Comments on both posts...

Am I confused?

You bet I am!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say. When it comes to art I'll readily admit I'm a bit of a philistine and actually like pictures, sculptures, etc to look like what they’re supposed to be. I think I just need to understand what the artist is asking us to appreciate. What I don’t want necessarily is to have to work too hard at interpretation: yes I know, lazy old fart!

The above is a ‘sculpture’ that caused considerable debate when it was erected in my home town: I’d like to know what readers here think?

It seems lots of us have been extremely busy just recently and are feeling the pressures of a modern lifestyle. I have to say I’m really pleased Friday has finally rolled around and the end of the week is nigh; I’m feeling completely shattered.

Sadly I’m not going to be able to take advantage of the coming weekend though since a bit of a family crisis means I’ll be making a round trip to Yorkshire tomorrow so spending around 8 hours behind the wheel (traffic permitting).

So much recuperation then; at least I’ll have Sunday to just flop once the weekly chores and shopping have been done and at least I’ll get to see the daughter for a couple of hours tomorrow.
