I did @gennepher.Sounds as though you had a good day @jjraak
Our local gym/ice rink/sports centre got made into a rainbow hospital which never got used, so no sports centre here any more.
Take care
Have a good day.
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist I do appreciate your encouragementSure looks the Bees Knees to me. Some very good drawing and pleanty of depth, you certainly have the touch.
Thank you @geeful. I did like the green but need to play with the tone of it. Loving your sea watercolours - this one reminds me of a place called Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast and the path leading down to the lifeboat houses.good afternoon all
4.8 today
It's a soggy day here today but at least it's not cold, spent the morning topping and tailing gooseberries, listening to an audio book and watching the visitors from the caravan site wandering about in their waterproofs in the rain. It's a shame as you said @lindisfel when we had so many good days of weather during the strict lockdown.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@ianpspurs - hugs for the 'homesickness' it can bite you when you least expect it
@dunelm - I like the touch of green it adds a new dimension
@gennepher - your picture works well and I like the bird, sorry for your struggle, it can be difficult to get back into something when your flow has been interrupted
@Muddy Cyclist - I love your pencil lanscape, such a grand vista, what type of pencils do you use? Interested to see what your sketches work up like
art bit - tried doing a sketch in mum's garden yesterday with some 'watercolour' pencils I found I had, don't know how long they had been sitting in the cupboard, a couple of years at least. they will not live in the cupboard any longer, they will go! the pigment was so hard I scratched the paper surface trying to get some colour onto the paper
today's offering -
watercolour approx A5

Ha, haaaa! Welcome to the scratch and daub club - such fun. Great contrast.There I was being bored for a change and I thought "maybe I should have a crack at this art stuff".
So I downloaded Zen Brush 2 and here's me first go at a couple of sticks

Edit - there was a panda but he got fed up and walked off
Excellent - love the way you do your trees. Super woodland scenes.So here are the two A5 paintings based on the sketches, not sure about them although they looked OK in the gold frames I had spare, may do something different for these frames, I will live with them a bit see if they grow on me.

After a few months being rather lazy,
My fitness tracker finally gets put through its paces.
Not a bad start back, and it felt good, that it felt GOOD.

Barbers masked up.
Felt safe ,
And now feel more like ..err me.
Pray for me...

Nightingale/Rainbow... a PR stunt...we can do what China did in a quick turnaround in adapting premises. But it was a costly exercise. And in my area has deprived children and adults of a whole swathe of sports facilities (there was tons more stuff going on there), which is going to have a knock on effect (especially for teenagers) for a long time to come.I did @gennepher.
A jaunt around my area on Pablo, to
& from gym.
Trip to barbers,
Visit to daughter, to fix stuff,
Then an aimless mooch around town
Set me up nicely for a bath, dinner and a quiet night in front of tv.
All in, a rather pleasant day all round.
Thank you.
Not too sure what to make of the rainbow/nightingale.
PR Stunt or just Ill thought out ?
I like to think glad we didn't need them,
But if I'm honest I think the medics decided they weren't safe or a sensible use of limited resources..
Have a good day, Genn.
Love to Popeye.
Magical, these little humans do bring so much enjoyment but it ain't half nice to collapse in a pile for a few moments before the next round of chaos.The ninky nonks have departed - what a manic yet wonderful few days
Thrown! That's a very pleasing layout along the lines of famous landscapers from the past, Were you also an apprentice to Capability Brown?I'd thrown some slabs down on a tatty gravel patch

good morning everyone from a very quiet and sunny start to the day in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of chunks of cod swimming in butter and herbs roared abroad and gently whispered 4.9 this am
The ninky nonks have departed - what a manic yet wonderful few days - I needed to inspect the sofa for an hour after they left and then got on with returning the house to it’s default settings; five lots of laundry, toys back in boxes, furniture from dolls house, recently used as latest ‘catch’ and stuffed into fishing nets - now returned to start positions for next invasion, two old silver cross dolls prams and associated paraphernalia sorted out. Why is it that Jammy Dodgers are the absolute pinnacle of gastronomic excitement and anticipation when you are three or even five years old?
Hope everyone is well - no idea what day it is but it will soon be bin day. Meanwhile, koffy.

Absolutely amazing @Alien Aspie"Grey skies, frowning on me nothing but grey skies do I see"
5.8 this morning so all's good.
Hoping the rain holds off as I'd thrown some slabs down on a tatty gravel patch. I need to chalk them up so I remember where they go before lifting them to get the ground ready.
Enjoy the day

@jjraak that looks a mighty fine gym you visit, a much more civilised way to get your exercise than my muddy workouts, seems you had a very good day, well done.
