Offering tables were an important part of ancient Egyptian religion. They were usually placed in the courtyards of chapels of tombs and were used in rites connected with the deceased. They often consisted of a simple thick slab of stone reminiscent of the shape of the hieroglyph hetep that signified offerings. In the middle of the table was usually a depiction of the food offered to the deceased: vegetables, fruit and meat. Tables bore inscriptions with the name of the deceased, which reinforced the effectiveness of the funerary offerings.

no new fabrics...just scraps on the table that needs to be cleaned up.... handy purse/ bags, to hang around the neck...will hold a credit card, a comb, reading glasses.... a key...etc..etc.. and act as a substitute for jewellery as well..
Some of these will go with me on my next trip...and they look like acceptable gift items... ( already having been admired by friends...)
this morning, I made a bigger one which will hold the above, plus a small water bottle....keeping my hands free for important things like...cameras !!
I try to vary my images a little each day, so that it is not lots of repeats of farm yards all together or cemeteries or animals or gates, but keeping within the theme of small pieces of Leicester-shire, I spread them out to a slightly different subject each day.
So something completely different to-day, not the usual at all, but some chairs and tables behind a village inn, I knew there was a picture there, but could not see it.

This is a photo taken on an early misty morning of the driftwood root from Pembroke Beach that I brought home and placed on my dilapidated deck table. I composed the background forest to suggest a metaphorical duality of light and dark. Displayed as it is, the pareidolia driftwood root suggests a prehistoric predatory lizard life form, much like the base brain in we humans.

Earlier in the week, the London weather forecast for Saturday, was rain ... but it mostly held off until the afternoon, and even then it was just a few drops. So it was really nice to wander along in the sunshine.

Rubber shoes are not meant for mountain-climbing but I sensed an opportunity of a lifetime and I was not about to let the chance pass. Midway in a weeklong conference I was attending in Capetown, South Africa in 2001 was a break and among the choices of day tours, the option of climbing the famous Table Mountain leapt out like flagrantly. Problem was I brought no hiking shoes as I was traveling light. With resignation, I knew I’d just had to give this a go, sensible footwear or not...

Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.

my goal is to paint the table (a really rough, beat-up old one) and chairs a deep blue colour... eventually.
I got the painting while wandering the streets of Paris. L'eglise Sacre Coeur, from Montmartre is in the background of the street scene.
