Agatha Macbeth: So how's the gondolas?
Wol Euler: never been in one. They look pretty
Wol Euler: and uncomfortalbe
Agatha Macbeth: Awww, that's the whole point of going!
Wol Euler: nope
Wol Euler: the whole point of going is to sit in the sun by the Adriatic and drink cappuccino
Agatha Macbeth sighs
Wol Euler: plus ... what's that called again? ...
Wol Euler: Art! yes, that
Agatha Macbeth: How is Art these days?
Wol Euler: moving along, seems pretty stable
Wol Euler: Biennale was amusing as usual, not as provocative as some years

Wol Euler: very little video this year
Agatha Macbeth: You're missing the oktoberfest then?
Wol Euler: yes, good planning that, eh?
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Agatha Macbeth: So much for the EU
Wol Euler: I've been once, done that, ticked it off the list
Wol Euler: no need to go a second time
Wol Euler: if your shoes have been puked on by one Australian, they count as puked on by all Australians
Agatha Macbeth: Well, yeh
Agatha Macbeth: I'll consult Miralee on that one
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: she'll agree, I'm sure
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how Rolf Harris is doing?
Wol Euler: still alive?
Agatha Macbeth: I think so

Bleu Oleander: glad to hear!
Wol Euler: warm, mostly sunny, smells like the sea, tastes like Illy cappuccino
Wol Euler: and limoncello
Agatha Macbeth: Better than Manchester I'll bet
Bleu Oleander: limoncello ... yum
Wol Euler smiles.
Bleu Oleander: always keep some in the freezer :)
Wol Euler: hooray, the "real Bleu" is back.

Agatha Macbeth: Where is he btw?
Agatha Macbeth: Bit early maybe
Wol Euler: off burying his bone, perhaps
arabella Ella: yea i was wondering about Boxy too
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: He'll probably appear just as we all leave as always
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: which reminds me that I think I haven't yet asked for cover for my sessions this weekend

Agatha Macbeth: Oh
arabella Ella: oh is the biennale on at the moment?
arabella Ella: the architecture one?
Wol Euler: there are two bits, national pavilions in a garden, and teh generic show in the Arsenale
Aphrodite Macbain: the gardens- where all the countries get to show off their architects
Wol Euler: architecture this year, yes

Agatha Macbeth ponders a strident show
Wol Euler nods.
Aphrodite Macbain: I have taken some great pics and will put them in my blog when \i get a spare minute

Agatha Macbeth cheers
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Aphrodite Macbain: it's thelimoncello
Wol Euler: not to mention seagull dander
arabella Ella: is the ponte dei sospiri still covered with hoarding?
Wol Euler: lots of seagulls around
Aphrodite Macbain: yecch
Agatha Macbeth: Thought that was something you play
arabella Ella: (bridge of sighs)
Bleu Oleander: sighs
Wol Euler: huh, ara, didn't see that. I believe the answer is no, but we only passed by on the boat at a fair distance
Agatha Macbeth: No binoculars?
Aphrodite Macbain: lol ara
Korel Laloix: back
Agatha Macbeth: WB
Wol Euler: wb, and no
arabella Ella: oh ok maybe the hoarding if still there is not that obvious from a distance
Aphrodite Macbain: it was the bridge the prisoners took on their way to be killed
Wol Euler: the last time I was here, the fashion in hoardings was to put up a life-size image of the building being restored
arabella Ella: their last glimpse at the outside world before execution
Agatha Macbeth: Which prisoners?
Wol Euler: this year, they are just advertising images 10 metres tall
Aphrodite Macbain: convicted ones
arabella Ella: well Wol when I saw the hoarding there it was all chopard stuff
arabella Ella: around 2 years ago
Wol Euler: probably gone by now, then
Wol Euler: but as I say I didn't notice particularly
arabella Ella: have you been to the lovely cafes in piazza san marco?
Aphrodite Macbain: not yet
Wol Euler: not yet
Wol Euler: snap
arabella Ella: he he
Agatha Macbeth: Give it time
Wol Euler: been there, of course but had to gt back here for PaB so didn't sit down
Bleu Oleander: not yet??

