That's a very well painted beach scape. Those cliffs are so well depicted as is the light reflecting on the sea, love it.good evening all
4.1 this morning
been making another batch of jam for mum today before her visitors get here, it's blackcurrant and strawberrysmells good but very sweet Only a couple of jars of each flavour because mum is the only one of us who usually eats it. mr gee will eat a bit occasionally on a scone but that's about the limit of it.
Was talking to someone I know from the village and when I said we had GP's in our practice I wasn't quite sure, but, apparently the process in our practice is that there are no face to face appts. initially. You call the health centre and they take some notes and then add you to a list which the doctor's work through by telephone. You get a telephone consult when they phone you and if they feel you absolutely need to be seen face to face they will give you a time to attend, you phone on arrival and they come and give you an anti covid quiz then let you in to see the doctor. She said that there are now only 4 chairs in the huge waiting roomsounds fairly practical
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@dunelm - that really is a lovely landscape in the trad. style, very detailed
@gennepher - that's a fun picture today, mum has a very old apple tree quite near her kitchen door, doesn't produce many apples now so at least there aren't many wasps
@JohnEGreen - that's a lovely looking scene
@Muddy Cyclist - that was a nice beginning with a lovely sky and the finished picture doesn't disappointLovely misty distance and skyline.

done from a photo , somewhere near Filey I think from memory

Hmmm, I gave you a funny but perhaps it should be optimistic as a few on here were probably teenagers and early twenty year olds through those wonderful 1960's.We have all led too sheltered lives, Ian!

A winner for the joyous moment as lead part in a comedy sketch and hopefully nothing damaged beyond repair. 14.0 -ouch - difficult to cope with side effects of steroids.6.4 from me today, finally finished the paving although I now have a bruise covering most of my hand after mistaking said appendage for a piece of wood and hitting it with a lump hammer. It was a truly joyous moment of praise and exultations, dockside words from such an innocent mouth
The steroids have been seriously messing my bloods up, at one point I hit 14.0 and spent 6 hours trying to bring it down.
So, no art from me and here's hoping you enjoy your day

Good morning everyone from a morning of cloud filled hope of a decent day in the dark and dangerous northA
The wonder wheel of a simple home made korma with zero rice came in at 4.6 this am
We still have wasps hanging about the fig tree which is adjacent to one of the patio doors. The figs are turning sweet. Not all that tasty to us. The plant will be getting a severe knobbling in a few weeks time.
A couple of biking friends are up here for a few days so together with another local biking friend, we are meeting up and off over the moors the Whitby of chish and fips - battered or otherwise.
Have a wonderful pre-bin day, just a quick(ish) sketch today. Koffy on the go and then check the tyres on my bike.

Ouch for that 14, but sorry I had a slight chuckle for the battered appendix, I can see the whole episode unfurling before my eyes. However I truly hope the damage is not serious and nobody was in hearing distance.6.4 from me today, finally finished the paving although I now have a bruise covering most of my hand after mistaking said appendage for a piece of wood and hitting it with a lump hammer.

A good one, I like this digital drawing and that gold is spot on for dappled light, brilliant.Fbg 6.1
My daily painting challenge was to use the Procreate quick sketch I did a couple of days ago. And to create a gentle misty ethereal scene.
Did that happen? No. Because between the layers I put an all black layer, and used the rubber tool on the painting above. I am having fun...
So, instead here is a more dramatic painting...

Never had so many bites and still have the marks 6 weeks later they itched for weeksWould they be the swines we call Clegs in Cumbria? People have died from Cleg bites!
D.
That sounds like it was really painful. Hope the pain levels have gone down today.although I now have a bruise covering most of my hand after mistaking said appendage for a piece of wood and hitting it with a lump hammer.
