cunningham flies again

[DaSwede]

(This is a rerun of a question I asked a while back in the main category. Didn't get any replies there - could it be that the real buffs dwell in subcategories only? Sorry to be such a pain in the proverbial but I really want that poster - if indeed it exists.)

I used to own a black-and-white photo postcard from a Martha Graham production where dancer Merce Cunningham comes flying through the air in one giant leap. A woman (Graham?) sits at her desk in a jaded pose studying his flight toward her as if she were assessing his flying techniques rather than anticipating his company. Cunningham's body is cram full with energy, he's like a spring just released; looking at the picture you feel he must surely bounce once he lands.

I'd love to have this photo on my wall as a poster but haven't been able to find it. I'm good at advanced googling but search engines do provide different results in different countries - so if you're in the mood for some googling and you don't live in Sweden...

Robi we are the in crowd!!
The barbys around us all smell of cheap sausdages and burgers...all except ours. My DH is a bit of a barby impresario and the food he produces is amazing....chicken Tikka, superb steaks and his griddled asparagus....well I have to stop there cos the drool is all over the keys.
A heavy day here too with thunder this morning so we took ourselves off to town....a quick shop in marks, then coffee and cake in starbucks which is in a borders bookstore so of course you have to browse the maggies and buy something (fabulously expensive american scrapbook mag in my case)

Dh has been called in to work so I am here key bashing and listening to the dogs snore

[shaneystar2]

Well Woofie you can send Mr W round here to teach BBQ Bill and his tribe how to BBQ properly please .I don't mind the smell of a bit of steak wafting in my direction..but this lot are unbelieveable ..Think Tessie O'Shea ( mind you that's
an insult to a great artist but I'm talking of size here )and mountain man and assorted small mountains . covered in tattoos with mouths like foghorns ...... and language even my old Dad would have been shocked at .

Blimey shaney..didnt know robinia was staying at your place..(:O)
whoosh>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[jno]

ooh yes, woofgang, send a kebab my way please, I just don't seem to have the knack with BBQs. Something genetic, probably

[shaneystar2]

Ha ha ha ..that lot over the back from me seem to be made from kebab meat .They are ..quite frankly ..foul ! This afternoon the poor chap who lives next door to them was mowing his lawn whilst being subjected to the most vile abuse whilst his poor wife was stood in the doorway looking as if she was going to have a nervous breakdown .They are the neighbours from hell .At least I have a few fair yards between us and them and them but a lot of us at at the end of our tether . They also had dogs which they mistreated but the poor bloomin' things are gone now ..hopefully to a better home .These are not the sort of people one would wish to have any contact with whatsoever .

<frisbees a burnt burger at Vinny> > > > >>

ooh not the dreaded bbq's! I seemed to have escaped that torture this weekend but we had the mother of all thunderstorms at teatime so that probably put the dampers on one or two rancid ranges. I think they've all been too busy with the mystery garage grinding activities.
I'll be in with your crowd woofy if that's the menu at your abode...I've never had girdled asparagus. (missed you when you were away - I had to sing all the lonely goatherd parts by myself)

jno if that was gardening I dreamt about I've been doing it very wrong for a long time....there were several rakes actually, all in posh suits - I don't go to any old dives in my dreams ya know....

No Foyle tonight, je suis d�sol�....might watch the Jane Austen thingy.
Just time for a musical interlude...grab your air instruments - shaney you're on cymbals - and I'll conduct with me knitting needles
YO

[shaneystar2]

Ooooh one of my favourites ....ELO ..ace !
No rain here as yet ..but I have knitted four more squares whilst watching John Nettles rescue people from the guillotine ..isn't he sweet ....he's all cuddly... But my heartthrob Micheal Kitchen is sorely missed ... je suis aussi d�sol�...I recorded the Jane Austen thingy to watch during the week ..there is booger all else on apart from from Whirlygig Dan .
Having a Roy Orbison moment at the moment ....nite nite all xx

So you're all living next door to the barbequers from hell... Get this: The people living on the ground floor have built a barbecutorium almost beneath my window!!!!! And me I live on the second floor!! In-effin'-credible, can you believe it.

I've had a lovely weekend and now there's the devil to pay - budget's strained and the old aches and pains are upset - walking does me good but not all that much walking. But, nevertheless - it's been great. Apart from one very light shower of rain (followed by such a beautiful rainbow), the weather's been incredible - it's summer!

