Pp has gone off to a game expo leaving me in command of the Shop on the Borderlands. I fear I am inevitably going to screw something up, and am in suspense as to what it will be ( Read more... )

I ADORE these photos! They are amazing. The art class and the houses are wonderful. I would hate to have to choose my favorite among them.

The house is beautiful! If it's even more medieval in reality, than in photo, then I envy you watching it from time to time.

Wisteria is so lovely, it's a shame it's an invasive species here. It grows all over the southern US and strangles trees.

You might sell someone a painting who was expecting a game...

I really hope I have not sold anyone a game who was expecting a different game with a very similar title! Paintings would be harder to muddle!

I like that house. Here in Moldova they have no respect whatsoever for their old village houses which are practical, look great and fit into the landscape perfectly. They just demolish them and build oversized concrete monstrosities (with no architects / designers involved) and cover them in Chinese vinyl siding. They look awful, they are too big and not practical to live in or often even finish and many end up empty. When we were restoring our house to its former "glory" using the old photos and local craftsmen and modernising it inside and extending it, the locals were very confused and surprised that we did not just demolish the old house and build a four story concrete cube covered in shiny plastic instead. Now Elizabeth is getting her house here renovated and she does it like we did it which confuses the hell out of many locals again.

I suppose we went through something like that here too at one time, which is why the remaining old houses are few and treasured. Fortunate there was less plastic then, though there are still an alarming number of buildings here covered in asbestos!

I wonder what the attraction of plastic siding is, other than it's cheap.
