wet,wet,wet,

Well what can I do, following a denial , from my most stern critic, of interest in ownership of a watch made of rusty "steel" with a "coal face", for a modest £75,000 ($150,000, he he) & an appeal for more holiday photos..........

I love this picture of KP - you have to smile back. Obviously no spiders about!

And this one of Oscar, having a snack. What a cutie!

This is the cloisters of the Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave - just down from the Water Tower. For those with good eyesight, the tower is "The Whitehall Hotel", home to aj & me for three nights. (in a big bed)

This was "Alberts", Catch's local restaurant, two blocks from West Oak street, where we ate with Catch on each visit. We always walked there & back.

It has changed hands, now "52". No longer a greek patisserie. (or whatever it should be called). Shame.

And this is Milton Engel, Catch's friend & colleague of 60 years, now officially, a "Surrogate Catch"

I have to admit that it is 3.15pm & I am sitting on the settee, with the TV on.

In my defence, it has rained very hard until about an hour ago.

I've done the ironing & have had two 'phone calls offering me jobs & arranged a visit to discuss one of them.

Talk me out of it!
