a bit better rounded.

Durham Cathedral

We received a lovely postcard from my mother today. She had been out to Durham Cathedral and writes:
'This door-knocker on Durham Cathedral was made in 1300 AD. People who knocked could take sanctuary for 30 days and either arrange to stand trial or go into exile.'

Where's the sailboat?

Okay, so I tried to make this picture more interesting by putting a cormorant drying it's wings on a rock in the foreground. I had to get rid of it though, because it just ended up looking like a slug working it's way across the corner. Guess I need to practice my bird close-ups.

Anyhow, I like the direction it's heading, but it's a bit dull. So, I added a sailboat - can you find it on the horizon? Any other suggestions? I thought about ruins or a lighthouse on one of the islands, but that seems a bit too cliche. Maybe I'll just paint a giant sea squid coming to get the little boat. Hmnnnn....

Sidekick

I must share my new-found powers.
Clovis, come help me fight evil! Clovis, don't lay down!
Okay, Wonder Pup is training up by licking his paws now. Just you watch out bad guys - after Clovis, I mean Wonder Pup, is done with his nap, he's going to back me up...

The power

Now, with my new bullet-reflecting bracelet, I truly am Wonder Woman...

A new beginning

My dear friends Stacie and Kimon heard of my lethargy and took action. They knew that my powers would all return with a little reminder of the childhood years I had in Saturday morning training...Thanks Guys!

Weakness

I was a lost soul: A weak housewife dancing around the house to bad 80's tunes and in need of a shower...
