Choosing Colours

Hey #TeamReadNosedReindeer here‘s a fun way to earn points for #WinterGames2020 and it starts tomorrow! This is also a reminder to let me know your points total (your complete points) at some point tomorrow. I know so many of you have been posting up a storm and I‘m so happy to see this great level of participation. Hope you are having fun! I‘ve sure been enjoying the holiday romances and my hubby and I watched Die Hard yesterday -a Xmas classic!

15 seconds after this was taken, I was a stairway to the treats I was holding over my head...(Ever tried to get a cat to hold still for a full facial photo on a white background with nothing else in the photo?🤦🏻‍♀️). Cat Export is going *swimmingly*. I suspect exporting priceless antiquities would be easier. Fewer forms too😑. Today was a 9hr debate over whether this cat is orange or ginger & a panic because they forgot Feb = 28 days 😭🤦🏻‍♀️🤯

Soubhiville It‘s a beautiful cat, whatever color you choose to call it! 5y

squirrelbrain Gorgeous puss - looks like a proper ‘tiger‘! Although you‘d best not put that on the export forms... might cause further issues! 🤣 5y

CarolynM The colour thing is tricky. Reminds me of Jeeves describing a cat as "a small lemon-coloured animal" I've always wondered about that.?? 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Soubhiville thanks, we think so too!! (Although funnily enough, he has no markings at all on his body, they‘re all face and belly! ♥️). @squirrelbrain I shudder to think 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Puredragonstar rescue! (Domestic Shorthair basically). We‘re at least his third home, can you believe it?? We rescued him from a British ass who left him behind when moving to Russia with his GF (😡). He‘s the loveliest cat you‘d ever meet. 😻😻😻 (edited) 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @CarolynM hmmm... I wonder!! Maybe a Siamese ? (An ESL friend today said “you don‘t call blondes yellow”!! 😂😂😂😂😂). 5y

ReadingVampire No way! He‘s freaking beautiful, I would never let him out of my sight! Are you his forever home or are you looking for one? 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Puredragonstar in the middle! He‘s moving with us to a Singapore (we‘re currently based in Mumbai) where we are hoping he and our other cat will get along. If it doesn‘t work out, we‘ll find him a new home. (But cross everything that we can work it all out!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻) 5y

ReadingVampire Oh man! Beautiful, I really hope it works out. That guy needs to find his home. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Puredragonstar he does!! We‘re hoping it‘s us but if not, we WILL find it! 5y

My husband thought I was nuts but I thought these colour charts made fantastic bookmarks!! 😍 Especially with their literary names! We‘re painting our hallway ‘Emma‘! 👍🏻

scripturient Ha! Love it! 😁❤️ 6y

laurieluna Our kitchen is painted with Tortoise and the Hare! Never thought to use the sample cards as bookmarks though 😍 6y

JGadz11 Genius! 6y

TrishB One for every book! 6y

Bronte_Chintz These are fab! 6y

Tanisha_A This is awesome! 6y

Caroline2 @miralunasbooknook oh the Tortoise and the hare is a lovely colour!! 😍 6y

Caroline2 @scripturient @JGadz11 @TrishB @Bronte_Chintz @Tanisha_A Thanks, I knew you guys would get it! 😉 6y

squirrelbrain Fab idea! 6y

BiblioLitten 😍 wow, I love this idea. 6y

Laura317 What brand has this? I‘d buy that brand! 6y

GingerAntics Oh I like Merlin!!! I would use them for bookmarks, too!!! 6y

Caroline2 @squirrelbrain @BiblioLitten @GingerMomReader It‘s a great idea isn‘t it! The colour range is called The Bookcase so I think they‘ve deliberately designed them to look like bookmarks! 😍 (edited) 6y

Caroline2 @Laura317 It‘s called The Bookcase range by Valspar Collections in B&Q! 👍🏻 6y

GingerAntics Is there a Hamlet...and if so, what colour is he?! 6y

Caroline2 @GingerAntics no hamlet I‘m afraid! 🤷‍♀️ 6y

GingerAntics Too bad...still love this collection. I sent this photo to a bookish friend of mine who has just been commissioned to pick out the colours to paint a friend‘s house...she said she‘s using this pallet. lol 6y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Haversham!! Ha!! 6y

LeahBergen Cool! 6y

readordierachel Love it! 6y

Laura317 Sadly, not available in US. 😞 GB just is too cool for us yanks. I‘d get one of every color if they were! 6y

rather_be_reading haha what a good idea! 6y

Choosing Colours | Kevin McCloud

I'm all peopled-out! 😓
We went to Grand Designs Live today. Actually, there wasn't a whole lot of design inspiration (the exhibitors were mostly businesses trying to sell you their specific thing) but we did spot Kevin McCloud having a quiet bit of lunch.

I got this book some while ago, ostensibly to practise mixing watercolours, but I do like a nice paint chart; I find them rather soothing to look at! (This book has some gorgeous palettes.)
