Thanks Dunhelm, these ironstone holes are very deep.Lots of mining went on round this part of the world - iron and allum - Part of the hill broke away in 1912.
Good morning everyone from an Evelyn Glennie bouncing wet start to the day in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of heavy with the chicken and not so much of that lettuce came in at 4.6 this am.
Excellent start with colour and craggy on Hen Cloud and a great reminder to Roaches and wha’t wonderful on our own doorstep - I need to go - but it’s raining. Mrs MC - now there is a benchmark - Aubrey or is it Audrey Beardsley - thankfully not a dancers reward!
@lindisfel - I do like the art of First Nation, I seem to enjoy a great deal of human production and endeavor that is called art - not messy tents though or pairs of spectacles left in the corner of an exhibition, but would not wish to emulate it.
Sir Ken Robinson died - you may not have heard of him but for me he spoke a lot of sense on the subject of what we strangely thing of as education. I think one of his TED talks are the most viewed of all those talks - might be worth 15 minutes of your time having a gander at one.
In 1967, Joe Brown climbed the Old Man of Hoy, in monochrome, and on the telly. I was hooked and joined a climbing club. Since then, many people have climbed it, in colour but not necessarily on the telly. Fast forward to 1973 and I sailed into Scapa Flow, passing ghostly masts from WW1, on a Royal Navy assault ship to take part in beach landings and attack all the birds and insects on the island of Hoy - it was raining but who cares when you are up to your armpits in sea water. Permission previously gained and me and a pal managed the climb.
Have the most wonderful day that you can manage - don’t give up on it, I shall celebrate the rain with another koffy.

It’s a wonderful portrait @gennepher, sad though it is. I get a feeling of being trapped, the eyes seem to stare into the distance. Some of the colours look very old - 19thC.Okay. My painting contribution for today.
It was started in iPainter on my little Android phone, yesterday afternoon in the potting shed where I was with the cat, then I lost the plot and made a mess of it, but fortunately I am in the habit of saving regularly.
So, the earlier version was transferred this morning to my iPad and Procreate.
Because my flow of painting was interrupted, in that I had to give up yesterday afternoon, my mood is different this morning, so it changed direction a bit.
Here is my final version...

Sadly just flat old emulsion and gloss. My days of scenery painting are now over.And what kind of house painting are you going to be doing?
How Chris Bonnington got up the Old Man when he was 80 is amazing, even if he went up behind a younger climber?Good morning everyone from an Evelyn Glennie bouncing wet start to the day in the dark and dangerous north

That's a very dramatic and well produced piece of art, something tragic and yet peaceful about the image, impressive.Okay. My painting contribution for today.

Our health centre has been doing blood tests...as for the flu jab I now go to a local chemist have it done y the pharmacist so much easier for us.however they are still not doing these tests,
Very Animal Farm in 2020 UK. All lives, people, GP practices, exam grades and businesses are equal. Some are more equal than others. I won't comment on having a pig in charge - cheap shotRang my Health Centre, largest in the area, regarding HbA1c test which was not done in March, I was told to give them a call in August, however they are still not doing these tests, odd as my wife's Health Centre, she uses a different one, is doing blood tests. Also asked about Flu Jab again no dates, apparently they will be in touch, don't hold your breath, Mrs MC already does have a date for the Jab, what's going on?
Hmm, I think I will be sending an email to the centres manager, polite, understanding but wanting answers.Our health centre has been doing blood tests...as for the flu jab I now go to a local chemist have it done y the pharmacist so much easier for us.
