thank you @Muddy Cyclist for the kind comment and for all the encouragement to post artwork and I loved the 'sisters' video @ianpspurs
don't know whether someone has already posted this in for 'sisters', I had a friend at school who listened to this artist often during lunch breaks
today's catch up art post - this is the first watercolour of flowers I did, cheap watercolour paint box I bought from ebay and biro, on craft card from homebargains. Don't think I've quite got the hang of resizing these images though

My mother knits Fair Isle Fishermen’s Keps - I think we all have one in the family. She also does socks and jumpers. Not sure just how much wool she has in reserve as they have been in lockdown at their home in SW France for a while.Actually, I think my designs were more Fair-Isle than Intarsia. I started with a second hand machine in the late 70s and then graduated to a top of the range machine. I think it was a Knitmaster. It was built in Japan and the instruction book was not a very good translation into English.
I never tried skirts but do remember my mother hand knitting a woollen swimming costume when I was a child. As you can imagine it was not a success. The droop of your skirt was nothing compared the droop of this swimming costume when exiting the swimming pool.
Morning all, up with the lark and showing 7.5 with a surprisingly nice 35.4 temperature. We'll see how that goes through the day. managed five hours sleep sitting upright before the dry coughing woke me up.
Better to be woken up by coughing than waking up in one
Symptoms so far are identical to the bouts of pneumonia I have had in the past, perhaps this time the coughing is slightly worse. This is a hopeful sign as #1 I have survived these symptoms before and #2 without an actual test it could be pneumonia. Beginning drug treatment was the right thing to do, this morning the minimal phlegm was very thick and white, sinus pain has stopped although headache upon coughing is still there.
Just in case all the stuff I am taking/doing is reducing the effects I will list them here.
T2: Metformin 500mg x 2 daily
Allergies: Fenofexadine 120mg daily
COPD: Symbicort Inhaler 200/6 usually 2 x 2 daily increased to x4 daily, Bricanyl Inhaler 1x4 daily, Spiriva 18mcg x 1 daily, just added 30mg Prednisolone daily
Infection: Amoxicillin
Supplements: Daily vit D 5000iu, Zinc 50mg, Selenium 200mcg, vit C 5000mg, Magnesium 375mg, vit B12 1000mcg
Exercise: being able to get to the loo is enough
Steaming every 3 hours using 4-5 drops Tea Tree oil and a smudge of Vicks Vapour Rub
None of the above is given as a recommendation for treatment and is listed only to illustrate how I am dealing with the virus. Please consult your doctor who will either dowse or check chicken innards as they aren't sure yet https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
Don't worry, I won't be doing a 'dear diary' every morning, I was just bored
Interesting thread here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/beaten-the-virus.173262/#post-2242557
I do hope that your mother has a good stock of yarn at home. It is good to have something you really enjoy doing while this lockdown continues so hopefully she will be able to continue.My mother knits Fair Isle Fishermen’s Keps - I think we all have one in the family.

That's looking good. Temperature dropping is a good sign. 5 hours sleep is pretty good. Hope symptoms continue to improve today.Morning all, up with the lark and showing 7.5 with a surprisingly nice 35.4 temperature.

On her last birthday, I sent her a skein of Herdwick wool and a drop spindle from somewhere in Cumbria - wonder if I should send her a spinning wheel?I do hope that your mother has a good stock of yarn at home.

If she does have enough yarn it won't be hard to guess what everyone is getting for Christmas.

Popeye is going to be 28 years old in May. He is an elderly cat, but doesn’t behave his age...and neither do I
if you send her a spinning wheel perhaps you should send some sheep also.On her last birthday, I sent her a skein of Herdwick wool and a drop spindle from somewhere in Cumbria - wonder if I should send her a spinning wheel?
A question
Name game today.
Guitar.
Any thing picture film book TV show purely of interest that involves GUITARS.
Be adventurous, put that 24 / 7 web browsing many are doing to good use .or just kill a little time and add content to share with others...sharing IS caring..
We are about 2 weeks away from finding out peoples true hair colour!Morning...been up for a little while keep forgetting the BG fixated on taking temperature not bothering now it is what it is...laughing ( I shouldn't really ) at those attempting home haircuts as salons & barbers will be closed...some absolute disasters lots wearing hats in the coming weeks.
Pleased I let the grey grow in a few months back - think I also got the last hair appointment at the hairdressers before they were told to shut up shop.We are about 2 weeks away from finding out peoples true hair colour!
Nice to know even the best get it wrong when nervous. Note it's a right hand guitar strung to a left hand player.Good morning everyone from another day of survival in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of electrical two way pull switches and a fist full of screwdrivers to the sound of Ennio Morricone came in a a rousing 5.2 eyes of blue this am
Granddaughter phoned yesterday due to printergate and inability to print out school work. Mrs Miggins to the rescue. School work printed and left in the airlock. All collected and conversations from the safety of two large hoola hoops. Thankfully it was not raining or that printing would have been all for nought.
Guitars. So many representations. My thoughts went to Andre Segovia and then Jango Reinhard. Then my dad’s old Martin and him jamming with the Critics Group in The Troubadour with Martin Carthy and Bob Dylan on his melodium in 1963. Then there is Pete Seeger and his sister Peggy who is still going strong and lives in Cambridge - or is it Oxford - must ask my mum. On and on but as a lad of the 60’s here is the wonderful Jimi Hendrix on an acoustic.
Have as good as day as you can - koffy
