Five years ago I found myself unable to access my own blog but by some mysterious process I can again. This is my dog and my peewit aka lapwing in my garden. Decades ago there used to be large flocks of peewits in Wiltshire but alas no more. They had a haunting cry, As a schoolboy I rescued an injured peewit and released it back with a large flock when it had recovered.Anthony Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01078934773791678653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273883518828396151.post-87644004671429396542012-09-25T11:23:00.003-07:002017-07-05T08:40:38.011-07:00Sculpture at Venaria Reale near Turin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the remains of my new Morphy Richards vacuum cleaner which I will use as a head for a sculpture of a humanoid as it is suitably anthropomorphic. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">useless</span> as a vacuum cleaner because the tube for conveying the dust to the cylinder curves inside the head and is therefore impossible to clear if it gets blocked which it will do <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">sooner</span> or later. I tried <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">wrangling</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Kand Co </span> who sold it to me.
