That's Rafael's boot holding the frame in place. After he tested it, he decided it was a millimetre or two out - so he has taken it back into the workshop. The time frame is immaterial as our story has no dead line lying somewhere choking on a spreadsheet. #lesfolies' frame of mind is a bit out too, but then we all have our limitations. Even master carpenters have their limitations when it comes to what it might take to sandpaper her brain to a better fit.

Moral: This is why so many people tend to frame their affirmations.

*phrase coined by Phillippa Yaa de Villiers, credited also here with apologies to Nadine Hutton for stealing Free Sushi For All in the interests of sloganeering around town though there is really no excuse. Recipe by Jacqueline Perkules unless she got it from someone else I do not have a clue.

troyeville's lautrec

This looks like another #lesbin to Dear Johannes.

Somebody's getting in big trouble.

This happened yesterday. What's more, in the early hours of this morning, a visitor from Spain googled 'lautrec red haired' and landed here on #lesfolies's blog - on a post of the "Dans le lit" image which you can find on the family tag to the right if you are also feeling like the hot-blooded Spanish man.

Troyeville's Lautrec was here too early this morning, fixing a mouth and adding his own touches here and there.

And Troyeville's Basquiat came to visit while he was at it. And Dear Johannes told #lesfolies this visitation resulted in a whole lot of goings on that she had to concentrate on to understand and it was a bit difficult with her own goings on going on.

I wonder what is big trouble and whether you can also get a rosette for it.

To lose. To find. Evl Jon unearths lost treasure everywhere others see only trash.

In the dark in the night everywhere people have dreams shining through fear and old plastic - that a man was covered in this morning where we found him - on our way to school, fast asleep on the Troyeville Bed, with two legs sticking out. Shoes on.

Story for another day.

Jen. Den. Married this year after thirty-two years of collecting tsoris. I love them. I have known them that whole time. Their bed is always unmade I swear. And they never come to visit without iced-tea the way Den makes it and they bring it in a a 10litre petrol cannister. I swear. We have good times kvetching together and making grand plans. When I look at this picture I get farklempt. They have always treated me as something more than gehockter leber. Even though I wonder. Jen is the baleboosteh of note. Den is full of rachmones.

Basani

Basani and Pauline reading Celine's "Guignol's Band I & II"

I wonder why that book? Not for me on this Monday morning Celine's cursed raving on about how ugly we become, how we get old, how hopeless it is.

Though I like this: Si vous n'êtes pas riche, vous devez toujours regarder utiles. And I like google translate.

On a lighter note on this dark day, during parliaments' vote on the Protection of Information Bill, Johannes says that "the Troyeville bed is such a media slut."
