I don't think it needs a smile and in fact I don't think that a self portrait can work with a smile because it would be so difficult for the artist/subject to make the smile natural.<BR/><BR/>I hope K is settling into her new school. We all had the same experiences when our daughter started her new school last week, but now she is really enjoying it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-36937113020240771212008-09-12T20:25:00.000+01:002008-09-12T20:25:00.000+01:00It certainly was a good review - I read it, and bo...It certainly was a good review - I read it, and bought the book.

That's a nice pic of Colette: I usually visualise her as a lot older, thanks to a pic in 1944, in a Lee Miller book.<BR/><BR/>Katie came out a lot more cheerfully than she went in, and the second day was less nervous, though we managed to be late owing to having got the times wrong. Not good to be marked late on second day, but so it goes. <BR/><BR/>I haven't found the day going slowly yet, Anji; there seems hardly time to do much before three o' clock comes round again. Maybe things will get more relaxed as time goes on.<BR/><BR/>Car decks are really pongy, aren't they? -I remember the first time I went on a ship I was struck by the almost-overpowering smell of rust and oil and seaweediness, and wondered how you cold live with that all the time. Got used to it in the end. The Cornouailles was taken over by Channel Island Ferries and became Havelet, and I worked on board on and off for some years.

I like the way it gives the impression of looking in more than one direction at once.<BR/><BR/>I hope K was okay.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-38523745003415290122008-09-04T20:26:00.000+01:002008-09-04T20:26:00.000+01:00The artist at work, it reminds me of a picture of ...The artist at work, it reminds me of a picture of Colette, I can't find the one I mean, but here is one:http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/4640/colettemh6.jpg<BR/><BR/>I hope that she had a good day. The house seems empty and the day goes so slowly. I'm on my last year now and shall be glad when it's over and done with for ever.<BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog. The way that you see things and the way you tell 'em.<BR/><BR/>When I was pregnant with Dom we came back from England on the Cornouailles. As soon as we docked I started to throw up. As we had a small car we had to wait for the bigger cars to unload first. the smell of oil and cars was too much for me, they must have thought I was a funny sight, mal de mer on dry land.<BR/><BR/>Still holding hands...Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.com
