Elsie sucks her thumb when she is tired - and she was very tired after the weekend's excitement. I think she is going to teach her little sister many things!
I hope it won't be long before I'm back on flickr properly. Thanks to all who are still visiting - I really appreciate it.
Singel 465-467, Amsterdam.
Gebouwd in 1912.
Architect: Evert Breman (1859-1926)
[NL] De RoXY was van 1987 t/m 1999 een nachtclub in Amsterdam, die internationaal bekendheid genoot wegens zijn theatrale en glamoureuze uitstraling. Club RoXY was in haar hoogtijdagen een collectief creatief podium van zelfexpressie, een podium waar kunst, muziek, mode en de vrije levensstijl samen kwamen. Vermaard tot ver over de grenzen straalde de reputatie van Club RoXY in de late jaren ’80 en de jaren ’90 dan ook af op de stad Amsterdam, als stad van vrije geesten en onbegrensde mogelijkheden.
De club was gelegen op nummer 465-467 aan het Singel, tussen de Munt en het Koningsplein, en had als entree de achteruitgang van de voormalige en in 1983 gesloten bioscoop met dezelfde naam in de Kalverstraat.
In het begin van de jaren 90 was Club RoXY samen met de iT en De Waakzaamheid een van de belangrijkste clubs van de house- en technoscene in Nederland.
Op 21 juni 1999, de dag dat Peter Giele (een van de oprichters) begraven werd, brandde de discotheek volledig uit, omdat tijdens het afsteken van binnenvuurwerk de airco niet was uitgezet, zodat er vonken in de aanzuiger terechtkwamen.
Tegenwoordig zit er een kledingwinkel in.

[EN] This building used to be nightclub RoXY, from 1987 until 1999. It burned down on the day of the funeral of Peter Giele, who was one of the initiators of the nightclub.
Club RoXY was one of the first nightclubs to play house music, and it attracted a lot of extravagent visitors.
After the fire the building has been restored. Nowadays there is a clothing shop on the ground floor.
In this video you can see some images of the fire, of 21st June 1999: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUTXB8gMLv4

Take a photo of me blowing you a kiss, she said.
On Monday I asked Elsie and Roxy whether they would rather call me Jane rather than Grangran. Both were horrified! I wondered because Peter's parents were always Pat and John to the boys and when Ben was 13 Mum became fed up with being called Gunghi - sounds like a blocked up sink, she said and was called Heather from then on.
Apparently we are staying as Grangran and Gramps for the time being!
This is Roxy my new Kitten I had tried to get a rescue cat around 12 months or less but all were older and needed to have access to a garden Roxy will be a house cat :) She's just over 8 weeks.
Just a couple of shots with my Coolpix.

although this was taken on Monday, I want to add a journal story from yesterday when I went to look after the children while Abby went shopping . . . it was sweltering . . . and i managed to avoid taking part in Elsie's rather energetic looking yoga class by procrstinating with my morning coffee . . . in fact considering that it was into the 30s centigrade and the hottest day of the year, we all did very well . . . until 15 minutes before Abby reappeared. I am telling you off, Roxy shouted at Elsie, who had infringed Roxy's unknown law of being Roxy. Then she turned to me and said loudly, meaningfully . . . and you, you are a mistake.
I'd like to tell you all - if you ever find you are a mistake, laughing is not the right response. Not sure what is, but if you laugh I think you become a bigger mistake than you were before.
Today we have had a so far pathetic storm which hasn't even watered the garden properly . . . but it is cooler and I am able to sit up here in my office comfortably. So by the time I post this I will have done some catching up. We have friends coming round tomorrow evening, so back on Sunday.
BGW's "Roxy." I was lucky enough to get a photo of her showing off her playful side.
Finishing touches created with Filter Forge's "Vibrance" (at 15%) and "Picture Effects" (20%).
Roxy joined our family on March 28, 2007
She is a Bichapoo or Poochon - half Bichon Frise and half Poodle
She 9 weeks old, about 4 pounds, and very mischevious

it was a Roxy day today, but this is from Monday, when the weather was fine. The journey from north to east London is about 13 miles, I think. It normally takes me 35 mins at the time of day I'm travelling . . . the journey can take 25 mins, and at most 50 mins . . . this is London traffic. Today, it took me 2hours 20 mins. I had intended to take the train/tube/bus, but had been put off by a local weather/travel report mentioning delays. Heigh-ho, surely no delay would have taken me that long.
And now, I'm tired. Was home just after 5pm and then we went to vote in the referendum. I shall look through some of my Charleston photos and catch up as much as I can with your photos. Tomorrow we are going over to east London for my birthday meal (birthday earlier in the week) - so will be back properly on Saturday. Please, please may we still be in Europe! but that's the silly thing, we are a part of Europe however the vote goes . . .

Saturday morning I had a long facetime session with the east London contingency! Abby was using her IPhone and I was using my IPad and took some photos. Imagine taking photos from 13 miles away.
Abby and girls were in the garden, and it was the next best thing to watch them for about an hour and a half playing and Abby and i chatted - what to do about the fox who is wrecking her garden. Has anyone any tips how to prevent him entering?

Roxy presented us with a picture on Saturday, declaring love to Grangran and Graps . . . later on we were subjected to being pupils in her class and were presented with a written sheet of what is good for us . . . froot . . . of course!

Catching up is a slow process, and it seems that after the initial catch up I shall need to do another catch up to catch up . . .
we picked up Elsie from school today and spent the afternoon and evening over in east London. Roxy seemed to be having fun discovering her extremities . . . kicking her little feet. She is unfurling like a leaf in spring

no photos of Elsie this week - in fact I only took 2 of Roxy, because something occurred to take my attention away from photography (nothing startling, I was probably just asked a question!)

Roxy is a joy to sit next to at the table. She loves her food and is very sociable. It does mean, however, being alert, because she will make a grab for anything in reach and you can't rule out having food flicked at you. BUT, this evening it was even more hazardous having waitress Elsie serving gravy . . . we all watched with amazement as Abby said, yes, she would like gravy and Elsie accidentally poured it into her lap!

already a thinker. Elsie is over the moon with her little sister.
I am perched at the kitchen counter doing this, so I'm afraid I'm not back on flickr yet, but felt I had to start off with Roxy's journal right away, so shall be posting a few pics
