Dear Mark

Saturday

06.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed

 

left for market and walked to Portobello Green, put my name on the list for casual traders

got my pitch and let the lock up know where I was, started setting up what I had on me..

my gear arrived in the cage on wheels... and I spent the next 2 hours setting up the stall... Edward visited, he's looking happier... we discussed busy 'mummies'  I assured him that my daughter is 24 and has just started to teach singing ...anyone need a singing instructor??? She does have voice grade 8... but as I said busy mummies simply don't have time to ask for help ...and after all I don't mean to be rude when I am setting up the stall but I do have to concentrate on where to put things and today was very tricky... my business is my business... helping wouldn't really make it any easier...so much stuff to fit neatly into a small space and today I had 2 tables so why is more less???

 

Marge arrived and after a bit I went back home in order to put up my notice online and get on with the daily pain...  wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary, forwarded both to Dear Sirs and updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly ..

 

baked some muffins and tidied up..

 

continued working on the websites and catalogue

 

lunch of cauliflower cheese and millet

 

continued working on the websites and catalogue

 

made some tea to take back to the market with a muffin for Marge

 

got back to Portobello Green and we discussed sales, I weighed up all the products for the website and we did sell enough to pay for half of the pitch... sold one of the coursage!..thank goodness it was better than last week and the rates haven't increased too dramatically, Fridays the pitches are by the foot...hmmm and cheaper?? new management, started to pack up at 17:00 and we were ready to call Jim by about 18:10.. which we did and called by to collect the stuff from me thanks!

...by the way we do speak English! For some reason or other one individual with whom I spoke express

extreme surprise at the fact that I could... lts put it this way by nature I am wary and I have been bought up with a lot of disciplining in respect of 'social etiquette' but although I spent 10 years of my childhood in a German 'kuhdorf' we had a lot of visitors and surprisingly they even teach English in German schools...

hate to say it but we did win the war and I think that it was evidently part of the peace deal that they should it's just a shame that the Brits don't seem to understand that it was they who wanted the language popularised don't blame others for what you've effectively decreed... but then history is a contentious

subject too isn't it…... who's 'English' and what is 'English' .. I've spent the majority of my life in the UK ..

I've even read the classics despite Grandpas dodgy red books and red as in political Cambridge rather than Oxford... not that he didn't get me to read Tolkien.... as well as Alice in Wonderland... it's surprising how crapdemics read one anothers' tomes... problem is I probably don't speak telly tubby...

 

by the way the tissue paper is only £ .50p..is that so unclear??? Sorry for the confusion but really it is economical and 10 sheets for £ .50p..at least the prices are on the packs..

thanks to the guy who bought one pack and I owe you one penny sir sorry about that..

 

got home around 18:40 had some tea and soaked in bath salts...with water..watched tv whilst eating chilli and rice with salad... checked my accounts and no Jim...I haven't actually had those recipets for the lock up yet must ask Marge to remind Danni... we've only had the ones for the pitch

 

 

 

 

yours  as ever,

Friday 05.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed had scrambled eggs and spelt crackers for breakfast

worked on the www.bhaletavisiblearts.com  website

 

wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary forwarded both to Dear Sirs, updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly

 

continued working on the websites and catalogue

 

lunch of mackerel, quinoa and salad

 

phoned the market in order to book in and let them know that I'll need my stuff from the lock-up

a supplier called to return my call and Marge phoned re our meet, early please as I do want to get to bed early...haha

 

continued working on the website and wrote my shopping list

made it to the supermarket by 4.30pm having phoned to request a postponement of our earlier agreed meeting time as I needed to pop into the art shop for a ruler en route...how did I guess that they were on sale..

 

got home around 18:30 and cut some backing board in order to better present my A3 posters, sadly the board has shot up in price so although free at the moment I will have o increase the price of posters with board supplied, the good thing is that they are ready to frame...practically depending on the type of frame...yep I am sourcing suitable frames, the framed ones on display are display only at present...

had supper of cauliflower cheese..don't know how I made it though as I was so tired either the 'erbal tissanes or just tiredness... drunk with tiredness...a glass of wine and I wouldn't have eaten... got to bed by 22:00

 

to tired to wait for the website to save in order to switch off the computer.. won't happen again...

