Realists and Removalists

There has been a great deal of noise and activity in my neighbourhood today, with a stream of removalist trucks coming and going, and such a clatter and clamour as I have never heard before.  A personage by the name of...


...Mr Charles Fairfax Murray has been standing on the footpath waving a stick around and pronouncing to all and sundry that he is in charge of the goings on.

Kate in one of her better moods
Kate the Great has been sitting on the nature strip, screaming and yelling and stamping her feet, and using up a rather large quantity of paper tissues, which are now wafting down the road rather untidily.  Kate tends to behave in a loudly tearful and obstructive manner whenever she cannot have her own way, which is why I do not consider her to be amongst my dearest friends.

It appears that the house next door, its contents and artworks have been purchased by an extensive and rather mysterious international consortium, which is why Kate is so distressed.  I am yet to gain very much information at all about the extravagance of the purchasers, so if you can assist at all, dear reader, please do.  Do you know much about the consortium in question?

Kate is certainly displeased.  She has never been a particularly collaborative sort of person, except when it boosts her own prestige.  If you wish to know more about my own opinions of her, do please read some of my earlier blog-pamphlet postings:


Nuisances

Know your Candide dates

Bastions and belvederes


The parable universe of Twaklin

Clootily charismatic

A new professor


A convoy of celestial teapots

Seats and conceits

A winner in the wind


Well, you will know that I am more interested in realism and teapots than real estate, the antics of removalists, rare antiques, aesthetically displeasing artworks, or the obsessions of irresponsible despots. I like realism in both its philosophical and political forms, and you will, by now, know that I am quite an expert on its Adelaidean and Twaklinian interpretation.  Are you a realist yourself?
