In which room will you hang John's picture?    You will have to be sure and let us know if and where any of Madeleine's pictures are hung in your new houses.  It's great that they all look to be in good condition.  It gets pretty hot there so that could affect a painting I suppose.

Oh I am sorry Linda, I did mean Tim's pictures

Well I hope Dan does hang Madeleine's art work up in the new house. How many are there? The caricature of John sounds interesting, did Madeleine do it?

The caricature of John was something I ordered via some local company in Perth for his 60th.  I had forgotten it was there till I spied it in the container !!!!
I think we must have maybe .... 20 + of Madeleine' s paintings !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems such a shame to have all of Madeleines's beautiful artwork hidden away in a container. As you know I loved her art, I didn't understand some of it, but I always saw the beauty in all her work.

Oh I love Billy Connelly, such a brilliant comedian, even if he does swear an awful lot, he is very funny and makes mundane things hilarious.

I agree, apart from his foul language ! Didn't he have Parkinsons ?     I just looked him up and I did not realise he has just died.... 9th March !  I didn't realise that his wife Pamela Stevenson was from New Zealand either ! How sad :(

You see I've not commented on this at all because I don't know Bill Conolly or anything about him, but I do wonder.......is he dead or alive?

Of course you cannot trust ANYTHING nowadays !~

I don't know if he's dead or alive other than what this article says but I do know when I clicked on the link I got a warning from my security thingy that it was a bad site so I didn't read it all.  Then I got a warning saying that my computer has 5 viruses so I went to my security site and everything seems to be fine.   Very strange!  I suppose someone was trying to sell me a new security package.
