Observing how busy I was with the fabric painting project, Lancelot very kindly offered to help decorate one side of the bag.
The New Coffee Machine
Lancelot does not care for cold weather and tends to want to hibernate at the first signs of snow. Alarmed by the low energy levels of both Lancelot and Agile, Wilfred decided to buy the design studio a new coffee machine. It was an instant success. In fact a recent comment at the coffee machine went as follows:Agile: I feel like a caffeine addicted mouse. Press button, get reward, repeat......
Editor's note: Agile was in fact quoting John on the subject of the new expresso machine but Agile was so taken with this remark he wished to reuse it. We will have to wait and see if it has the desired effect on the studio's creative output.
Getting Ready for Halloween
Lancelot, Agile and Wilfred having been looking forward to Halloween for ages and have been planning their costumes for a long time. There has been considerable discussion as to who has the best costume and who is likely to collect the most candy. Agile maintains that Lancelot's costume is tantamount to emotional blackmail. Who could resist Father Christmas when Christmas is a mere 7 plus weeks away. Horrified by the forecast of snow, the Three Wise Creatures decide to Trick or Treat early..... Editor's Note. Lancelot has wisely disabled Agile's Donate Candy Now button on the grounds that too much sugar is not good for Agile's teeth.
Wilfred's Costume
Wilfred decided to reuse an old costume he still had from when he was an impoverished student and had to play the dog in seaside Punch and Judy shows.
Agile's Costume
Agile decided to go as a small boy on the grounds that no one can resist a small child on Halloween. DONATE CANDY HERE
Lancelot's Guide to the Best of Greenwich
Inspired by this week's class project, personal maps, Lancelot decided to create his own version of "The Best of Greenwich." Can you spot the differences?
Lancelot and Agile try their hands at leaf painting
Inspired by the work of Hazel Terry (@ www. the artroom.com) Lancelot and Agile decide to try leaf painting too.
Still Waiting, still in line
Agile was not so sorry to see the Humming birds go. Although he would never tell Lancelot so, Agile privately considered the birds to be flighty and irresponsible. Agile DID NOT like waiting in line to mail on all the stuff that the birds inevitably forgot when they suddenly realized it was time to leave... Of course, if he had his own cell phone, he would not have minded quite so much.
Alas, The Hummingbirds have all flown Home
We had the last sighting of a humming bird last Thursday, September 29th. Lancelot is always a little blue when the Hummingbirds finally leave.
Wilfred Was Always On His Barkberry.
With the recent turmoil in the stock market, Wilfred was always on his Barkberry and his Ipaw.
Last Day at the Beach
Lancelot enjoys one final sandcastle before Summer finally ends.
The Entrepreneurs' Breakfast Club
At a recent meeting of the Entrepreneurs' Breakfast Club, Lancelot proposed starting a new Rating Agency. The suggested title would be the "A & B" Rating Agency. At this point, it has not yet been decided whether "A & B" should stand for "Average and Bad' or "Awful and Broke" Discussion is still ongoing...
Bad Weather
Agile was rather enjoying himself, pretending to be the Loch Ness Monster but Lancelot and Wilfred were getting very tired of the rain.
A Wet Weekend
It was a poor forecast for most of the UK.
Blending in.
Where ever they go, Lancelot and Agile like to maintain a discreet profile.
Self Portrait
Lancelot decided to have a go too.
Lancelot and Agile were both looking forward to their vacation
Lancelot and Agile were both looking forward to their vacation, but for slightly different reasons.
Birthday Celebrations
In honor of my Father's birthday Lancelot and Agile attempt to reproduce the famous McOmie's "proof" experiment. (Father was an Organic Chemist.) Sadly however they did not subject their calculations to critical peer review and there is a serious mistake in the final equation.* Editor's note. *The crucial final calculation should deliver the number 91, NOT 90. Lancelot and Agile apologize for this fundamental error which may render most of their research void. Lancelot strongly cautions that if you MUST try this at home, be sure to wear safely goggles.
Hedgehogs underrepresented in the visual arts
As Lancelot has frequently observed to me, Hedgehogs are seriously underrepresented in the visual arts. Dogs are de rigeur, cats are commonplace, rabbits routine, but the noble and elegant hedgehog is rarely to be seen - until now. Here we see a splendid example of this honorable creature, a ceramic hedgehog from Mexico, complete with decorative cacti. Lancelot was so thrilled to be given this sculpture by his dear friend Nancy that he has not stopped smiling in 48 hours.
Birthdays
My family celebrates a number of Birthdays in July. Here we see Agile rehearsing Lancelot and Wilfred in the Hallelujah Birthday Chorus. Observe Agile's tattoo in honor of my Mother.
