* Oops, that's the wrong title. It's what that old moaning schoolteacher down south will probably say. The title should be 'ART FOR ART'S SAKE'.
We bought a metal sculpture today which I've affixed to the side of the house outside the back porch.
It's made by a local artist and depicts a stingray which is apt as we often see these in the bay.
We have a few sculptures and wall hangings around the property which are nice and add extra character to the house.

| On the 'tin' shed |

| In the back porch (now safely protected from the weather since we enclosed the porch). |
 |
| At the side of the house (not strictly art but it's old and nice - like me I guess). |

| At the front of the house |

After I'd installed it (it's bloody heavy), the Old Girl came out to inspect it and fortunately approved the hanging. Earlier she had suggested getting a builder in - "you're too slap-dash Matey" she said.
"We should have bought another one as well" she said "I liked the fern sculpture."
Semper invictus!

Oh, for God's sake! Your house will look like a cafe in a seaside town.
1. Bingo! I was right.
2. We are in a seaside town.
Two out of three isn't bad.
Damn! Caught out again!
"Damn! Caught out again!"
Yep. It all started when that big girl caught you lurking beneath the stairs.
Semper = always? Invictus , I don't know.
Looks good especially on the side of the old shed has given me ideas.
Always undefeated.
Latin, the language they spoke in 3P.
I wonder what language 3R spoke?
In this context semper invictus means constant improvement.
3P boys spoke Latin so that they didn't have to converse with the lower classes.
That's why no one understood them.
True but Tony was hard to understand with or without the Latin.
