those of you who know me, know that i appreciate a little bit of bacon from time to time [oh, behave!] and so stumbling upon a blog page called '365 Days of Bacon'was clearly going to be a treat, and when on a whim i decided to email and ask if the creator would do a guest post for me and she said, "Absolutely!" despite being totally busy, i was even more bouyed and so [...]
from this last week on The Daily Mash [and Peace!] blog i'd have to say Thursday's John Piper tweet piece would be one to look at - Friday's 'Get your fax straight' i published on this blog as well under a different title, and if you haven't watched Wednesday's Improv TED talk then that is very much worth it, as was Tuesday's piece about the inspirational feet-paint-tree-creation-on-road-in-Hong-Kong bit... so i'd start with those and catch [...]

another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]
well, actually, this pome is titled 'If' but po-tay-to, po-tah-to... my wife linked to this the other day and i remembered what a powerful read it was... hope you enjoy [especially if this is your first time... and it works for women too by the way!] 'If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But [...]
Wot another great theme, the great ones being ones open to a range of interpretation... so many pictures, so little space, but had a variety of shots that jumped out at me to use in this post, each bringing their own personal flavour to this Patterned Buffet: Clockwise from the top left we have: # the patterm formed by row upon row of white fluffy cloud hovering over the water and nature scene [...]
i have not met Tim Hughes personally, but i was once in a room with him [and quite a large room at that] it was on a trip to visit my sister Sue and her family in a town called Rancho Cucamonga near LA which must have been 2006 or 2008 and i organised my ticket so i could stop over in London long enough to take the bus to visit some friends in Holland [...]
