Bloomin’Marvellous

Gee I had a great day today. Got up slowly – took the kids to school in my pyjamas – don’t worry I didn’t have to get out of the car – came home. Died my hair using that new colour experte stuff from Loreal because I’m worth it and they promised my salon success. Hmmmm. Took a long time to do. Tidied up. Faffed about. Eventually left the house to go looking for an interview outfit…

I was going for a conservative, hip look of a modern late-30- something woman. Something that showed I had some sense of fashion but something that wouldn’t frighten the over ’55s. I ended up paying far too much but I love the skirt and think I have achieved the look I’m after. Rory didn’t hate it which is a first.

Kick bad habits- Every one among us have some cheap cheap viagra bad habits that harm our health. It went so popular in 1998 that within few years, a whole new male sexual health industry bulk tadalafil has taken its shape. The more blood that sildenafil in canada gets there, the easier and harder your erections become. It is a very big blow to the confidence of many purchase levitra men once they begin to suspect that they might be suffering from erectile dysfunction.
However the faffing meant that I was late for my appointment with Mike to get the stuff we need for our Art in Bloom project.

What you (don’t) see in the picture above is the result of much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mostly about the cost of it all but then once we’d got it home well let me start at the beginning.

What we have is a “wet ball” of that green stuff florists use to hold flowers where they want them. Filled with water it weighs about 10kg minimum. But we knew it would be heavy so we wrapped it in chicken wire and then stuck a coathanger through it. Well of course as soon as it got wet the coathanger almost came out! So then we wrapped three more coathangers worth of wire around it.

Then the fake flowers kept falling out despite the expensive spray on glue as recommended to us so we had to stick little bits of wire through them so they would stay on. But in the end I think it looks pretty good.

The painting we are trying to match is a very difficult and thoughtful work by Gordon Bennett, an Aboriginal painter from Queensland who is well known for his political messages. We think – I repeat think – that he’s trying to talk about new life and comparing natural life with artificially creating life.

So we call our work “Birthing the Sun (Son)”. The ball is supposed to represent the sun. Half is covered by artificial flowers – the other half with real flowers (gerberas and hothouse chrissies). Underneath is a round mirror – representing art reflecting life and life reflecting art. Should be head up arse enough for the Art Gallery don’t you think! Set up is Thursday morning. Cocktail party Thursday night. The Art In Bloom Exhibition runs from Friday to Sunday.

BTW: Thank you Abi who became Plan B on Monday… we love you Abi!