 

yours  as ever,

 

Belinda Hale

 

Friday 05.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed watched breakfast news.. washed up from last night...

 

wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary,  wrote to Acme

forwarded both to Dear Sirs, emailed lil issy thanking her for her email

 

updated the Visible Arts Ltd website, accordingly

 

worked on my websites which are to be published

 

Issy phoned en route to her next gig.. yep she's doing some 'harmonies' you might see hewr tucked between the drums somewhere at a festival...   providing they found the supermarket whichg I had to locate for her via the internet... God Bless mums who work from home... feels like it did when she was on her Gap Year... I'm miss money penny to the touring kidz.. alright love it's about 5.12 miles along the A???ok. What are mums for... food. I'd love to come to the picnic but... I've got my own market...

no disrespect but n their own circle they're quite well known... but mums should never compromise their 'dignity at work'... or behave like groupies and I'm certainly not being labled her lesbian groupie ...it' not fair... you do all the hard work then you can't witness the results so listen to them whle they're still at School... I did as often as possible... it may be your last chance... and they grow up very quickly...

you'll miss them. I miss her and her little mates very much... rolling in at 3 am and eating my muffins after I went off to Church leaving them ready baked... God only knows but at least they were safe and none of them got pregnant... far to worn out from dancing the night away and swopping notes on whatever..

Kidz the wall of fame is still here! Elvies sister didn't get on to it yet.. I am going to photograph it before I paint over it.

 

lunch of more cottage pie and peas...followed by stewed  plums and ice cream

continued mooching around doing a variety of bits and bobs... it's been one of those weeks

took the rubbish out and cleaned the kitchen floor, saw my neighbours son and asked him whether they compost...they do...am hopeful that they may be open to the suggestion of moving my composter downstairs so that the use of it can be shared, must contact the landlords...

continued working on the site and thinking over things... like how to best incorporate the software which is now working and which I can now envisage as 'published'... it has a particular 'layout' and needs to be integrated accordingly... more testing needed

 

had supper of more curry quinoa and a lil yoghurt..ok should've had salad but didn't

worked until 23:00 despite not wanting to but did watch rogue restaurants and that dr in Malawi ..seems ... health care out there outranks ours...as for those restaurants well having worked in some very posh places they're not all as posh as they appear to be... no names... worst thing that I ever witnessed was a steak which was accidentally dropped into the pig swill fished out washed under the tap re-heated and served up...not by me ... they'd run out of steak and frankly if the chefs off in some cases ... the dish washer may be doing the cooking... I'd pay my respects to the chef at all times..and tip the staff...I've heard that they'll spit on your food not to mention worst things in other countries.. travelling isn't all that it's made out to be... generation x are the proverbial 'get even' kings and queens.. trust me but when they get it wrong they o so with magnitude.

 

yours as ever,

 

Belinda Hale

Thursday 04.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed watched breakfast news.. washed up from last night... must find the dishwasher manual... it doesn't seem to be running properly... it rinses but it stalls on a full load...

sits there doing nothing??? striking...hmmmhmm

 

 

wrote The Artists' Diary,  updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly ...

 

finished putting up shelves, and continued organising my office as well as fixing things... it turned into a day of doing little jobs... Issy phoned with intentions of staying... am still deciding on things to take to the lock-up and planning what I need for Saturday.. had odd phone calls from a mobile phone company asking for someone unknown to me... three called 3 times... I think.. odd

 

had lunch of butterbean curry and quinoa with watercress salad

 

carried on with the odd jobs until 20:00 eating mackeral and salad with more quinoa for supper then more odd jobs and tidying up until 23:00... watched my candle burn in the dark...fire is mysteriously cleansing....watching something real is so superior to watching something unreal... had a troubled night

 

your as ever,

 

Belinda Hale

Wednesday 03.09.08

 

Dear Sirs,

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed ..had more tea and watched breakfast news

... my Christmas are may arrive sooner than anticipated if the boat can take that short cut which is emerging in the ice cap.... there's always a profit to be made from disasters... the newscasters are always on the case...voluntary workers running the jails you I can see the incentive...an eye for an eye...will they be finding people who have been defrauded by such individual's??

