Completely bonkers.

 Last Sunday I did not wake up with any intention of buying a painting. As you can see below things didn't quite pan out that way.


My lovely friend Nurse Lin has just painted this and the moment I saw it my gut instinct screamed that I needed it. This in itself is quite a rare occurrence as I really am quite disciplined about buying stuff, but what I have learnt over the years is to heed such an authentic reaction as it's my true self prodding me. It won't be to everyone's taste, but it will hang happily in my hall [it's too lairy for my other rooms and would clash horribly] where I can see it and enjoy one of my favourite quotes. GBT is full of the weird and wonderful and this latest addition will blend in perfectly. I do hope you all enjoy your very own version of an entirely bonkers weekend....particularly at times like this it's important that we look after ourselves and do more of what we love. If you want something to make you smile might I be so bold as to suggest that you take a quick look at the tweets that Aldi UK put out...they are hilarious.

  1. With you on entirely bonkers - but not sure that all the best people have a mortgage on bonkers. It seems to have been shared with some complete morons as well.
