I hope all goes well with that testing @dunelm and everything surrounding it.I have just massaged my tonsils and the inside of my nostrils with a long handled cotton wool bud and stuck the thing into a tube, several layers of packing and placed in the front porch ready for collection. I don’t know which part of the procedure is my favourite, testing the gag reflex or the eye watering nasal rub. Still, another novel experience in lockdown loony land.
Did you read the BBC report entitled the unseen harm done by Covid-19? One of the items mentioned is the massive reduction in vaccination programmes which is now likely to lead to the return of polio. Its a terribly sad story.
The idea that there may be many more deaths indirectly caused by Covid-19, than people dying from the virus is shocking.
Lots to do here AA if you're able & willing
Most welcome @gennepherThank you @jjraak
I'm an endangered species and currently under lock and key until 2050, otherwise, I'd be there in a flash with my Jiffy (or be there in a jiffy with my Flash)
Another distraction measure to take the focus on the lack of real protective measures that were needed way back in March.And rare i agree with walsh or O'leary, but MG, they make a good point.
Most welcome @gennepher
it maybe possible, but the i couldn't see how you might get the subtitles up for the video.
I might see if I can get it in ebook from what used to be my local library.The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths - the first book in the Dr Ruth Galloway mysteries. She is a forensic archaeologist based in Norfolk.
The series was recommended to me and I am really enjoying the first book.
For once we really are world leading (joint with Mexico ) in how badly people think govt handling Covid

Edit to explain
The UK government now has the joint-lowest approval rating worldwide for its management of coronavirus, according to YouGov polling.
Only 41% of Britons say the government is managing the outbreak well, versus 56% who say it is mishandling it. This gives a net score of -15, down from -6 the week previously, and on a par with Mexico.
Do let me know what you think of it - if you are able to get an ebook from the library.I might see if I can get it in ebook from what used to be my local library.
Like both of these and agree the foreground detail in the second is good. Both have worked very well.good evening all
was 4.6 this morning.
it's really a nice day today here, a bit of a chilly breeze off the sea but very pleasant in the sunshine
We had a walk around the village after lunch and then decided to do a bit in the garden.
Did some sea buckthorn chopping and then followed up with some strimming so the next thing will be making buttery scrambled eggs and bacon for teaand then ... probably a long hot shower to get the random bits of green out of my hair
Hope your day is treating you well
Art catch up
no 1 - emulating John Horsewell, he uses very strong but fairly limited colour in acrylic and goes for very dramatic skies in landscape. Not really possible to get the same texture in watercolour but it's an interesting exercise for me just the same

no 2 - a cooler view, in what seems to be my own default styleI'm quite pleased with how the rocky foreground area turned out.

Quite menagerie you have let loose today,My soft pastel for today.
I worked from a photograph (not mine) I had.
I think I have come to realise, I cannot do defined clouds in sunsets or sunrises, without making them look like something. It is not intentional. Now that I have taken a photo of this pastel, I can now see on the top of the pastel an elongated whale. To the left under it I can see a mouse's head. To the right I can see a flying dinosaur.
When my mother was looking after me when I was a child, I was often ill, but she went out to work. And so I was locked in my bedroom (chamber pot was under the bed in case you were wondering). If she hadn't locked me in then I would have legged it.
So, to keep myself occupied I cloud watched all day. I watched animals, complete zoos, the seaside and children playing with buckets and spades making sandcastles, and much more. You name it, and I saw it in those clouds.
I still do cloud watch, but I am more likely now to see fantasy worlds, castles in the sky, the Greek gods, scenes played out....

I found that link you posted @ianpspurs ,Nice post.
I knew it was poor, but this eye Openly BAD
think the only bone of contention is WHAT the **** where the 41% thinking.
Can't think of many ways this COULD be worse.
though i do expect the next poll to be even worse.
cheers for link and post
It seems you had a good day @geefullArt catch up
