The site has been mentioned before, but another plug is always welcome. Ossygobbin works hard at keeping it fresh and updated.

Heather Long is in the bottom right corner, white blond hair.

Are you sure it is the right one?

When you were in your teens she wasn't born.

Perhaps it was her gran?

In Renaissance art they discovered what's called the Golden Ratio, where the most important subject is placed specifically at a place that's most pleasing to the eye. It's all to do with dividing the composition into thirds, both horizontally and vertically.

Well I'm at that positon.

Brenda was our Heather's mum's name.

Glad that's settled.

It is.

Now turn to hymn 174, on page 98 of the hymn book I've written and had printed for you.

'Immortal, Invisible, Non-partisan Political Observer Only Wise...'
