Many thanks, Karen.big hugs to you and better half lindisfel xx
Absolutely Alf, sometimes their forgotten.Best Wishes and a hope for a swift intervention on the part of the medical profession.
Who supports the carer? Sometimes they need support.
Thank you Geeful for your encouragement and very tranquil and restful art you practice.good afternoon all
4.5 yesterday and 4.5 today
volunteering for a couple of hours yesterday then spent the evening cooking the multiple packs of minced steak we bought on Wednesday ready for the freezer Been out in the garden with the weedkiller this afternoon whilst it's warm and dry
I thought it was a bit of a job getting a dog to take tablets, I now see that a cat wins hands down
@lindisfel - internet hugs of support to you and to mrs L, hope the medics can move forward for you.
@gennepher - I love the dock/river plein air, those pylons make a pleasing visual pattern, the suspension bridge is a very strong graphic image and your swan has a haughty air, quite cross and regal
@JohnEGreen - I find your abstract pic pleasing, very good first go
@dunelm - I like your lilypad and frog, very fluid technique and I'm amazed by the foliage rendition on the branch and, once again, you have produced a strong and pleasing composition.
Interesting idea, cutting down a brush, and your 'live' picture shows your strong stroke work well
@Alien Aspie - great rendition of Jodrell Bank, particularly the dishes which are very well placed and solid in their landscape, I've only ever seen it from a distance and always wanted to go visit there
That's a fun pic today and a nice tribute to A(u)nts
@Muddy Cyclist - kudos for branching out into other media, both wax sketches are interesting but I especially like the landscape. I used to have a brass rubbing of a knight I did when I was a student but that's the nearest I've got to using wax, although a neighbours' daughter makes encaustic 'paintings' using wax and an iron.
Art bits -
art working not back to daily level but I'm trying to do some regularly.
two days worth coming up
no 1 - another shot at a 'zen' painting, trying out strokes with one of my new brushes,

no 2 - as I promised (or threatened ), more waves
as far as I remember this was based on a photo seen online.

A bad day at big rock - the loony could now Nominate and get through a conservative supreme court judge for life - not a good day for those living under his dictatorship.6.5 this morning, but it is insignificant following the news of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The idiocracy that is the US govt can move forward unchecked. Whilst US planes play 'chicken' on the borders of China the idiot in charge has said he will ban Tik Tok and We Chat on Sunday. We may think that this move is not a big deal, it's only social media, but not only will it cause China to respond it is also a move we'd expect from dictatorships seeking to close down free speech.
My family and friends out there need to get out before they can't. Really bad day
Just got back - it went swimmingly well. No wait longer than 3 minutes and most of the heard were compliant to simple instructions. Far easier than trying to shove a pill down the throat of a cat or clip it’s nails from all acounts.How to deal with all the above? Hug for @Alien Aspie and, yes, things look bad so we can only hope the US electorate make a wise choice. @dunelm great community service and shining example. @jjraak good spot and share. The art express sure does speed along @Muddy Cyclist. A ghastly 6.1 from Stabbo after a Super Salmon (with crispy skin) OMAD. Can't disguise the fact LC doesn't deal with any minor ailments well and is devoid of comfort food. I do weigh 73 kgs and bought a new car yesterday, SPo2 at 98%, resting pulse 60 and temp 35.8 so seasonal cold methinks. I did check availability of tests but Mogadishu seems more than 6 miles away. Big day here yesterday, all the littlies at preschool out in the garden and chatting at pickup about red planes and pointing upwards
Come what, come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day eh, Big Mac.
Hi A.A.
You mentioned Robins the other day.
I took this one the other day through the patio door window after cutting a hedge.

I needed some support yesterday
Hi.
Fasting blood glucose 5.6 at 7am today.
I had a better night than I have had for some time but I tripled my intake of Eplerenone yesterday, which blocked more aldosterone receptors and cut the alkalosis.
I also feel less tired and exhausted, the last year or two has been a struggle.
(At c.£80 for a tab of 28 tablets three lots are quite expensive, but the NHS will pay, I worked for 44 years, so I deserve it! )
Will be getting on to my Endo next week.
and run it past my eldest later today, when we zoom.
regards
Derek
Ps. I hope I have not missed out anyone who wished me well. Atb to all.
I have art to post, but I will leave it as a thumbnail and you can choose to view it.
My painting today reflects events. Everything on the canvas apart from the photo of RBG is by me. I couldn't do her justice, hence the photo.

Thank you for your compliment on my squirrel @geefullArt bit -
we have one of those rose bushes that produces big ornamental hips just by the fence, it's a bit invasive but so colourful this time of year
I do hope Charlie is OK.Morning...no time for FBG back off to the vets with Charlie an emergency appointment have to dash due there at 10 am thank goodness I spotted it before they closed for the weekend.
Hope blood sugars settle once you get rid of the cold and that you don't feel too 'under the weather'.so seasonal cold methinks
Sounds like yesterday was a good day. Hope you are enjoying driving the new car.and bought a new car yesterday,
Very emotional and apt art. Well done, the world needs messages to be heard and art is great way to do it.I have art to post, but I will leave it as a thumbnail and you can choose to view it.
