Going straight in the boot...no idea how Siobhan will get it home ordinarily I would have dropped her off home but now it will cost £15 because the Congestion Charge is active 7 days a week until further notice.

Blinking heck @HarryBeau it's gone up that much!
I didn't get round to renewing my congestion charge pass this year, so it has run out now. I thought, with this coronavirus thing would I ever be driving round London again?
 
Late to the party, straight 6.0 today for me.

@gennepher Happy birthday, have a lovely gentle day :)

Went out for my walk and saw the folk waiting for the pubs to open, people everywhere, so I just turned around and headed back. Best start stocking up ready for wave #2 I guess.

Enjoy the day :)

Thank you @Alien Aspie
I am sorting my vegetable patch at the mo....

Looks like too many people...
 
Bearing in mind just who and what dominates my immediate area very rude to forget. Good point made in the Washington Post this morning : “How is it,” asked Samuel Johnson, “that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers” of enslaved workers? There was no good answer to that question." Remarkable how the take back controllers, end lockdowners and anti wokers have "cancelled" that quote.

My ZenBrush2 app painting for today.

My first attempt at a cat!
I might try more cats today....

For my real paper and ink Chinese paintings, I had various seals, and 20 years ago I could write my Chinese name. But I cannot do my Chinese name on this app yet, my hand is far too clumsy. However, I have been trying to figure out how to do a simple pictorial Chinese seal (the last few days) for my ZenBrush2 paintings. This is the most successful so far, to say I am a cat painter (albeit only one cat painting so far).

@gennepher Do like the almost cartoonish quality of this cat.
 
So here is my first Sea Cliffs watercolour. My son drove off to Cornwall with his Caravan this morning, rather him than me. Anyway I thought about the Cornish coast and it's many coves, this taken from a plein air sketch I did a good few years ago A4 and about 90 minutes.

I think it was originally sketched near Boscastle or Tintagel.

Good later afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and birfday painters, been AOL recently. Please don't ask.

Hopefully ab normal posting will resume along with abuse tomorrow, well maybe.
Now I must nip on the keyboard and murder a rendition of Happy birthday for our resident Picasso @gennepher be grateful you won't get to hear it.

Nice - I particularly like the way that you dealt with the changing colours of the sea
