Friday, Saturday and Sunday - A very big blog

Yes, I know - He's off the internet for a few days and then we get a torrent. It's been a big weekend starting from Friday.

Sue has a twin brother and sister. It was their birthdays on Friday. We were invited for a drink to my 67 year young brother in-law's home. At 8.00 pm it was still reasonably light. I wandered out into their garden to discover the most amazing growth of green and colour. Their garden has no real structure (to me) but comes together as a bit of a wonderland. Everchanging with the seasons.

I don't know what this plant is but if we are lucky, they might leave a comment.

Their garden is occasionally decorated with the odd piece of whimsy.



For whom the bell tolls.



Down the side of their house a natural micro climate offers a perfect spot for these ferns.

Saturday came and I was out the door to my first track (that's cycle on the Velodrome) session in 4 months since my little back injury. I was elated to be back but exhausted at the end of 3 hours of intensive training. Then it was back home to go shopping with Sue to buy ingredients for the nights dinner - now I have to say that shopping is not my favourite past time but eating is. Sue had a special 3 course meal in mind but it was reduced back to only two. Maybe the main course will be for Sunday night.



King prawns for dinner before cooking.



I just quickly popped them into salted boiling water for a minute or two. All they needed was a squeeze of lemon and some mayo and sweet chilli sauce for dipping. Can't get better than that!

They were very yummy - and filling so the main course was reserved for Sunday's night dinner.



Cacky looking photo, but tasted really good. Leon was still hungry after the prawns, so I made a quick caramel sauce with brown sugar, butter and a little cream, and warmed some mango and strawberries in it and slathered it over a couple of fluffy, American style pancakes.


After dinner we sat down to watch the Kevin Costner movie "Field of Dreams""
Build it and he will come..
How I love sports movies, they always bring a tear to my eye.



And I also had time to mow the lawns - well it's not a huge job as you can see!

 A sunday ride and coffee with the boys and girls saw me back home to go shopping - Oh no, not again. Yes but this time for weather boards to be replace the rotting ones at the back of the house. Job done when Sue said, "time to make pasta."


We had rotting weather boards.
 Strangely it's not our 80 year old boards but our 20 year old ones needing replacing this weekend.
I hear the haunting voice saying, they dont build them as the used to. How true.



The beetroots



Beetroot and goat's cheese entree



Sue started me off on the pasta making but then I took over.
I think this could be my future role in kitchen life.



Ït was so much Yummmmmm!
Salmon and pasta.

 I have to say that Leon did a great job with the pasta. He's helped me once before, but he pretty much did it all this time. I made a sauce to go with it. Reduced some white wine with shallots, added some chicken stock, then pesto and a touch of cream, then lightly poached same salmon in it. Yummo.
Back to the salads during the week after all that cream this weekend though!

Ánd that was our weekend - and yours???

Really looking forward to sharing our second trip to France with you next Wednesday.

How to Become a Professional Graffiti Artist?

Graffiti is an art image that is very interesting a lot of people of some classes or types of age, do not know of a caste. Everything is free and belong to the public. Art that was born and existed since ancient times has a different character from the other arts, even a bunch of graffiti painting too still looks different. One of the graffiti art which is phenomenal in this era is Banksy. Therefore, many people who want to learn and make graffiti so that later can be like Banksy who has been legendary as a graffiti artist street. Then how do I become a graffiti artist? Yes this is the future that I will discuss and describe.

While graffiti is associated with vandalizing other people's property, it has evolved into an art form in and of itself. As such, here's how you can explore graffiti both legally and creatively.

1. Buy some paper and carry it with you at all times. Note that most artists have what's called a black book where they practice their work.
2. Choose a name that you would like to write and stick to it. Remember to look around for someone with the same name (words like face, ghost, king, demon, blaze, perk etc. are all common names). If you want to be really original come up with a longer word that is more cunning and perhaps relates to you or your work.
3. Look for inspiration in your city and on the internet, but do not directly copy anything you see; this will brand you as a toy [meaning a new artist who gets no respect] for a long time. This is also called "biting" which is a graffiti term for copying someone else's work. Biting is okay for your first graff piece just as long as you do not take the credit for it.
4. After months/weeks of practice and sketching, buy some permanent markers or make your own and begin tagging.
5. Work your way up to stickers, stencils or doing throw ups [a form of graffiti].
6. Meet other artists of your skill and of greater skill. You can learn from your superiors in this subculture and help your equals.
7. Always RESEARCH!! Try Researching people such as UTI CREW LOS ANGELES Researching styles can help you to understand the history of graffiti and different style.
8. Look on Amazon and search for DVDs on "Learn How To Do Graffiti" these will help you very much, look for the DVDs with a step by step section on how to draw & paint your design.

Political Art of Banksy Graffiti, London UK

Talk about Banksy Graffiti will never-ending. Virtually Banksy graffiti is an art of politics in a character. Talk and argue through the image so that it would be understood by many people, as well as a beauty. But many think that Banksy is an illegal and forbidden things, but it only partially. This is what makes Banksy is so controversial, but because it also just makes it that makes something art is phenomenal. What can you say to assess Banksy graffiti?
"Awesome and Amazing"

St Kilda Junction - Pre War

Most days of the week I pass through St Kilda Junction, now just a wide expanse of road and traffic lights. Cars converge from many angles fighting for their particular lane on their way to and from inner Melbourne  city.
I'm old enough to vaguely remember what it was like before now, but only as a child in the back seat of my parent's car.
I found some old photographs on the internet courtesy of the National Library of Australia and so I have posted them for Funky Friday.


Check out the trams - we still have them running here but the old hotel is gone to widen the road.



And at one time, this was the view from the very top of the Hotel
looking down St Kilda Parade to Marvelous Melbourne.
