Another one of my mum's treasures I have found is this very heavy sculpture in what feels like heavy brass by Belgian artist Jef Lambeaux (1852-1908). Depicting 2 female lovers it's a really beautiful thing that now sits on my top shelf in the studio. I remember my dad buying it from someone who came into his second hand shop in the early 70's and he thought it was so cool he had plastercasts made of it and they sold like hot cakes in the shop!

It's Friday!
Really miss the old fridays from mid 2000s London.
Graphic design studios in Soho, Clerkenewell, Shoreditch... the absolute best!
Start winding work down at about 3pm.
Still at a desk but cranking music on the design studio stereo.
Someones got some beers in and handing them out.
Last email sent to the client, meet everyone downstairs in the pub.
Get bought rounds by the creative director.
Four or five pints with no dinner.
8PM and we're already steaming.The night was young and so were we.
- sigh yup.
this reads like an intro to a good book or a bad series :)_niko - Cheers for memories!OBBTKN
- We are still doing this. Not every friday, but most. And maybe only starting after 5.Longcopylover
- The best bit about being underpaid was teh amount of beers we used to get bought, with never any expectation that you'd have to contribute. Bliss!DaveO
- Back in the day...bezoar
- sigh yup.

- Are they practising gardening over the chicken?OBBTKN
- The only acceptable additions to chicken, aside from salt, are a little brandy or vinegar for the final browning.OBBTKN
- Huh? You know chicken can go a million different ways with flavor, acceptably.monospaced
- @OB - You've never had chimichurri or chermoula over chicken? Paprika? Cumin and Turmeric? Chicken's almost the perfect canvas for flavour.Nairn
- I just the other day mixed 'cold fry' thighs with oven bake paprika & chorizo in onions and potatoes with a hint of cumin and turmeric and, my.Nairn
- That's about as [Southern] Spanish as it gets.Nairn
- There's an italian dish that has shrimp and chicken in it, didn't find it satisfying at all, but pop some chorizo in there and prob all good in the flavor hoodcanoe
- Chorizo solves ery'thing.Nairn
- Was kidding ;) But sincerely, the way I love the chicken more is a minimalist one, a bit of salt and rosted in a good charcoal bbq...OBBTKN
- Lately, though, the air-fryer recipe with olive oil, garlic, pepper, thyme, and paprika has become the number one favorite at home.OBBTKN
- This looks fucking lush. I need to make it when I'm back home.Continuity

I have started sorting out my late mothers estate, which is going to take quite some time. She collected antiques and she inherited things from her mother and grandmother, so it will be tricky going through her old things which I will have to decide on keeping or moving on. Amongst the ornaments in her cabinet I found this odd, delicate and quite beautiful 7" high, glass model of a German Howitzer bomb! Decorating the sides are dates and depictions of 4 battles, the sieges of Maubeuge, Namur and Longwy as well as the Battle of Liège, all in August/Sept 1914, at the beginning of WW1.
There is a visible crack to the lid but otherwise it is pretty amazing that such a delicate piece has survived 2 world wars in Germany, I think it belonged to my great grandmother who was born and lived in there until the late 20's when they emigrated to America. I thought I would share some photos of it as it is pretty unique and a beautiful but sad reminder of such a terrible time and if anyone knows more about this glass bomb I'd be grateful for any info. I will be keeping it of course as I remember looking at it when I was a kid.
- Sorry you have to go through all that Gardener. Is her collection as wide and varied as your record collection?Ianbolton
- kinda, lots of unusual postcards, bookmarks, crockery, furniture etc, it'll take ages to sort through...Gardener
- That's a nice looking glass model though. And yeah, mad it's survived through all that.Ianbolton
