This month’s back wall brought to you by Fine Arts Tim and the colour white. It has been voted among the top three non-Damian walls.
In exciting news, we now have new gates and roller-doors for the outside area. This means no more lugging furniture in and out every day. While this may sound particularly unexciting to you, to Tim and I it means getting to bed an hour earlier every day.
The gates were installed in true bodgie fashion by [...]
Thanks to Emi for getting into the spirit of things and dressing up to match the back wall…
Tim has been so sad since his pheasant was stolen that I have decided to locate some new birds for him to stuff.
As his attention span is fairly short, we are looking for small dead birds like sparrows, tuis etc. Our plan is to stuff a whole lot of them and hang them from the [...]

A new back wall and I forgot to post it… Sorry. This month we have gone for a man test. If you can’t identify what the diagrams are, you are probably one of Tim’s fag mates.
A local art critic (Ross) came in, looked at the diagram and said it was “better than Tony de Lautour”.
The idea for the back wall disintegrated into mayhem and I realised that conceiving something and executing it are quite different things.
So, we had to rub it out and start again.
We had an artists forum this evening and a locally-famous mid-career swastika-artist said this was the “best chalk art I have seen tonight.”
I read somewhere [...]
