Finally we have some sunshine although it keeps disappearing behind clouds and we are forecast rain later (boo!). It is a warmer 22C/72F which is a relief as I was back in a sweater and wearing socks yesterday (bare feet FTW!).

I have a book recommendation for anyone who loved The Martian by Andy Weir - his latest book is called Hail Mary and I've ( Read more... )

Pre WWII Dad had wanted to be a commercial artist - but his parents wouldn't sign the paperwork to let him stay on at school after the age of 14. As the war started a year later it was accedemic anyway!

My Mum and Dad met at art school.

Do you have any of your dad’s work?

kazzy_cee July 8 2021, 16:35:55 UTC

Not his artwork as it was all commercial stuff that had to go back to the companies. I have some of his pottery that he did as a hobby :)

It is at least something from his artistic hands. Are familiar with the companies he worked for and thus able to recognize his work?

Not really - I know he did a few of the Tomy toy box illustrations and some of the adverts he added things to. The one that lives on is the illustration of Joan Hickson that he drew for the series of Miss Marple TV programmes.

Sounds as if your dad's career was very interesting.

I loved the film of The Martian but I haven't read the book.

The book is great if you know much about the Mars Rovers and biology experiment explanations etc as he explains how he technically survived in simple science.

It was an interesting job I think.

I guess you got your artistic telents from your father then?

Probably my Mum as well - she was a fashion illustrator.

I was considering socks yesterday - but stayed barefooted as it warmed up a bit. Today we are looking at a calm 19C or so, which is warm feeling to us if there is no breeze.

It doesn’t feel like summer if I have to wear socks and shoes ….. today we are forecast 23 but more rain this afternoon *sigh*