Aphrodite Macbain: I worry about the seafood...
Wol Euler: sounds good, bleu, thanks
Aphrodite Macbain: you should see the water
Wol Euler: the lagoon water is quite clean now, really
Bleu Oleander: :)
Wol Euler: honestly
Agatha Macbeth: I liked the squid in Sardinia
Wol Euler: very safe. yes.
Wol Euler: no need to worry *nods vigorously*
arabella Ella: have you seen any of the gi-normous cruise liners in the lagoon?
Wol Euler: yes! saw one this evening as we were coming back. 11 storeys tall above the waterline
Aphrodite Macbain: yes one= took over the skyline
Wol Euler: incredible
Agatha Macbeth: Eek
Aphrodite Macbain: have pictures- many-both of us
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Bleu Oleander: nice!
Agatha Macbeth: When does Yaku arrive?
arabella Ella: i've seen them on TV ... not very much in line with venetian skyline and much too large
Aphrodite Macbain: It was like a monster beside all the little vaporettos
Wol Euler: tomorrow around 6pm

Wol Euler: well, not that, no
Wol Euler: we have a plunger style coffee maker but not a proper latte device
Wol Euler: oddly equipped apartment
Agatha Macbeth: Good heavens
Mickorod Renard: nite Aph
Bleu Oleander: I remember my friend ordered a latte and they brought him a glass of milk hehe
Wol Euler: neither potholders nor sharp knives, but two fully equipped bathrooms
Agatha Macbeth: Slurp
Wol Euler: but only one bar of soap between them!
Agatha Macbeth: Cut it in two
Mickorod Renard: bathrooms are good
Wol Euler: no sharp knives :)
Agatha Macbeth: No saws?
Wol Euler: we just bought a second bar. damn the expense
Agatha Macbeth: You impetuous fool!
Bleu Oleander: step on it with your spiked heels :)
Wol Euler: hehehe
Bleu Oleander: have you been to the Guggenheim yet?
Wol Euler: yes, lovely place. went there on the second day
Wol Euler: marvelled at her Joseph Cornell boxes
Bleu Oleander: http://www.guggenheim.org/venice
Bleu Oleander: oh yes!
Wol Euler: funny, I have no recollection of them from previous visits
arabella Ella: oh yes!
Wol Euler: they seem to have left no mark
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe they moved them
Wol Euler: but now, I'd say they were collectively the best things of the collection
Bleu Oleander: seeing but not really seeing :)
Wol Euler: I could write a novel about the one that was little bottles of nostalgia
Agatha Macbeth: Or let Aph do it
Wol Euler: or that
Agatha Macbeth: Nostalgia bottles sounds interesting
Wol Euler: other than that, basically just walking
Wol Euler: visiting my favourite cafes
Bleu Oleander: http://www.gallerieaccademia.org/?lang=en
  --BELL--1345
Bleu Oleander: have you been there?
Mickorod Renard: are they very expensive Wol,,the cafes?
Wol Euler: more expensive than home yes
Wol Euler: but not absolutely prohibitive
Agatha Macbeth: I bet euros are easier to deal with than lire
Wol Euler: 4 euros for a cappuccino is not too much
Wol Euler: yes but to be honest I miss the lira
Wol Euler: i miss the different currencies
Mickorod Renard: its been about 13 years since i was there last
Wol Euler: probably not much has changed, mick :)
arabella Ella: it is just busier i guess
Bleu Oleander: more touri I'm sure
Wol Euler: well this is almost off-season, the main crowds are gone
Wol Euler: still pretty packed though
Wol Euler: high summer here is unbearable
Agatha Macbeth: I can imagine
arabella Ella: last time i visited venice was April two years ago and one couyld hardly move with all the crowds
Agatha Macbeth: Oww
Mickorod Renard: I saw a picture on tv this morning of York,,in england,,under water due to floods,,at first I thought it was venice
Wol Euler: wow
Agatha Macbeth: Ha, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Hate to think what Worcester and Tewkesbury are like atm
arabella Ella: oh Wol and if you have a TV there you will see Daniel Craig as James Bond speaking Italian and Di Caprio in Inception doing the same
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: it's never ocurred to either of us to turn the TV on
arabella Ella: ah
Agatha Macbeth: Never occurs to me either
Mickorod Renard: its not rained that much here,,so Worcester may be ok,,cos its not far from me
Agatha Macbeth: Unless I watch Dr Who on Iplayer
