THERE'S A DRAGON ON MY DESK!

 .
There I was, at my desk, working away at the story of Jenny Busk, Batimore soprano, when ... Suddenly there was a crash, just east of my right elbow ..



What in the .... my heart was in my voicebox ... a dragon! Or something out of Jurassic Park. Sitting on top of Sevvy's cook book!

And .. oh dear! Just yesterday, after all my travels, I decided it was time I got myself a nice picture of Wendy, and a nice picture of Paul, to decorate my home. Some lovely yellow frames from Beachside Bargains, nice prints from Yamba Photographic, and last night they took their place on my desk.


And now they've been sent flying onto their faces by ... by a dragon.

I ran for help ... and a broom ...


These things DON'T run. They sit like statues for hours ...

I've got him on to the terrasse. He's alternating between scratching on the doors to get back in, or hurling himself against them (it's glass! don't dragons learn abour glass) and WADDLING like a top-speed dinasour round and round the balcony, scaring the mynah birds ...



Argh. Go away!

NOW where is he ...?

Yaaaaaaaah

  1. Hi Kurt
    I am interested in all the artists who have been pupils of Gilbert Duprez or his son Léon Duprez. Among them Jenny Busk . I tried to find something in your "Victorian Vocalists" in vain. Do you plan too write something about her, soon !

    P.S. I can send you as well what I found about her , some few things from which I suppose she has been pupil of Duprez when she came in Paris . She is said to have been pupil of Wartel too after her studies In Leipzig .
