I decided the Libra way of doing things would be to remove every 4th person I follow. In this list includes my boss, my company and several people I love and adore. Just trying to mix it up a bit as a little experiment of mine.

The Humour of William Heath Robinson
(May 2022 - Sep 2022)
The 31st May 2022 will be the 150th anniversary of the birth of William Heath Robinson. He was trained as an artist at the Royal Academy Schools, and as past exhibitions at the Museum have shown, he was a great illustrator and a highly accomplished painter in watercolours, but it is as a humorous artist that he is best known. To mark this important anniversary, we shall be exhibiting a selection of his cartoons representing the wide range of his subjects and spanning his humorous output from 1905 to 1943.
During two World Wars he deployed irony and satire to counter German propaganda and to bring a little mirth into the otherwise painful lives of servicemen and civilians. Both greatly appreciated his efforts. A similar dry humour was used to satirise the pomposity and fussiness of those who took themselves too seriously. He was modest and gentle, qualities that shine through in his humour.
As a review of his memorial exhibition in the Times in 1945 commented, “What may be unexpected in this exhibition is the fineness of Heath Robinson’s craftsmanship – the clean and firm fluency of his pen line and the quality of his watercolour washes. Those who have known his work only in reproduction will be surprised at its technical excellence.”

In addition to all of the clothes, there were lots of other goodies that found new homes in no time.
just doing a bit of springcleaning in my filesystem today... and found a set of my pictures from our wedding day in 2009 which I don't remember seeing at the time, or since. It's amazing what you can find if you never throw anything out!
What crappy projects I left myself - cleaning out the linen closet and my own. Frack.
Pulled out 8 sets of sheet, several blankets and what seems like 100's of pillow from the linen closet.
This is the second, actually 3rd, swipe at my own closet. Culled 43 pairs of shoes and two more boxes of clothes. I can finally see my floor again.

The steps lead to Shinonome Shrine, which was built in 1823 at the northern foot of Matsuyama Castle as a talisman against the bad luck traditionally thought to come from the northeast in ancient Chinese lore. Ironic perhaps, because the shrine was destroyed by bombers which came from the West in July 1945 just before the end of the war.
I started putting cans on sticks in hopes that the wasps would make homes in them. It worked. They used to nest in random places that made it difficult to work around. I've got wasp cans all over the garden. Some would think they were an eyesore but they don't bother me a bit.

Wednesday, July 2nd - I am so over this Spring cleaning and we are just about 1/2 way through. Trying to do it systematically, moving from one room to another, but it is not working out that way as we are unsure where some of the furniture will end up.
Also trying to give everything a good scrub while we are moving furniture since I have found how lowsy of a job our housekeeper has been doing. Suck.
My beloved, albeit ginormous, old skool drafting table has been passed on to my friend Nick, who is two design studios behind me in the program. It will serve him well, and now our living room/offices have a little more breathing room...stay tuned for the replacement!
I gave my clowns a bit of spring cleaning today, and found a spot for a few pictures I'd acquired but not put on display...
I cleaned out my closet and drawers today and got rid of all these clothes and shoes that no longer fit, or that I no longer want. I stacked up the piles on the bathroom vanity ... eight piles in all (although it probably looks like more because they're against the mirror).
My closet's never been so empty, which is both depressing and liberating ... because letting go of the old is a good feeling, and a new beginning.

They are dredging the river mouth this week and that causes a 2-way flushing action from the ocean to the inland water, which tends to get a bit skanky. It's a lot like life.
Sometimes we benefit from cleaning things out, even though it means dealing with the crud temporarily. A routine of regular cleansing insures there won't be too many backups. Call it spring cleaning, or flushing, or just maintenance, it definitely has its benefits!
