It a particular colour Baz, but they also say it is used as a pigment in paint.

The red one is saffron, yes? 

Hi Xochi. Are you asking me if saffron is used as a pigment in paint? I'd have to engage the Google-machine to find out.

Saffron is a spice usually found in cuisine and can range from deep red to pale yellow, depending on which variety of crocus it comes from.

Last one today - did you see the latest ones over the page?

 

Yes, cos I'm on the app , so the pages are longer

Ah, never used the app, so not familiar with it's layout Baz. Is that the app mentioned in the sticky?

Yes, it is that app EC ....I use it all the time since my laptop bit the dust ...I will really miss it when they finally pull it

So what will you do? Buy a new laptop or tablet?

I'm using the IPad EC ...the app works on there ....would love a new Mac Air but can't afford it ....my old 17/18 inch Mac Pro still works , but it's first generation , and is quite heavy , so I tend to just leave it in the study and use it as a desktop

But you will still be able to use the iPad via a browser instead of the app won't you.

Yes, but I don't find it as easy EC ...my eyesight isn't brilliant , and the text is much smaller ....I have the app on X2 .....

I had a quick look and noticed that Apple has an accessibility page which details some tools which you may find of help, one is called zoom.

Yes, I've tried zoom EC ...trouble is it the text goes back to normal after each refresh ....

That's not good, you obviously need it to stay put once you set it. I'll keep my eyes peeled, if I spot anything I will let you know. Maybe other browsers offer more useful features.

Thanks EC

I like that one

Is it good or bad that I can/can only name 3 of them?

I think it's a good thing, after all it is a good number of years since they were all in the public eye I guess. But since you asked I can't name the other two assuming you already know Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr. But from memory and I'm not cheating by looking it up I think the other two are Peter Lawford and Joey !!!!!!! Doh!  I may be in the ball park - someone will correct me. 

ooh, those names feel familiar!

Verified on google.

 

 Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop

 Ooh I was so close. Glad I had a stab before checking 

 

One of my classic questions at work is to ask someone to name the magnificent seven. They usually can't name Horst Buchholz or possibly Brad Dexter.

I could have named Horst, but would have struggled over Brad.

I guess it's a theme.

That one's easy - Clint Westwater

 

Close, Clump Eastbud 

He is however my favourite movie star.

That's quite an unsettling pic EC .

I quite like the juxtaposition of colour in the fields with the angry sky. The leafless tree almost goading the sky as it stretches a stark branch or two toward the clouds.

I can't make up my mind whether the storm is coming or receding ...and the tree looks rather bleak ...almost like a lightening strike but from the earth upwards ...if you know what I mean

Yes I do and I like your thoughts. The earth goading the sky with it's own form of strike.

Yes

We should be art critics Baz 

I reckon we could give them a run for their money EC And I did actually do some art history at uni ...
