good evening all
4.7 yesterday and 4.7 today
fell alseep yesterday evening and missed posting, we'd been up early to drop the car off and do the shopping, finally got the 'steering fault' car back, they've cleaned all the contacts on the sensors and now we keep our fingers crossed that it has worked otherwise looks like it may be expensive. So far so good.
We got that car because Mum couldn't get out of the older one but we kept the old volvo as a backup, which we were glad of this week but it developed a horrible grinding on the way home yesterday
mr gee says he thinks it's a drive shaft bearing. Can't get it into the garage until next Wednesday, not our week for cars
Otherwise it's been a lovely day today
so warm and sunny there were kids playing in the sea. We enjoyed our walk round the village.
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - Your dragons are very effective and I enjoyed their backstory
I especially like the way you've used the green shadows and mirrored it in the foreground.
How nice for you to have your 'fairy' things around the garden and your toadstool painting glows
I see the dragon is putting in a guard shift there too.
Postcrossing sounds like a really interesting and friendly way to communicate
@gennepher but
you're braver than me going for a fountain pen, I do think they make you concentrate on the form of your writing though.
@BRSBRI - hugs for mrs B and many congratulations to your daughter
@Cumberland - nice to see you
@alf_Josiah - good results
@Mrs T 123 - commiserations and better luck next time.
@dunelm - what a fantastic sense of scale both your mountain pictures have, like them both very much. I'm with you on the idea of ironing the paper, I like the effects the water has and the way it adds to the texture.
@Muddy Cyclist - haven't sung 'Now is the month of Maying' for years, you managed a fine performance despite the technical difficulties of being separated.
I really like you Aldburgh painting, the colour in the sky and the complementary echoes in the water and foreground are lovely, very dramatic with just the silhouette of the buildings
and two fine skies to start the next part of the series, I do enjoy seeing this stage and then the finished paintings.
@lindisfel - many congratulations to you both
art bit -
I've ordered some bigger paper which will hopefully be coming in the next few days, got to try it sometime
some unusual colours seen on the way home from Mum's a few days ago, the sea was quite coppery and the hills violet
