Good oh! All in the right direction
Good oh! All in the right direction6.8 today so quite an improvement on yesterday
I just have to remind myself that this is not a human.I hadn't realised just how stressed I was getting until he 'went'. Vet rang and said that psyllium husks were fine to give him if he is delayed again. We have an appointment to see her on Monday so she can check his foot.
He has just decided that he wants to take the bandage off so we will have to watch him closely over the next couple of days. Every time I tell him to leave it alone he grins at me then waits until I leave the room before having another go at it.
Your post did make me feel better, In the end I just flew through the pile of paperwork on my desk and now feel ready for teaching my Zoom classes. It is a lovely feeling with all the work done.It helped that Lodger went to work today (I didn't see him at all ystd so no idea if he chucked a sicky or just had a day off) but it also meant I could go bleach the downstairs toilet as well!
If it makes you feel any better I indulged in another mission of Command and Conquer and then remembered how irritatingly hard some of them could be so after a bit of earthy anglo saxon and a few re-do's I managed to get it.. so now I feel I need to be productive to make up from this morning's gaming!
That is funny, as sometimes Mr K asks me if I am talking about Archie or him when I talk about Archie's escapades to my friends.I just have to remind myself that this is not a human.
Not me...a cyclist I think....Thank you @gennepher - who started all this splatter stuff?
A brilliant strategy @gennepher and good that you have fun with it and it lifts your mood, especially when the medical profession shouting at you would definitely drag your mood down.
Luminous glow. I absolutely love larch trees @Muddy CyclistPainting for today, started yesterday and left to dry overnight, included phase 1 and finished scene.
Cannock Chase Larch trees have been beautiful this Autumn. I am always fascinated by their light, it's as though the light is generated by the Larch tree itself. In some of the valleys they glow against the background of Douglas Firs, sadly Larch and Douglas Firs are suffering from disease and may vanish from our forests. I know in Afan Valley where I do a lot of more serious Mountain Biking they have removed most of the Larch a great shame although the views have now opened up.
So here it is, A4 abstract style watercolour about 90 minutes....

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - drop on the pattern is a bit like time - a variable influenced by the observer as well as circumstances. Just popped into my head - if you were carrying the roll of wallpaper on a train and walking from the rear to the front - would the drop differ from if you were walking from the front to the rear - asking for a bloke standing on the station, observing.A nice fishing scene with lots of detail and good depth. Then are you getting into wallpaper design? If so can I order 4rolls please and what is the drop on that pattern?
Never!!!!Not me...a cyclist I think....
I'll settle for the standard 18" then.Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - drop on the pattern is a bit like time - a variable influenced by the observer as well as circumstances.

Nice luminous nose - does it belong to the Dong?Painting for today, started yesterday and left to dry overnight, included phase 1 and finished scene.

Looks good to me, I like the way you have underlit the leaves, maybe add a bit of splatter.My painting for today. But not happy with it. Started it in ZenBrush3, and moved it over to Procreate
I think I lost something in the overdoing of it. Yes I saved it at different stages, but I wasn't satisfied when I looked back at an earlier version of it. So I stopped. I prefer painting in the very early hours of the morning...it works well as a meditation then to set my day, I don't want to meditate in the late afternoon/evening....
When I had my nap earlier my brain was drawing pictures in my mind...black and white intricate line drawing. I wouldn't be able to hold a pen to do that now, and it would give me a visual migraine. But I was enjoying watching them in my mind. Then Popeye decided he wanted to go in the potting shed, and so woke me up with his whiskers. So, I put harness and lead on him, but before we got to the potting shed, the heavens opened, and he turned and high tailed it back to the bungalow...

Still came out OK I think - the detail of the green leaves picked out by that moonshine - nice.My painting for today. But not happy with it. Started it in ZenBrush3, and moved it over to Procreate

Thankyou, Probably the red wine I was drinking last night, damb I didn't think it was that obvious. Now the inspiration for the background was the luminous nose of the Dong.Nice luminous nose - does it belong to the Dong?
Good row of larch trees - I like the authentic colours of the trees set against all those shades of blue. Trific.
These people only fool themselves when they lie and cover up the truth. We all know what they are doing so why do politicians pretend otherwise.I find myself predisposed to feel a certain sympathy for the views exressed here. It doesn't help that PP is such a smug, unlikable thing. She blatantly exploits the minority and gender cards and makes us all aware she knows we know what she is doing.
