That's a good excuse! Must try it some day and see how far that gets me with SWMBO....

I don't think I recommend it really. She peeped over my shoulder yesterday and gave me a very clear "oooh, that's expensive" noise whilst I was drooling over Heuer Autavia. Happily the Sinn book comes without a pricelist.

Ah yes; definitely pastiche/homage.

Good colour combination though.

Same with my excuses...now that she has accepted insanity, it's ok.
