Commercial Break

Friday 30th July 2010

If you follow this blog, along with having been blessed with impeccable taste, you will be aware that a collection of misfortunes have been visited on me in recent weeks.
To generate some cashflow, and associated happiness in the Bank/client relationship I have decided to have a Summer Sale evening on Friday 30th July 2010 where we will be offering artwork from our own stock at discounts of up to 50% off. If you are interested in picking up an art bargain including Traditional to Contemporary originals and signed limited edition prints, make sure you are at the Gallery between 6pm and 8pm
See www.galleryinthesquare.net for directions, location etc. Please come and buy, its for a good cause.........

Me!

Hows the Dog?

Like one of those Saturday morning cinema dramas, I cunningly left you with a real eastenders duff duff duff duff moment, keeping you on the edge of your seats - you probably havnt slept, your nails are down to the quick and you have probably been so preoccupied that you havnt even given Kerry Katonas new romantic tryst another thought.
I was hit by a car!

I know what you are thinking.


Having been hit by said car and dragging myself to the nearest house, the occupant I woke with my persistant banging asked the question.
The nurse that triaged me asked the question. The rather too polite Indian Doctor who examined my xrays asked the question, even the porter who wheeled me around asked the question. My Mother asked the question, the Policeman who took down the details and told me that it was officially an incident and not a crime, asked the question. I havnt told the man who cleans our wheelie bin, but I would lay money on the fact that having heard my story he would also ask the question...............
Hows the Dog?

Well hes fine. Obviously hes not being hampered by his arm being in a sling, or his foot being in a cast, or his body being black and blue, or his every move causing pain and unreasonable discomfort, but hes absolutely fine...............thanks for asking!


By the way, if you were driving a small black car at 7am on Thursday 15th July in the lane around my house, and you want to confess to hitting me, please feel free.

Where theres blaim theres a claim

Firstly following my last post I was mildly rebuked by JonnyB for describing him as ruddy faced, apparently whilst there is no doubting that he has a face it is apparently devoid of ruddiness.

A seemingly unbelievable course of events have conspired this week to test my resolve on the theories of Karma. They are so unbelievable that I feel more like a writer of fiction than that of a blog, and it is probably going to end up sounding like one of those stories that newspapers run when there is no real news "hilarious insurance claims!", or like a synopsis of the next three episodes of "My Family"
I booked a holiday for myself and my two daughters to sunnier climes (so far ,so good). A week out i develop an abcess in my gum and aquire a large area of swelling to one side of my face - I am half man half Hamster, cue much attempts at hilarity at the engagement party we had rsvpd
to attend.
Then came the death of the family rabbit, too gruesome too detail in a family blog, but suffice to say it was enough to cause a damper on the excitement of the upcoming holiday. But we are made of sterner stuff, we can suffer rogue dental inflictions with stoicism, we can face bereavement with Churchillian spirit. So the day of the holiday arrives.........
I walk the dog, and get hit by a car!
