Dear all,
A day of high excitement here in the Pretty River Valley: The opening of my Art Show... EEEEEK.
After the compulsory last minute panic ( nb: Darren was brilliantly calming during this brief 'panic stage'), I got labels out, paintings priced, last minute 'touch-ups' and everything ready to go.

After an hour or so however, a wave of calm decended and I decided not to worry about a thing. At midday I picked up Bob and Mary Lou and bought them to the show. It was so wonderful that they could come and they also fell in love with Ariel, a fabulous Yorkie who had also popped in for the show.

It's a funny thing having an art show - I suddenly felt quite nervous really, not having had my paintings being displayed en mass before and suddenly having them all together in a room [with price tags on them] was quite bizare.

The show runs for three days so I will keep everyone posted on how it goes!
And in other news:
1. More cooking, more cooking, hurray, I love it! Darren had a brain wave in suggesting I use the chicken and ratatouille stock (combined) to make a veal meatball soup ( very advanced). So I did. AND it worked ( miracle) .
My congenital problem with portion control came rigorously into effect as I decided to also prepare a VAST pasta salad http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2994/deli-pasta-sala, the [now favorite] proscuitto wrapped asparagus and for dessert... a lemon and lime pie.. ( improved recipe with Lemon yogurt, lime jello powder, Lime zest + juice, Lemon Zest + Juice, Cream Whip, mix up, put in lovely biscuit pie case, sprinkle with honey Grahams and pop in fridge... ooo lalalalala)