arabella Ella: here it is still summer and swimming and sunbathing weather
Bleu Oleander: here too :)
Wol Euler: heheh
Mickorod Renard: nice....(envy envy)
Wol Euler: when is it not, though?
arabella Ella smiles
Bleu Oleander: endless summer
Agatha Macbeth: I had to finally give in and put the heating on this week :(
arabella Ella: ah we had flash floods beginning of september ... an annual occurance
Mickorod Renard: I have a nice log fire burning now
Agatha Macbeth: Mmmmmmm
Wol Euler: we have the windows open now, and ate dinner outdoors
Bleu Oleander is fanning herself ... remembers using heat in NYC
arabella Ella: and i hope to be off to the beach to swim in the sea over the weekend
Mickorod Renard: am laying on rug on floor in front of it
Wol Euler: but it's getting chilly, another week and that would probably not be possible
Agatha Macbeth: Bearskin?
Wol Euler: dreamy :)
Mickorod Renard: ate dinner outdoors,,Wol thats so appealing
Wol Euler smiles.
Bleu Oleander: more appealing in Venice :)
arabella Ella: sounds lovely
Wol Euler: I'll be honest: it is :)
Mickorod Renard: mmmmm,,any people in the masks and costume?
Wol Euler: only people selling tickets to concerts
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like SL ;-)
Mickorod Renard: he he
Mickorod Renard: I eventually got my son back from Venice,,after the cancelled return flight and all that
Wol Euler: good
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right
Mickorod Renard: he got 2 extra days in a 5 star hotel
Agatha Macbeth: Did he still have the watch?
Bleu Oleander: :)
Wol Euler: heheh
  --BELL--1400
Mickorod Renard: yes, funny dream that one
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Mickorod Renard: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Shame you couldn't get back to it
Mickorod Renard: yes, but i guess they have a limited life
Agatha Macbeth: I'm really glad Max has been able to keep the dream workshop going
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Nothing much else seems to happen at the cafe any more
Bleu Oleander: never run out of dreams :)
Agatha Macbeth: Good job!
Bleu Oleander: take care all
Bleu Oleander: enjoy Venice Wol :)
Agatha Macbeth: Have fun o monochrome one
Bleu Oleander: ha!
Mickorod Renard: bye Bleu
Wol Euler: tbank you bleu, take care
Bleu Oleander: bye bye
Agatha Macbeth: Actually 'monochrome' is a total misnomer isn't it?
Wol Euler: since neihter white nor black is a colour? yep
Agatha Macbeth: Plus all the shades of grey
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Or sheds of grey
Wol Euler: sheds indeed
Wol Euler: today's shed is a blinder.
Agatha Macbeth: I did see it but forgot it
Agatha Macbeth: Think I was too busy reading Stephen Fry
Mickorod Renard: he's interesting,,in a way..isnt he bi polar too?
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno, but he is bisexual :p
Agatha Macbeth: Bipolar is what used to be called manic depressive
Wol Euler: I had to give up on Fry, he was too prolific, drowned out everyone else
Agatha Macbeth: So funny tho
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: 'Get down on your hands and knees,' she ordered, 'And I'll take you to a place you've never been before.' This was the weirdest satnav ever.
Wol Euler: (50 sheds)
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Agatha Macbeth: :DDD
Wol Euler: https://twitter.com/50ShedsofGrey
arabella Ella bites her lower lip ....
Agatha Macbeth: Rower rip
Agatha Macbeth feels a sudden urge to polish Mick's head
Wol Euler grins.
Mickorod Renard: am I bald again?
Wol Euler: so where's boxy these days? apropos polishing
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, ruth is long gone
Agatha Macbeth: About time for him to arrive isn't it?
Wol Euler looks around
Agatha Macbeth: Haven't seen him for about a week now you mention it
Wol Euler: huh
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he's persuing his secret life again
Wol Euler: I guess
arabella Ella: yes he missed out on dreams on tuesday too
Agatha Macbeth: Boxy is Boxy
Agatha Macbeth: One of a kind
arabella Ella: maybe he is here as ... me ... or you ... or you?
Agatha Macbeth: Well I know for a fact he's not me :p

