good evening all
4.3 yesterday and 4.2 today
We were away most of the day yesterday on 'car' businessand up early today for the weekly shop. Quite a few people out early shopping this morning but we managed to get most everything so that's a winner.
Driving back into the village we saw that some bright spark/s had chucked empty cans along the grass verge one every few yards all the way to the top of the hillnot a problem we have often but one we occasionally do get when there are visitors about in the Summer (also many abandoned single shoes for some reason ).
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - rabbits, rabbits - that's my families version of the good luck greeting for the first of the month, my siblings and I follow our mum's lead by textI'm liking the mountain perspective in your zen sketch
@Muddy Cyclist - Litter! Yuck! my sympathies for all who are finding their usually quiet areas rubbish strewnbut I'm glad Moet's vet visit went well
A splendid tree in your second painting, it glows and stands strongly as the focus of the painting, the third stile painting is lovely, I spent quite a lot of time in Derbyshire in my 'youth' and the whole area of Yorkshire/Derbyshire holds so many joyfull memoriesthose walls and the little (railway?) arch feel just so familiar to me
art catch up for today - quite small just a bit bigger than A6

A strange day with some nice moments. Visit to MILs bungalow meant we also popped in to catch up with a cousin in their garden. They know someone looking for a bungalow as his wife can't get upstairs and so Thursday we are back to meet them and see if he is interested in buying. All seems strange as MIL is still alive and kicking in the nursing home, but it needs to be sold before winter, all feels very complicated but Mrs MC does have power of attorney so can be done and money will go into MILs account, an end to another chapter. Of course lots of learning, legality of selling, solicitor or no solicitor, deeds, landregister and all that goes with how payment made, life seems to have just got a bit more complicated.
So painting not much today, quickly knocked together some ideas for Friday Family Challenge which is 'Beetles'. I have done nothing original just drawn and painted some images, quite pleased with my Beetle though. I am also learning the song Yesterday to play and sing, never done it before in all the years of performing, not easy.

@gennepher our Zen expert, keep up the experimenting, good for keeping young. As the song says, 'Stay young keep your wheels in motion" or for the rockers amongst you, 'Stay young with your Rock n Rolling, for the best things in life are free', great song, love performing it.
Thank you, non of the beetles are from my own imagination, all been done before. Interesting trying to emulate that metallic shine beetles have. I may try an abstract useing the metallic feel if I get time.A good day, a new chapter now. It would feel a bit strange selling MIL's house.
Interesting selection of beetles! I like your green/blue Beetle!
Good Morning and 5,7 on this bright but cloudy morning.
Off to MILs bungalow again tidayto meet potential buyer, it's not on the market but it I still getting more and more difficult to keep on top of maintenance so perhaps for the best. Emotional days ahead for Mrs MC and lots of hard work clearing it out if the people are interested.
Changing and challenging times in many ways, I hope we can all find appropriate and pleasant paths through them. Stay safe.
I'm waiting for shopping AA tired might do exactly the same as you back to bed after...hope you can have a more restful day.Once Tesco have been I will go back to sleep
Very Salvador Dalí, must look at this app. Thankyou for your kind best wishes for MIL situation and comment on my art, as I said though regrettably non of the Beetle images were my own original ideas.Good morning everyone from a bit of a damp squib in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel cranked over during the night, powered this time by a thai green curry on, for me, a big splodge of celeriac mash resulting in a 4.8 this am, mainly thanks to stevia balancing the oooh-maamiz.
Wonderful tree lined path @geefull and yes, what is it about single shoes?
Impressed with the metallic carapace @Muddy Cyclist and you really captured the features of the fab four. Big hug for Mrs MC - trying times.
@Alien Aspie - hope you have a better day.
I keep dipping into this Zen app, I think that my mother will be downloading it also. She did mention that it would save all that work grinding ink each morning. Oh well!.
Have the very best day that you can have. I am going for koffy.
