of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

stop press: bourbonista gentrification of the ashburton estates gathering momentum ...
... in other words, we have moved to the new place
there are several large trees on each side of our block, we live on the third floor, on a level with the middle of the larger trees ... perhaps the best is a big cedar of lebanon which makes an excellent squirrel playground, and which is the subject of noisy territorial disputes between the crows and the songbirds ... groups of vivid emerald green himalayan parakeets also drop in occasionally ... i've been watching it all through the binoculars with great delight
Looks good. Is the hat part of the decor?
ReplyDeletethe red handkerchief proudly displays the bourbon fleur-de-lys
ReplyDeletei bought it in the souvenir shop at the monasterio de las huelgas outside burgos in september 2007
the shop seemed to cater for the more conservative and pious sort of customer than yer average truck driver
i'm wearing it in the hope that some good old-fashioned spanish virtues might rub off on me
Congrats, Tris...looks like some kind of view for Central London!!
