Well done to you!<br /><br />I love Heloise's self portrait. She has kind of painted herself warts and all but as she is rather beautiful what that means is that she has painted in a style that gives added interest. It's a great, pretty intense painting that I would love to have on my wall. I love that she concentrates on faces - I always loved faces too but I gave up. The other painting of hers I really like is Chris Eubank. She is talented isn't she? Thanks for showing her work.<br /><br />Totally agree with you on the benefits thing. Doctors sign people off work - what are they liars? It makes me really mad that we pick on the most vulnerable. Radio and written press has been rife with nonsense about 'scroungers' and really I can't bear it anymore. It is no coincidence that abuse of disabled people has gone up. I hope people who write/spout this stuff are ashamed of themselves. There are not enough jobs around for everyone, so penalising people who can't get one and are able-bodied is wrong too. For those sick and in pain and who need accommodating and caring employers (do they exist), the idea of punishing them with punitive measures is just hideous. But don't worry. We are all in it together! I am not disabled in anyway and currently I don't know anyone personally effected but that doesn't mean I shouldn't and don't care. I am glad you do and I am glad that you have said so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-56611834191063034442011-06-20T15:32:06.219-07:002011-06-20T15:32:06.219-07:00Wonderful publishing - I suspect Dad's shirt n...Wonderful publishing - I suspect Dad's shirt never looked so good (and a great way to celebrate Father's Day, if you do that sort of thing in England).Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-43252156848086810832011-06-20T13:59:36.103-07:002011-06-20T13:59:36.103-07:00Congrats on the magazine article.

I'm guessing it is all going to pass through the Lords but we can be hopeful they will do the humane thing and kick it back for amendment.

I am impressed & delighted for you. The pillows look fabulous -- your father's shirt made the ultimate sacrifice but it is all worth it for his daughter To Be Published.<br /><br />I am wishing I could go away for a weekend to a hotel with floral wallpaper. Or actually any kind of wallpaper. Or maybe even just beige paint and forgettable pictures...Marushka C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15501083029600186860noreply@blogger.com
