cunningham flies again
503 Answers
(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...

Hi Biddies It's all happening here. Had to put off Gman tomorrow because Tbag asked me to go up to his house for a glass of wine. So Gman is coming on Thurs for a Rock and Roll lesson instead. :o)
Been to Tai Chi this morning and worked really hard. I know when it's done me good cos I spend the rest of the day yawning and relaxing. Went for lunch with my 2 friends. We went to The New Inn down by the canal at Shardlow. Very tasty. MY diet went out the window as I had Broc and mushroom bake with loads of cheese sauce and new pots and salad. Then I had hot choc fudge cake with icecream. All I'm having for the rest of the day is yoghurt and fruit.
Great pictures Vinny. I don't have any talents in the artistic direction. You obviously do.
Hope you're feeling better Neti My niece was diagnosed with a thyroid problem years ago and she had some sort of radioactive injection and then has to take tablets for the rest of her life. When she had the treatment she couldn't go near her daughters or her husband for a week. She didn't mind too much about the husband bit but the kids had to go and stay with my sister for the week and that caused her a bit of grief. (she's divorced now!!}
Think I'll go and 'tickle the ivories' for an hour now instead of cleaning up. I'm just idle aren't I. Bye for now :o) x

good evening tea baggers, nose baggers & old baggers....
have you seen Jude's front door?
<wafts smelling salts under Kit's nose>....
<whispers>...c'mon, get a grip woman, never show fear or surprise. I realise it could be a wind up & we'll be sending our addies to spam central but it's a chance we'll have to take. Yes, it is the aforementioned castle in the pic.
thanks for that jno and feel free to send me your bank details & I'll make all of your money disappear.
erm, you can't say you you found an absolute bargain in the charidee shop shaney and leave it....c'mon what was it? ....a box of sequined hairnets?... a pack of 365 microfibres?....a liberty bodice with attached 'spenders?
<gasp!>..or could it be?
oh, pack your case, bring a flan & come on over...I need a good bargain hunter

hello all, its been a win some lose some day here. Darling pups have chewed up a pair of OH's glasses; fortunately a cheap internet pair not his super duper memory metal snazzies. BUT I found my expensive snazzies with the photochromics that i had lost in the forest last week!! completely undamaged, not so much as a scratch on the frames!!!! Hundreds of people walk there every week (including moi every day) and they hadn't been trodden on by people or ponies, carried off by a magpie or "done" on by a fox or badger.
btw I have a computer/digi camera problem.....all of a sudden (seemingly) about half of my beautiful hi res photos have been converted to 640 by 480 res....has anyone got any idea what i did and how to undo it please??
goona go post this in the techie bit as well....I hope the geeks don't get me, if I'm not back by tomorrow, someonerescue me

Crikey Woofie you have photos ? I lost all my gardening album and loads of others when Picky dismantled our computer and it got the click of death and I am still running around looking for them so am no help whatsoever. Not to worry he's getting a brand spanking new camera with a zoom lens which I shall commandeer ... and I shall regale you all with pictures from Norfolk
As to my bargain Robinia ..it's kitsch but I love it and have wanted one for ages .I dropped hints at Xmas and birthday but no joy .
It's just one of those jewellry mannequins . I'd seen the exact one in a shop for twenty quid and I got it for a pound ,still in it's box .

Show us your drawings, Shaney! No... somebody stop her... drawings, Shaney, drawings - you said you'd had a go yourself at that site - you know, the one that isn't called rate my drawers. / Seriously, though, won't you show us?
Woofy you must tell your little darlings they may have to go back to the vet if they keep eating things that shouldn't be eaten. That should have an effect, at least on the one that yelled the house down the last time you were there. / So, have you started on your novel yet?
Earlier tonight out walking in the rain I saw a teabag (I promise, I did) lying on the pavement (discarded!) and I thought about you, Jude. <Must stop thinking about Jude's life; it wears me out. That woman has more energy than Woofy's puppies.>

Unless, of course, you are referring to things one popped up one's nose in the '60's - Vinny'll know about that side of things.