The Master And Margarita wasn't a good production on the whole (poor director methinks) but there was a band and a couple of singers on stage all the time and one of the singers, a West African man named Mamadou Sene, was amazing - remember where you hoid it the foist time. After the play I punched one of my best friends on the nose, ha ha ha ha ha! I did! We were standing at the cloak room and I was flailing my arms around wildly like I always do when trying to get my coat on (so lady-like) when my good old friend suddenly leaned forward into my space saying "Pardon?" to one of the others who had addressed her. The one leaning forward is the one I've mentioned before who has very poor eyesight and man she did not see me coming!!

Tell you more the next time, I'm really beat right now. Robinia it's great to have you back where you should be. <Just remember not to lean forward in front of me from now on and I think we'll have these sudden headaches of yours sorted in no time, he he.

is there a doctor in the house

(Nitie nite Shaney.)

look out... it's Kit...

[DaSwede]

Yeah in my dreams it's Kit. How's your foot doin' jno.

[netibiza]

Morning all -

jno - I had steroid injections in my shoulder before they operated (obviously didn't do any good at all) but they really didn't hurt, and I'm the world's worse coward with needles. Just massage the injection spot after for a few mins and you'll be ok. Mind you if you are having it in the foot, ouch - maybe a different matter. I did grow a beard and fancy women for a while but that finished when the injection wore off!!!! :-)

[woofgang]

good morning all....grey and damp here today so another excuse to nurse my gardening injuries and not make them worse.
Next time DH barbies I will send some your way.
In the UK some condo complexes have had to put in covenants saying no balcony barbies....I can't believe anybody would be so insensitive but I guess that there are fools everywhere.
Sorry to hear about the neighbours Shaney, we used to have a family who backed on to us whose darling teens used to hold parties on a saturday night ending with who can smash the most bottles contests....it got so when you phoned the police they didn't need to verify the address...anyway they moved in the end. The houses up there are tres snob and very expensive so I guess that bad manners are not restricted to tattoo'd mountains.
We are very lucky in our ndns here.

[jno]

maybe I should try growing fancy women too, neti, I'm sure I could find a market for them. The injection was right in the sole of my foot and stung considerably - he said it was the worst injection he did (No 2 was tennis elbow) and it has the effect of making the plantar fasciitis hurt all over again before (I hope) fading away for good. We shall see.

Meanwhile I have my staff on standby

[VINNY100_2]

Morning all...
blimey..that reminds me of a chick I met years ago...woke up in the morning and she looked like one of the members of Abba...unfortunately it was the one with the beard...hehe..!(:O)

[Robinia]

g'day....ooph, couldn't get the door open

Vinny shouldn't you be out 'scotchguarding' the Wooly shagpiles?

mmm, looks like neti's nodded off watching Biddy Homes under the Hammer
<sticks sellotape to her top lip & yanks it off>....
and Kit's still sawing logs with her tiara on...is that a pearl choker she's wearing or have her teeth slid out? I'm not getting too close, she might start cleaning windows in her sleep

hope it's better soon jno,...in the meantime put your feet up on here for a day or two & forget all your troubles
there you are

<leaves sellotape on Vin's chair.... and flicks switch to on>

[netibiza]

Ha ha jno very droll - <<hope it hurts like hell>>


Ouch that hurt Robinia but thank you, needed it!!

[Robinia]

wasn't me...look <points to Vinny's chair> See?!

[DaSwede]

It's not my denture this time, Robinia, it is in fact just as you suspected a pearl choker, one I found on the internet the other day and saved in my picture files because something hilarious happened: I was looking at the choker thinking how pretty it was and planning how to wear it if I did buy it - I wouldn't tie a bow, just let the ends dangle down the back of my neck - yes I can see it now... how to wear it... add to cart? Maybe, maybe... how much is it? And then I notice: They are PUP PEARLS! It's a dog collar! A pooch pearl choker!

woof!

This happened on Friday and I saved the picture to tell y'all about it. I'm beginning to think you do have psychic abilities Robinia...

[DaSwede]

(Would any of you have known??)

[DaSwede]

Here's what a(nother) dog (or perhaps her master) wrote on My Space about a similar choker:

for christmas i got a pink octopus toy, a bag of 100 beef flavored chews, and a pearl choker with a pink bow that makes me look like the most beautiful princess pug in the world! what did you get?

I'm mortified... We shall never speak of this again...
