Thank you and absolutely! I shall be going back to Plein Air draw them, I will take a hammer and nails that should keep them sitting better, I'm not going to be frustrated and defeated by their inability to sit.
Two for the price of one, I like both of these tree drawings, prefer the first before the wash, on this occasion. They look more like Alders than mine did.
Winner for BG reading, hug for poor Archie.
Yes, I totally agree that Manuka honey is superb treatment. My only problem with it is that the dogs absolutely adore it so stopping them licking it off can be a challenge.
Are you by any chance thinking of doing what @lindisfel suggested? If you need any help I would be happy to act a the lookout.
I did a silly trick whilst cutting my toenails about 10 days ago. I cut into my big toe, not a lot, but enough!
I remember, mom had a corgi that hated the bin men so we had to keep her inside. The guys would open the back gate very slowly just in case. Their dedication to their job always earned them a good Xmas bonus which these Charlie's nowadays will never see. Same with coalman, he would bring sacks around the back (the dog liked him) and I would feed his horse carrots
Whilst I get that it must be frustrating I do admit to being fascinated by the power of social interaction. The 'need' is almost like watching addicts going through withdrawal.
Belonging to a group of humanity that spends its time at the very outskirts of society the main chatter on our forums is how fast people implode once the restraints are removed.
Wales is a good example at the moment. The second (literally) that lockdown ended they were in the pubs, no masks, no concept of personal safety etc. It all went to the wall in the frenzy to identify as part of a crowd. You can see that no-one cared that their actions will just bring about another lockdown.
Intriguing - no idea what the word means- a big boy told me to use it then ran away. While I'm here I thought I'd share my worries about the tears the Tiers could cause me. Julie has obviously been the support bubble for almost 91 yo MIL so she will be with us for Christmas regardless. What Tier we are in before Dec 2nd will be mission critical. Previous Christmas day with just us 3, I spent 3 full sessions in the gym plus a long dog walk. Her and Julie watched musicals and I wouldn't have gotten away with two .... Now, if we are in Tier 1 I can probably lever the clauses in Bank of Dad Ts and Cs to get my gym fixed. If anywhere higher and I may be looking at sewing mail bags for life. You do see my problem don't ya?
@gennepher - many hugs for the horrible neighbour, I think your idea of utilising your bamboo has real promise, pictures please
art bit -
thank you for the compliments on my sparkly sea, done with dry brush and luck
after my snow attempt of the other day today's attempt is looking at the colour palette and is after a snowscape by an artist called Maria Ginzburg. Slightly larger than A5 and done with my white nights watercolours.

This wall building/Xmas decorations is getting interesting, ideas coming thick and fast, as they usually do with me. I have a video in my head how this is going to go, but unfortunately don't have the technology to download it...yet...
Adrian is a lot better now and has persuaded the powers that be that it would be a good idea for those of them isolating confined to their rooms to be able to spend an hour in the mornings and afternoon out side for exorcise (as long as precautions are taken) which they have permitted so at least he is able to get out of his "cell" for a while each day now.
