Apparently our outside temperature was due to warm up today, but with continual steady rain pouring through the pewter colander overhead we haven’t investigated.
As I near completion of my reading of ‘Crime and Punishment’ I scanned the first dozen of French artist, Philippe Julian’s quirky, yet well executed, pen and wash illustrations. The rest will follow when I feature the book.
This is his portrait of the writer;
and these, the first 11 full page illustrations to the story.
I watched most of the ITV transmission of the Football World Cup Final between France and Argentina.
This evening we dined on fried eggs on toast with a side of tomatoes.
I read Crime and Punishment in high school and liked it so much I committed the cardinal sin of “reading ahead.”
Wonderful Illustrations that fit the mood of the book Derrick. I hope you and Jackie stay safe and warm. Happy Holidays to you and yours 🔔🎉🎅🎁🎄
The illustrations are wonderful, Derrick, they have so much fine detail in each of them. Fried eggs and toast sound good. Simple and delicious!
Have you changed your theme on purpose? Everything looks quite different, and I’m no longer able to comment using my WordPress identity. In fact, it took forever to even connect to your blog; I kept getting a security alert. At least you’re still here!
Just trying this again, to be sure I have the issue resolved. Despite clicking “save my name, email, etc” I had to enter everything again.
And I keep getting this message: “Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

and again. This is a consequence of the final transfer of management of my site.
Thank you so much for persevering, Linda
Those are wonderful illustrations!
I hope the rain stops and you get heat soon.
It looks like you’ve changed your Web site?
Yes, Merril. I am told the transfer to Peacock’s management is complete. I just now need to know how to operate it. Thanks you very much
I love these illustrations
Thank you very much, Sherry
Just testing by logging in using the details that I use for WordPress.
Well done and thank you, Sue
Still testing – Logging in with Firefox
Thanks a lot, Sue
Good luck getting heat back on. Like you illustrations.
Thank you very much, Pat
Another test – Firefox is still asking me to log in. Just teething problems.
Thanks a lot, Sue
Fantastic illustrations! I think I’ve seen the one of the author before. Reading is such a nice pastime, especially as the winds howl outside. Which they are today. We are all hunkering down in anticipation of an ice storm. I’m glad we have no travel plans for Christmas.
Thank you very much, Anna. I hope your winds are not too fierce
