Thank you. A very tranquil watercolour from you today, you have captured the atmosphere of the scene beautifully.good evening all
4.5 this morning
off out today to the charity big shed to swap out mr. gee's catalogue and repair work for the week, now we're just going in to pick up the quarantined things donated during the week and take back the items which could be repaired and cleaned, ready tagged for sale from last week's pick up
when we got back the weather had moved from 'miserable and overcast' to sunny so we had a good walk round the village
Hope your day is treating you well
@SlimLizzy - well so long as 'cat' is happy, though the French version is pleasing too
@gennepher - that's a lovely painting, it sparks so many mental images, big hug for your trying day though, glad today is looking a bit calmer
@dunelm - three interesting images with their range of brush strokes, the coloured brush pens look like an interesting tool to try and they make a joyous splash of colour
@Alien Aspie - interesting image, you've achieved a real fluid look
@Muddy Cyclist - I like your pencil sketch very much it has a great feeling of depth and I can already feel the distant landscape of your new worklooking forward to seeing it's development.
art bit - didn't do any art yesterdayended up reading so will have to catch up over the next couple of days.
this one was a calm morning, all the valleys were full of mist, the land spit used to be a ferry point many years ago
sorry for the weird splats at the top left hand corner where the paint got under the tape holding the paper down

Brilliant art your mom should be well pleased.Good morning everyone from a Fabulous Friday in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of courgette “linguine carbonara” came in at 5.2 this am
Spiffing day yesterday and all local. We are so lucky to have so much diverse open space right on the doorstep and within walking distance; North Yorkshire Moors, beaches, parks and salt marshes (run by the Wildlife Trusts).
Today is a bit of a blank slate but walking will be involved. The BBC weather page of lies and deception talk it up about light cloud and some gentle breezes with only a 9% chance of rain - but they would say that would’t they.
My mother, who taught Chinese art for several decades, thinks I should move onto Chrysanthemum - one of the Four Gentlemen of Chinese brush painting (plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum). Ah well, we have to look after our parents so here we go.
Have a wonderful Friday. I am heading for the koffy pot.

I might try using frozen potatoesI am losing all my eBay bids on postcards this morning!
All my mail alerts are informing of this!
I made low bids on a few items on Monday for today.
But I dare not look into eBay this morning, because my head is still banging a bit from yesterday, and there is a chance if I increase the bid, I might put the decimal point dot thingy in the wrong place...
I think I need a cooked breakfast. There are some frozen cooked potatoes in the freezer as @alf_Josiah suggested may not increase blood sugars (and they didn't the last time I tried it). So looking forward to a cooked breakfast now...

Good Morning and 6.2 for me today.
Mrs MC says I have to get the house back in order this morning after our let's do every room decorating spree. So she came up with a plan, Mrs MC is off to ride her horse, I'm doing the getting house in order.
Lost my Aunty who was my Godmother yesterday, she was a month of being 100, the sad thing is that my cousins were not allowed to visit her once she had gone into hospital a week ago, must have been so frightening for her, difficult times.
Master time today, once it's gone it's gone. Keep safe.
Yep just like Lola & Charlie before breakfast...he must have done some runningso i'll just leave this for the cat lovers.
I have had those evenings hope Mr K had a hot drink comfy stool ready when you got there.Was really late home last night because of two lots of roadworks on my journey home.
