Ann Lewis VPRCA

Catching up with my lesser used social media platforms this morning ... sorry for lengthy radio silence on Twitter/X - since my last post, I've moved house, been surrounded by boxes & made a studio planning application! annlewis.co.uk/Greetings-Cards and annlewis.co.uk/One-off-Print-…

A quick zip around my 'Affordable Art Sale' (this morning in the village Chapel vestry) raising money for Sightsavers. facebook.com/share/v/18tPiC…

The RCA's secret postcard auction is picking up speed. Very interesting to see where the bids are going. There are a handful of little anonymous gems still waiting to be spotted. Definitely worth a look. 32auctions.com/organizations/…

So many tempting pieces of art. I've placed a couple of modest bids ...fingers crossed nobody outbids me.

@HughEdw31897368 @AdamLuxon @KayBurley @SkyNews Couldn't agree more. Her interviewing style is shallow, repetitive and pointless.

@AdamLuxon @KayBurley I called it out yesterday. She’s rude and obnoxious, you learn nothing from her interviews, it’s all about her. Contrast that with Wilf Frost who does fair, balanced and respectful interviews. @SkyNews should replace Burley with Frost.

Kay Burley’s behaviour during this interview with Darren Jones today was absolutely disgusting. She was unnecessarily rude to him. Look at her response when Darren Jones apologises to her. @KayBurley

@SueSal41757 @littleramstudio A fish finger sarnie should be a naughty treat. This is neither of those things.

@littleramstudio Good grief, not very appetising , you’re not expecting Michelin star, but certainly better than that. I honestly couldn’t eat that bread! They should be trying to fatten you up too 🙄. Looking forward to knowing all starts tomorrow and , even better, when it has finished! ❤️🙏🏻

Tuesday lunch. Fish finger sandwich with coleslaw. No butter on bread, had to use my own. Not fond of white bread, so like a fussy four year old I left the crusts. Pud mandarins. 5/10

@littleramstudio Good for Gary for being on the case.

Tuesday tea horror! My journey into kosher food ends here. Omelette, rosti, veggie sausage and there was meant to be a mushroom sauce. After a bite of each it was a big no. Have resorted to cheese on oatcakes. 0/10

@janehordley Thank you Jane. I wanted to try something a little different to my usual Mackintosh style favourite font. This was far more complex to cut but worth the extra hours I think :)

@annlprintmaker Great script. So nicely cut

First edition of 202, what?? (Sshh, I started between Christmas and New Year). Printed in good time for Dydd Santes Dwynwen on Jan 25th and just uploaded to my website ... there's a cherry red version too. annlewis.co.uk/One-off-Print-…

@alcanlin He acts with his eyes. Mesmerising and brilliant.

It’s all in the eyes, the sadness… he knows what his fate will be if he takes a single misstep… Mark Rylance’s portrayal is astounding… there is always something going on in his face, and yet he is so still… so watchable #WolfHall

@NicolaJW79 @so270317 @JayMcGuiness Unforgettable :) mind you, so we're so many of their dances.

@so270317 She gave @JayMcGuiness jive a 9 because it was “only week 3” … I’ll never forgive her for that! His jive is the best the show has ever seen!

@janehordley It was a great day thank you Jane, despite the appalling weather!

@annlprintmaker Hope it’s a good day for you

All set up for the 'Art and Music' day at Kyffin Cafe in Bangor tomorrow. All sorts of 'linocutty' handprinted items on my table :)

@DianeDiy @nash_aaron @ArchRose90 He bought a farm to avoid paying tax ... Unlike the rest of us who have no way of getting away with it.

@nash_aaron @ArchRose90 Absolutely. More people should speak to the BBC like that He’s an arse, we all know that, but he’s doing the right thing for farmers. He’s a good person to have on their side

Clarkson: After this, 96% of farmers will pay IHT. BBC: Where did you get that figure from? Clarkson: From the same place Rachel Reeves does, from the middle of her head. From the 6th form debating society she was a no doubt a member of which shaped her opinions and yours. 🔥

@littleramstudio Best news this year x

I'VE GOT A TRANSPLANT DATE!!! Well, provision, 11th Dec so will be in hospital for Christmas. Saying a huge thank you to the 27 year old female in America who is a perfect donor match including blood type, without her this wouldn't be happening. Hope she lives a fantastic life.

@lindacrk @SandyofSuffolk ...or be their neighbour. What a couple of misery guts.

@SandyofSuffolk I'm watching it too...they are both so miserable, who in their right mind would want to visit them!

Watching Location Location Location on channel 4. Middle aged couple want detached 4 beds, 2 reception rooms, kitchen/diner, 2 bathrooms for 475,000 near the coast and a railway station. The first house has everything on their list of requirements. The normal height ceilings are too low and the huge rooms are too small. For the two of them. God help us. 🙄🙄 And we're only 15 minutes in. 🤣 I can't bear it. 😫

@Captn_Hurricane @DonnaWarburton1 Excruciating!

@DonnaWarburton1 Klangoglen! OMG.

Always interesting hearing the panic in the voices of news readers when they have to say Welsh place names. Ask a Welsh colleague, you’re bound to have one, we get everywhere.

@LloydCymru @DonnaWarburton1 ...unlike the guy on Sky who called it (something along the lines of) Clan-bryn-mare :(

@DonnaWarburton1 Fair play to the guy who presents BBC Breakfast. He got Llanbrynmair spot on earlier.

...give me strength. Yet another abominable pronunciation of a Welsh place name on TV, some trashy programme called "Help! We bought hotel' ... one of the new owners has just attempted Llanerchyddol Hall, calling it Clan-uch-udol Hall ....*sigh*

@littleramstudio Here's a hug from our Elf. Have been thinking about you today x

At the hospital, it's not great news alas. Chemo has put original cancer into remission but the cancer has broken off into 2 new areas, shoulder and renal area. Consultant is looking for another chemo therapy to halt it's spread. I'm not feeling well so they're running tests.
