Big build up of cumulonimbus charging away those cirrus whisps , eyes dragged down the path through a field of splendid flowers towards the tree.My sister sent me lots of big sky pictures all in different moods, they are all from her back garden which is long and looks on to flat open countryside. I have been asked to paint three portrait landscapes of the skies. I have started with Columbius Clouds and the wild flower meadow she planted, not happy with the Ranch Fence but she wanted that to be included in each painting. I shall not use this as one of the three, not at all happy with the result, but it's a start.... A4 watercolour about 90 minutes..

Fabulous - “go on, land my beauty. Aaany minute now”
Medics do seem to ignore back issues - never understood why - maybe they are taught that backs are very complex, don’t go there, “there be dragons”.Good Morning and 6 for me today.
Bright and a good frost here today. The Oaks and Beech on the hill and behind our house, have turned even more autumnal.
More rest and a phone call to doctors as back does not seem to be improving, probably a waste of time as it's back ache but will see what is suggested.
Make good use of time if you are able. Keep Safe.
Thank you.Hope you get your back sorted.
I suppose sufferers also feel awkward bothering them, 'it's just backache' syndrome I know I do and have not made the call, maybe just see how it goes.Medics do seem to ignore back issues - never understood why - maybe they are taught that backs are very complex, don’t go there, “there be dragons”.
Ah, that blooming tax. Wasn’t it at one time called “mail” - and a bit of backhanded protection money became ‘blackmail” - pretty sure that the system in place now still has a hint of that in there somewhere.@geefull I really like those twp pieces of art and the revelation of your musical talent adds to your aura of woderfulnessitude. @Muddy Cyclist the artwork is obviously to my taste and I hope the Docs can offer a way forward over the back pain. @Alien Aspie hug for the situation in which Miss Daisy places you (swapped from using position) and for the wistful remembrance of your time on The Aegean. Another upbeat meme @karen8967 and great fbg. @dunelm congratulations to your granddaughter, so many dreams and possibilities despite the efforts of the forces of darknes running the show just now. Have a great meal and family time. Hugs for those who dealt with or are dealing with dementia - @jjraak, @Krystyna23040, @lindisfel and @gennepher. Sorry if I missed you out. I'm still in Green Day mode whilst I figure out how much of a Bear Hunt LC eating "must" be for me. Quite elusive but I think I have a cunning plan which involves not "going native" To thine own self be true? No frost here as far as I can tell. Toodle pip chums and just imagine how far you could have advanced in life if you didn't pay tax.
Thank you on both counts.@Muddy Cyclist the artwork is obviously to my taste and I hope the Docs can offer a way forward over the back pain.
Nice, I used to enjoy industrial landscape painting in my youth living in the Black Country. Like that industrial sky and depth you have achieved even with a mainly silhouette style.I decided to go all industrial yesterday so here are some steel works.
Forgot to post yesterday so will post yesterday's 3.6 and today's 4.0 now.
Ade made it to Rome yesterday and sent us a text that every thing went fine and he arrived safely.
Talking of musicality when he was at school Ade decided the Trombone was what he wanted to play and was really quite good his school orchestra performed in Liverpool RC Cathedral one of the pieces was Panis Angelicus which happened to be one of his Grandmother's favorites
Now the guitar is his instrument of choice also when he was up here last I could not get my ukulele back off him the entire time he was here.
Judith can play the guitar but not by ear give her some sheet music and away she goes because that's the way she was taught to play.
You are right about dementia. We looked after my father in law for 3 years until he died. It was really interesting that our dogs picked up he had dementia before we did.

Problem is I have been prescribed Aspirin low daily dose since having stent grafted for AAA and the Iliac partially blocked off. To thin the blood in order avoid blood clots and strokes or other effects caused by blood clots wandering around the body.
So can't really avoid Nsaids completely.
Have tried to get GP to prescribe alternatives but so far no go.
