been drooling

ive been drooling over a string of beads and thought i would share them with those of you who havent found them yet. they are made by the lush jaq and they are stunning. i am hoping to get one for my sister as a christmas pressie later in the year.

todays uks promt is..... You're having a small intimate dinner party with lots of good food, perhaps a glass or two of wine, and LOTS of sparkling conversation. Each of your five guests must be a real person but can be historical or currently alive. Who will you invite and why? What do you really want to talk about?

1. charles barclay loreilhe...i want to know if he really is my 8x great grandfather and what life was like for him.

2. michel loreilhe.....charles barclays father, why did he leave france..was it because of the french revolution.

3. leonardo da vinci....i'd like to know why was mona lisa smiling and i'd like to show him that most of his drawing are now real working machines.

4. andrew hardie...my husband so we could have a kiss and a cuddle and say goodbye.