 

Victim Support may no doubt find the miraculous recovery that victims of fraud can make when they see for themselves how very much their assailants suffer???? Pouring coals on the heads of your enemies the scriptures spring to mind and the obvious jailers emerge...my mind is always boggling after watching the news. had breakfast...rice pops with honey and reflected on today's priorities, browsed through a suppliers catalogue in order to check the prices then got to work....

 

wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary,  forwarded both to Dear Sirs with my correspondences to housing benefits. It has a bearing on matters, I keep them posted accordingly... one of my first business bank account managers once said to me that they practically knew what their customers ate for breakfast... I told him that I hadn't had any... they eventually closed the branch down... my relationship with the benefits officers tends to be more intimate... they know why... I did declare an orgasm to them in confidence it was due to my annoyance, which I duly stressed with at certain parties desires to prostitute me but they don't have the right to and it was in my dreams even good girls sin and these days I try to eat regularly...

 

updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly ...

 

pottered around tidying up various things until BT called yey that image issue is an industry wide recognised problem with this particular software??? Well the girl last week didn't seem to know that... I huffed and puffed exclaiming my disbelief at their ability to sell such dysfunctional software...

but we agreed that here ought to be a way around it and eventually we found it ...thee may an issue with saving settings as this is something that I have experienced with other elements of their software products ...the system isn't timing out but sometimes changes don't seem to get saved and this might explain why when we tried a variety of option last week they didn't work but this time we did manage to get it working....at least I now know what to do...thanks... and I can evaluate the work load... not to mention estimate when I can finally launch that part of their site... still a few outstanding things to test like the PayPal facility which appears to be working but I would rather trial the backend via the sandpit think technically... of course I fed back..luckily I stressed how through last weeks technician was, we tried everything and women are just as thorough as the guys.  Finished off my Sunday lunch which I'd luckily managed to remove form the oven where it was re-heating while the techie guy conferred...back end not ...them..they do use the expression..

 

had lunch and uploaded my first trial catalog again just in order to see what the software would display now...hmmm... and checked over the other part of the new site.. well at least the feed is publishing looks like my security settings are working....yes you would need a pass word in order to sign in.. it's getting there..

Got on with my odd jobs as I'd worked on Saturday I finally did some bits and pieces that must be done now or they wouldn't get done until after Christmas...August bank Holiday weekend is my last drinks salon on such jobs now it's mad to try them any mater ...odd shelves a hanging clothes rail and that trellis for my jasmine are finally up with a little bit of India Summer beaming down on me whilst I stressed over those worms...again it has been raining.. this time Techi Cat watched me from indoors... Yawning with boredom at my antics... unimpressed he didn't even come to the window..... alright I ignored him even when it was pouring with rain the other day.. I was in the other room... they think that he's a coward.. poor techie cat.. I met his mistresses Mother who is back from her stay with her sister...we had along chat at the door as we ever do... there's something about corridor chit chat... she's promise to come and see me on the market.. that'll be nice it does get bring at times.. I finally managed to remember to relay a message of thanks for the perfume and we caught up on Lil Issy gossip.. Mothers always gossip about their kiddies  alright I di tell her about the audition that you had.... you almost got it... the frisson... the fact that he works well I dropped that too...

 

had salad and spelt crackers for supper and a biscuit which I should leave alone for they make me fizz inside these days... Issy has certainly broken me into her detox as I'm getting all the same symptoms that she had...not nice ..had an early night with Vervain tea..

 

your as ever,

 

Belinda Hale

 

Tuesday 02.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed

 

wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary, forwarded both to Dear Sirs

 

updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly ..

