We seem to have a garden full of different Hardy Geraniums, add lots of deep blues and purples this time of year. Lovely pic, get some paper and crayons and have ago, just get quick marks on paper not the detail, capture the essence.Well currently there are orange, salmon pink, magenta, bright red and fuchsia ones in flower in the Sun Room - going a bit stringy so time to take cuttings
Apologies not a very good snap.
The simple pleasures, we are doing the same, notice my mug, usually only drink coffee from cup but found this mug in cupboard, on the other side it says NO DEER and so just have to move it from left to right hand to answer Mrs MC.Coffee in the conservatory and the gentle sound of rain on glass, good morning world
So far no jobs done or coffee drunk. Have been trying to access supermarket special offers leaflet sent to my phone. Wanting to see if potting compost is mentioned. There are so many adverts it's impossible to read. Tried getting it on laptop. Had to recreate password to get into email. Then the item I want is simply not there. So ninety minutes wasted. Time for lunch.
They apparently are uncounted for...I wonder if they have been sold outside the UK wouldn't be surprised.
Good pastel again, like the depth and feeling of height you have given to the cliff, also the good bold colours, great art.Just made it before the very fine drizzle started...
It is so fine you can hardly feel it, but all the dried up leaves are springing back into life...
This is out of my head...took about an hour and a half...I was thinking of the Gower Peninsula, the secluded beaches from my younger days, I lived in Swansea at one point. A lot of walking and climbing to get to these beaches...some crazy times...

This might be the third in my series of three local English Vista Watercolours, not sure it captured the distance, might try this one again. It's a track I venture on weekly, the west edge of Cannock Chase looking across Staffordshire to the Wrekin in Shropshire. I feel it needs more space between foreground and the horizon, hmmm?
A4 Watercolour 90 minutes.

A really good day. A job I had been putting off since the lockdown was to set up remote working for my friend who does the bookkeeping for me. I had been putting it off because my friend has an ipad and I have never used one but I needed to sort it because end of year accounts are looming.
The Dummies site was absolutely brilliant - such clear step by step instructions. It truly was computing for dummies.
I did have a thought after reading your post. Could you perhaps write out the instructions for making facemasks (or print if you have a printer) and send them to her rather than make them for her as she is perfectly capable of sewing them herself. You are still being a good friend.Fbg 6.8
At 3.45 am
Temp 35.6
I have a friend who wants me to make some face masks.
Why can't she make them herself? She can sew.
Because she has always refused to have an internet or computer and has the most basic of mobiles, so she can't Google. And didn't listen to me in January when I said she needed to get face masks and disposable gloves. No that won't happen here, she said...
So the first job on my To do list today is look at You Tube and work out face masks...
My Done list when I look in later might be very short this morning. I might need to change the title to Frustration List...