Wol Euler narrows her eyes
Agatha Macbeth: Ah so

Wol Euler: and thingy
Agatha Macbeth: Thought it was Bosie?
Wol Euler: ah, yes, quite right
Agatha Macbeth: Also an alternate term for a googlie
Wol Euler: gives a whole new meaning to "leg before wicket"
Agatha Macbeth: Sure thing
Wol Euler stifles a giggle so as not to distract Aph who is pretending to write her blog
Agatha Macbeth: Reginald Bosanquet's grandfather invented leg spin apparently
Wol Euler: destined for greatness. that one
Agatha Macbeth: With a tennis ball
arabella Ella: writing a blog with a tennis ball? ehrm?
Wol Euler: very sloppy writing

Agatha Macbeth: 'Death in Venice'

Wol Euler: boom boom
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if K is with us?
Wol Euler: she's pretty quiet back there
Agatha Macbeth: I get this urge to do really naughty things to her while she's afk
Wol Euler chortles.

Wol Euler: "incorrigible" is your middle name
Agatha Macbeth: Hmmm....A.I.M.
Wol Euler: aims to please

Wol Euler: two bathrooms, two bedrooms, internal balcony on an upper level, kitchen
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds nice
Wol Euler: near the Ca' d'Oro vaporetto stop
Agatha Macbeth: Oh that one
Wol Euler: newly refitted, quite pretty
Agatha Macbeth: Remember to take a pic for us
Wol Euler: very quiet
Wol Euler: I'll take a photo of the edge of the door, showing hte amazing variety and quantity of locks
Agatha Macbeth: Don't young Italians ride around on lambrettas any more then?
Wol Euler: not in venice :)
Agatha Macbeth: Suppose they'd get wet
Wol Euler: mmhm
Wol Euler: they could use jetski's, but somehow they don't
Agatha Macbeth: I hear that's good fun, til the boat stops
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: that saying fits so many situations
Agatha Macbeth: 'Hey the boat stopped...glug glug glug'
Wol Euler: "it'll end in tears"
Agatha Macbeth: And usually does
Agatha Macbeth: My mother used to say that
Wol Euler: actually the restrictions on speed and wake size are probably why they don't use jetskis
Agatha Macbeth: Killjoys
Wol Euler: practical reality :)
Agatha Macbeth: Same thing
Wol Euler: the city is built at the waterline
Agatha Macbeth: Lets hope the water doesn't rise then
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: even an afternoon of rainfall makes a visible effect in teh water level
Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure I read somewhere parts of the city are sinking
Wol Euler: highly possible yes
Agatha Macbeth: Venice becomes Atlantis
Agatha Macbeth: Must drop a line to Plato in his cave
Wol Euler: with a fishhook?
Agatha Macbeth: Could do
Agatha Macbeth: Or a pigeon
Wol Euler: caught by the thesis
Agatha Macbeth: Nasty
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: my impression is that there are fewer buildings occupied than in previous years
Wol Euler: the city is depopulating, that is becomign visible
Agatha Macbeth: By tourists or natives?
Wol Euler: natives
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Wol Euler: hotels are full of light, many other buildings are dark
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe thay go to bed early
Wol Euler: not that early :) and not in other years
Agatha Macbeth: So where are they going?
Wol Euler: Mestre, on the mainland, where it's dry and stable and cheaper
Agatha Macbeth: Understandable I guess
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: property in Venice is a constant battle against damp and movement
Agatha Macbeth: Same here :(
Wol Euler: and I hear that many simply get tired of that
Wol Euler: you probably don't have seawater in your basement
Wol Euler: not that I am unsympathetic
Agatha Macbeth: I don't have a basement that's why
Wol Euler: ah
Wol Euler: stands to reason
  --BELL--1445
Agatha Macbeth: Would be hard to get seawater in it anyway
Wol Euler: you could bottle it, I suppose
Agatha Macbeth: Could do
Wol Euler: people buy mineral water, why not seawater
Agatha Macbeth: Keep the fish happy
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I think I should get to bed
Wol Euler: all this walking about arting takes it out of you
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, you can have some good dreams to relate to us
Wol Euler grins.