 

phoned council re clarification in respect of some statements that could not be updated without payments being made into the accounts in question and was advised to make a payment and present an updated a statement including the date also discussed online account statements and it was agreed that I would submit statements in respect of an enquiry only accounts which was no longer n use due to a legal considerate as well as statements form my Pay Pal accounts, I dutifully downloaded printed out and sought information form my bank as well in order to provide a full over bow if my 'portfolio' including my online web saver account and practically defunct ex Tessa...those were the days...

naturally everything will be copied to 'dear sirs' just in case any payments are inadvertently made into the wrong accounts by the wrong parties and passed off as something that they are not..what the police describe as a malicious payment...

been there had that ... the monies were returned to their rightful owners... to my knowledge..

I will not be implicated in bribery and corruption...

finally made it down to the council taking the bus and did wait some time it was busy but they even have TV these days so entertainment is rather bamboozling when you're reading tele text listening for your seeming lottery number they are called out of sequence and read the Sun which was on offer from my neighbour. however once I'd been called we dealt with things very efficiently and I didn't request copies of everything as they were busy and frankly I don't think that there is any dispute that I have delivered the information necessary for them to establish what my capital is...

I have also submitted a full statement in respect of my situation explaining the hosiery of my current predicament in respect of my Missing Art Work and my IPR... I really don't mind every one knowing. Interestingly enough the news carried a report of the issues faced by Portobello Market... at least we haven't suffered Hurricane Gustave..yet...

 

Finally got out of the Council relived that that was attended to and went on my quest for MDF board yes that shelf needs to be done....sadly they were out of it but I had a good snoop around clearance and hey it's been so long since I've communed with the plants..

it's that time of year and this autumn I am not having any flyaway greenhouses which will ruin my flat-roof and upset me in to not planting my bulbs as it did last year.. I had my only mini hurricane and shocking it was...I've only just raised that I could've claimed on my insurance but hey I'm not risking another of those greenhouses..

 

I'm re-using the old one, a little tattered but not to big to fly away..

with half my gardening utensils..

 

my flat-roof may be small but it is my garden... that palm is coming indoors it doesn't like the cold

finally got home and relaxed had an early night having had a ready meal which I picked up en route from the supermarket and a few crunchy biscuit bars my substitute for having had no lunch

 

at least I've followed through as they so sagely said... at the council...those words ring a bell..if I don't open the door to people who don't call me first it's simply due to the fact that I'm already asleep in bed... I don't open the door after I go to bed... unless it's an irate neighbour in distress over something which very occasionally happens .. it's like baby crys you can distinguish them but I was telling bruvver 'iccon that I had a strange knock at the door a few months ago which woke me up .. you would advise me against answering under the circumstances I am sure being as security conscious as you are

 

Belinda Hale

 

Monday 01.09.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed

 

bruvver 'iccon phoned, was already on his way over...thought that we'd agreed dinner rather than lunch but seems that he preferred lunch.. warned him about the papers...and moved one or two things before he got to me... defrosted the lamb in the microwave while he hooked his camera up to that tv... oops make sure that it's working... there's sound .. yep that's it.. we disputed whether my facilities could read his memory card...as I said a memory cards a memory card a jpegs a jpeg and my facilities read both and to his amazement it did without him installing his software on it.. I still have to delete his previous software (boots) had I realised why he was installing it I would've told him not to bother... anyway he learnt something and we had some lunch then he was on his way, he'll be a photographer yet but keep the day it seems to be much better paid... at least the last one was...

 

had a nap yep we had some wine and that's what lunchtime drinking does for me even hugh I only had a galls of wine with ice...drrrr... watched the end of the Choir things and Odysseus...hmmmm when will I see

the man I dream of...

 

did quite a bit of tidying and can see the light at the end of the tunnel...thankfully am getting to the bit when everything starts to fall into place.. yippee and found some things that I need which will save ne looking for hem ..the plusses of tidying up!

