good evening all
4.3 today
Sunday lunch at mum's was chicken stuffed with black pudding and wrapped in bacon, very tasty. Chocolate LC sponge with custard (egg yolk, double cream and water sweetend with truvia) and some blueberries for afters
Poor mr gee is currently patching up his wounds, Katy went out into the garden for a mooch about and the usual things small dogs do, she didn't come back and we couldn't find her, panic ensued
we shouted and squeaked her favourite toy all round the garden, nothing, then mr gee found her in the bramble bush she was wound up in. She didn't bark for help but she was well stuck, mr gee mostly extricated her and I followed up with the scissors cutting the remaining brambles out of her wool. He's just bathing his scratches with TCP and adding sticking plaster, Katy, on the other hand, is scratch free and not fazed at all
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher - the project moves ona good idea for your art series, Covid corvid is strong and I like the idea of using the old cd's very inventive.
art bit - my take on a work by David Bellamy, I like the way he handles colour and distance

@Muddy Cyclist - very characterful portrait of Sooty dog, the eyes hold your gazeand an interesting plein air sketch, you've manage to capture the feel of the trees receding into the mist very well.
@lindisfel - hope things have improved for you

@Alien Aspie - I moved my system files over to a 500Gb SSD earlier this year

@ianpspurs - cinnamon, vanilla and mixed baking spice

Thank you. Eerie but wonderful, I enjoy walking through forests at night, no torch, just let the darkness wrap itself around you. I used to Bike ride at night but lights are needed now I enjoy walking in the darkness, my favourite walks is no moon and crisp frost.Those words fit that sketch of those trees beautifully @Muddy Cyclist
Trees do have an eerie quality in mist...

I have the same thing with Archie and Poppy. They have identical tug toys but will both tussle over the same tug toy. They do exactly the same with a chew.A peaceful Sunday yet I have a feeling cat war may break out soon...Lola does not do sharing & poor Charlie just has to wait...and wait...and wait...a new fluffy large cat bed has been ordered to break the deadlock wondering if either will use it.

I still have good night sight with no torch. But can't do the walking nowThank you. Eerie but wonderful, I enjoy walking through forests at night, no torch, just let the darkness wrap itself around you. I used to Bike ride at night but lights are needed now I enjoy walking in the darkness, my favourite walks is no moon and crisp frost.
No sign of it so far gennepher...they have a more gentler flashing fairy lights around the pillars on their porch...so fingers crossed...a very impressive nature barrier you've done in your bathroom...if the neighbour adds more I'll be sending Charlie & Lola over with some mini wire cutters.I hope it doesn't emerge @HarryBeau
By the way, my neighbour's flashing lights are barely 5 metres from my windows.
I've ordered them a new bed now wondering why...the cat cave pyramid one is still upstairs unused...but I remian hopeful they'll use this one it's big enough for two...watch this space.They do exactly the same with a chew
Ouch geefull for your O/H...honestly the trials they put us through.He's just bathing his scratches with TCP and adding sticking plaster, Katy, on the other hand, is scratch free and not fazed at all
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I like to stick to the so called rules of Chinese painting when it comes to trees and with sumi-e it can go a bit nuts. I will attempt some groupings that show different methods with both trees and leaves.Thanks for appreciation of Chimney Sweeps Brush I painted.
Two grand Trees from you, I truly admire your approach to trees, excellent.
Chicken stuffed with black pudding and wrapped in bacon - oh yes! Poor Mr G indeed - he needs a rest - perhaps a walk in that superb valley up to the mountains in your painting. Really like this one - great use of light and delicate application to the landscape.good evening all

Thank you. I look forward to the examples of trees. It's a big learning curve for me this Chinease painting, finding it fascinating.Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I like to stick to the so called rules of Chinese painting when it comes to trees and with sumi-e it can go a bit nuts.

I really like your pine trees fading into the fog - smashing
Hugs for the aftermath of mischievous pups. May I suggest empathy may be a better plan than rubbing salt in Julie's wounds, it will score you more points in the long run, who knows you might even get a better Christmas present, Santa is watching.Good morning all. Today's challenge for me is to resist saying "I told you so" to an ailing Julie. Why? The pups/dogs burst out of the shelter they have used from day one and chewed many things. The most precious was a boot of which I believe Julie was especially fond and had acquired at a bargain price. It will do no good but will be nigh on impossible not to say "now you know how I felt about the Timberland boat shoes your last bad decision ate." or "I said all along we shouldn't have dogs until this place was ready." Good job today was another 4.30 start before more damage was done. Fbg was 5.3 - very, very sub-optimal but could be any or all of three reasons: new sensor which was way off yesterday; widening food choices (still v low carb/sub keto level hence 4.30 wake up) or a cold/off colour somehow. Have a safe and useful day whilst I battle the urge to utter that phrase.
All the very best of luck with any boot baiting - with hospitals filling quickly my may need to bring in some home help.Good morning all.
