I was about to make a nature-morte with crystal and mirrors with the aid of the little funny camera in my little funny cell phone, but my kitty came, and there is the nature-morte with the cat now.

(By the way, the samovar, which we can see in this picture, is small yet a true curio. Samovars were bigger usually. It is said, in Russia in 19th century and earlier, an average family of a merchant consumed tea in volume of 16 big samovars a day, at the average.)

ohlala,
There appears to have been a mistake - or a deliberate slap in the face.
I appear to be no longer listed amongst your Friends - and vica versa.
Is this an accidental event of BCUK's, or have you decided to eject me from your long list? Usually a sensitive soul, I am not aware of having done anything to offend you.