 

did some washing and tidied the kitchen too have the ironing ready but gave in to watching the box and an early night ... I needed it.. last week was quite hectic, had some salad for supper with seeds and that ancient wheat bread crackers what's it called.. can't remember also cookies and ice-cream with the ramins f those strawberries

 

tried to call Issy but she was away.. will catch up with her this week sometime no doubt.

no other visitors or calls, apart from Marge who had a message with simply music on her phone..

wondered if it was me as they didn't leave a message well it wasn't

 

call me?

 

Belinda Hale

 

Sunday 31.08.08

 

Dear Mark

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed

got ready to go to market designed more labels and packed up items to re-stock

I was carrying more things down...was given a choice of location and decided to

try the new one upset the shop owner again sorry.... my shelves they were under

the window but I was over he white? .line...Danni!!! It's dotted...  I really didn't

mean to do so...just can't find a good place for my sign but that frame will get

fixed and then it can be properly erected....otherwise the spot is fine and Jims

boy found me this week...last week i told him that I was next to the Chinese

coffee booth.....of course it's changed hands.... poor kid had to be tracked by

Jim I apologised profusely... today it all went smoothly otherwise...

 

Marge arrived at 10ish and I went back home for lunch  & publishing, wrote

the Artists Diary and mailed it to Dear Sirs, updated the website and printed

more labels as well as fetched bits and pieces which I had tidily taken home

and forgotten to take back but at least the containers are tidier and my stock

is better sorted not to mention those account application forms with the

misprints chucked... sorry .. remember that order last Christmas .. don't think

that I'd had time let alone received an invoice yet as it was rushed over for

re-stocking on the 22nd...when I sold one item.... that's the recession that

they're talking about....it's been with us... well the leather notebooks which

I received were not the ones that order but I didn't realise and put the wrong

prices out on the leaflet so sorry to anyone who got that misprinted leaflet

as it was corrected pretty quickly but that was simply having not been on

the market whilst I was undergoing the tests for the big c of which I am clear

but I couldn't it at the time and was simply working on my designs and the

new websites which are to be launched soon as... if you ever spit an error

let me now I'll let you have the item at the advertise rice but I'll tear up the

misprint...the customer is always right but those leaflets are simply a selection

of prices and it did say Spring.. I'm doing some Autumns ones.. haven't been

closed down yet...

 

Got back to the market and packed up around 17:00 got home around

19:00

 

had a quiet evening a supermarket take-away and some salad

no calls no visitors we sold 2 cards which I've practically entered 

into the sales ledger.. the stall pitches are going up in price..

you wouldn't believe how many tables have been stolen   but I did

my stock take and we don't seem to suffer theft, the guy next door

to me did better but people do expect things for knock down prices..

 

The rules and regs are being tightened up to.. at least I've got my

required insurance... I haven't put up my prices yet but I'll be checking

whether my suppliers have on their sites..

at the moment my prices show with the vat inclusive the new sites will

add it at the check-out this may seem confusing but it's how it works..

they're not necessarily cheaper and cards are not vat exempt..

as we didn't get around to eating it on Christmas Day ... I feel perfectly well

so well that I will be having more today... it is a very fine pudding if you're

not stuffed with turkey and I don't have second helpings ever..guess it's the

starter or maybe those nibbles.. made a coupe of calls to the lock-up and to Marge, Mummy called me...olives are quite filling but lovely

Wednesday 28.08.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed

caught train to Liverpool Street..

 

had my first coffee in weeks it calmed me down...with a crunchy biscuit thing

caught train to North London

 

met my suppliers who fetched me form the stain and took me to their showroom where we agreed prices and I completed my order, very good to see the products, then I was given a lift back to the stain wher I caught my train home bringing with me some of my new items for the stall on Saturday ..one offs.. come and see them!

