Yes, definitely Murphy's law = or perhaps I should call it s***s law. New lock installed, more keys cut and you can guess what happened next. I was in the kitchen and looked into the conservatory and there it was!!! Hiding in plain sight. We couldn't believe we hadn't seen it. How on earth had we missed it.

Panic maybe?
 
On my Muddy Cycle ride today I went past Fair Oak Pools on Cannock Chase and captured the autumn reflection in the pool and so that is my next painting, started will finish Saturday as Friday I am filling a skip at MILs bungalow with all the garden junk, pots, rotten timber, metal and such, it is a Tridy garden but it's amazing what can be found behind things.

So A4 watercolour about 15 minutes so far....

As we went into the National Park this am there was a request on the boundary that visitors should stay away!

We passed hotels that were closed and shuttered. On the west side of Derwentwater there were no cars to pass going other way just cyclists.
A few cars had parked up below Cat Bells and owners were out walking for the day.
The hotel where we took the family for a celebration for a long week end after our 50th... Borrowdale Gates was empty.

The Lakes looks different, nothing commercial is working.
Keswick was quiet as we came through on the east side of the Lake, and the road to the North of Bassingthwaite Lake under Skiddaw had virtually no traffic.

We had a short walk near where Hugh Walpole lived and got a few pics and then home for lunch.

At their best then, make the most of it whilst it lasts.

I'm a bit/lot distracted at the moment but here's my art. You can tell I'm distracted because I didn't bother to finish the background :)

This lady is at our local wildlife centre

Distracted or not you turn up trumps. Not finishing the background enhances this in my opinion. A fine creative picture.

My daily painting challenge to myself.
Like I said earlier I watched the early morning misty sun through the old oak tree...
So I painted a version of that in Procreate.

Here is is...

Oh now that is quite wonderful and so delicately done, telling the story of a tree of some age without having to add any garnish. Smashing.
 
I read a Denis Wheatley book when I was a lad that scared me stiff! It just took one book to break the 'habit'! :)

Hahah Go back to Moana!
I was never a huge fan of WoO... maybe I watched it too young and thought the witches too scary.
Then again I get nightmares is Lassie gets a thorn in its paw!

I badgered my parents for Jeff Wayne's version of War of the Worlds because my primary school bestie had it. I listened to it on Xmas Day and it gave me nightmares for WEEKS! I never listened to it again. Ma and Pa bear were not impressed! In fact when my father passed away and I was going through all his vinyl LPs... there it was in his collection!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Good Morning and 5.9 for me today.

Skip day at MILs bungalow so early start as it's arriving at 7am and it's an hours drive away from us.

Do with your day the best you are able. Keep safe.
 
Good morning everyone from the so far pleasant silence in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of a tray of roasted veg with a drizzle of gravy came in at 5.2 this am

More art than an art gallery this morning. @Muddy Cyclist Womere - superb autumnal scene and looking forward to the Far Oak pools. @Alien Aspie - a fine piece of work and the blurred background is spot on I think. @lindisfel - really enjoying your photography.

My new book arrived yesterday - The Glamour Boys by Chris Bryant - I will have a crack at it later today. I have an Iain M Banks book on the go at present but just can’t seem to get into it.

Is the popular Dominic Cummings looking for some voluntary work in Barnard Castle?

Two pictures again today - one on white unsized rice paper and one on yellow unsized rice paper - never sure what the size is - 39 x 26 cm. Hope everyone has a great day - Friday 13th in 2020 - oh well, it’s Diwali tomorrow so get your candles ready. Koffy time.
