The dive

Someone forgot to put water in the pool !!!

Yes...it was a tragedy...ha! I'm in a black-humor mood lately!

Great work Diane,eddie,

Thank you!

Very beautiful - great textural quality and colour.
What is it?

A flat, rusty piece of metal on concrete. Thanks!

Of course! Silly me!! :o)
I notice Diane, I often go online about a minute after you have logged off (and gone to bed, I presume!). Our communication therefore sometimes gets a bit disjointed - you reply 2 days later, then I reply 2 days after that etc, but in our own "real" time we are exchanging comments by return!!!

Ah, so right, and here I am answering 3 days later!

Wow ! That's a great work, Diane !

Vielen Dank, glad you like it!

Superb! I'm not going to dive in, though;-)

Not advisable! Thank you, Gudrun. Oh - and sorry about our village idiot crashing around over there. Hopefully, he and Kim won't get us all killed.

I'm sure he'll manage as well as in Taormina;-) And I sincerely hope someone can stop those two from hitting the red button...

Which leader will he shove aside this time? Hmmm, we shall see... No one can stop Kim but Xi. Or, maybe not even Xi. No one can stop Trump but his Sec. of State and Sec. of Defense. They are both grownups, thank god, but they will not be with him in the middle of the night when he has an itchy trigger finger. The general public has no information about what the plan might be in case of crisis. More accurately, no idea of any plans at all. Who is really in charge? We're not sure. (The Republican-majority Senate is very busy trying to pass Draconian laws for all but the rich. I'm not sure they're even watching the news.)

I'm pretty sure DT hasn't any plan at all...
A little light relief: www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/07/upper-hand-trump-and-putins-body-language-shows-whos-the-boss

Haha - same verdict here! Putin set the trap, Trump fell into it. He could at least stop sitting on chairs like he's sitting on a toilet. Or, like someone said here, "like he's taking a dump." Ugh! Dumbest human to hold a major political office.

Wonderful, definitely like a Howard Hodgkin canvas. He always descibed his vivid abstracts as memories of other places, times, events.

Thank you for the terrific compliment, Steve!

Great colours.

Hi, John - thanks!

I want to hang it on my living room!! really!
Hat off!!!!!!