 

wrote to Acme, wrote The Artists' Diary, forwarded both to Dear Sirs

 

met up with Marge at the bank in order to replenish funds and discuss buying

updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly

 

phoned another supplier in order to check their supplies and when they are showing and at which shows...

phoned BT to let them know that I now have an issue with the display of images n the site.. technical support took over the computer and subject to my agreement went through much of what I had tested yesterday and agreed that their still was an issue... and that also my analysis was probably correct but as they install the software in the server I cannot address where it is installed..

problem to be resolved  the software also seems to be unable to agree that the jpg is an image file ...uhhmhum have been there before with the Inland Revenue... I resolved that one entirely on my own but that solution didn't help here... did a little work on my ww.bhaletavisiblearts.com site

 

cooked some plaice with broccoli and quinoa had yoghurt and banana

 

worked on my orders and checked what I need to compliment my current supplies

not to mention budget...

 

my gas supplier called re a survey but I cried off...

 

no other calls or visitors

 

by the way omitted to say that one of my neighbours knocked on the door to say that she has water coming through her ceiling luckily for me I don't and I don't have any antiques which might get ruined.....have a coffin table which is riddled with woodworm...it's the sort if thing one inherits from the clerics.. I wouldn't par with it Grandad had it by his chair all of his life...with his pipes, the ones that you smoke tobacco with

you know it's the stuff that you put into cigarettes, no he was a gentleman I guess he didn't smoke fags...

he was due to go on mastermind and his subject was to have been cricket...he certainly exercised his brain and he was usually hiding behind a book... I was regularly interrogated as to my reading and instructed as to what to read not only by him but by Dad and Mathies... Mummy's given up and considers my general knowledge to be atrocious... girls school and radio 4....

 

techie cat and black cat joined forces yesterday in order to attempt a break in but even with black cats supervision they didn't make it I filmed the whole thing... I felt awful as I'm dying to play with them but I have to tidy the papers first.. I hear him howling now... a little grrrrr they knew that I'd been cooking fish

Tuesday 27.08.08

 

had 2 cups tea, bathed, got dressed breakfast of rice pops with honey I love rice pops with honey but hey

not as much as those things that turn you into a monster...the ads used to terrify Lil Issy

Grandad had ways and means to terrifying us...threatened to lock us up in the coal cellar...we'd play hide and seek.. he never ever found us...we'd hide for hours... in fear of being locked up in the cellar and he'd lock himself in his study.. if he did catch sight of us he'd go bbbbbbbooooohhhh0ooo... don't get me wrong we loved him to bits he taught us chess drafts as well as card games and we had to fo to Church when we stayed with him but we were allowed to play in the Church, there were genuine musical instruments as well as plentgy fo sports gear as in cricket bats, golf and croquet sticks and of course Grandads preciously maintained tennis court. The hide and seek game was always played at parties to spectatular effect his booing terrifying the village children... into demanding to go home.. despite our highly personalised green cakes......... they wouldn't even eat the blue ones...having a vicar for a Grandad is not easy..especially when your other Grandad thinks that he's just a lazy man..... it's hard plying the God line... you've got to create a demand.

that's my crapademic theory anyway, we were good at hiding....

 

wrote to Acme,  wrote 'The Artists' Diary'  forwarded both to Dear Sirs

 

updated the Visible Arts Ltd website accordingly,

 

BT phoned to let me know that the problem was resolved  and it appears to have been except that I now have to re-enter all of the information that I had already entered into the system....so worked on that for most of the day but haven't yet managed to get my images to display in the store.... by which time it was to late to phone BT.. so made note to do so tomorrow but hey I can now log into my store and register customers for secure access.... to a secure site, have re-configured PayPal too...  yes I've read the manual almost in it's entirety...

 

lunch more sweet potatoes rest of yesterdays soya shoots and pappadew peppers still interesting with hey presto spontaneous ingredient ..feta had banana and yoghurt too

 

by which time it was to late to phone BT.. so made note to do so tomorrow but hey I can now log into my store and register customers for secure access.... to a secure site, have re-configured PayPal too...  yes I've read the manual almost in it's entirety...worked on my accounts and got ready to visit the supplier tomorrow, spoke to Marge re our meet later tomorrow....
