Hope you warm up soon. It is horrible when you feel chilled to the bone.
A busy day for you. I dread the day of my Cataract removal, I know like Mr Gee many have the operation but I'm not the bravest of souls when it comes to anything to do with eyes.
I like you Swans and the one in action. As usual your distant hills are also very good.
Thank you for your comments on my Frost painting.
So pleased you finally warmed up. Am not surprised you got so cold - even though you were not out too long. I don't think I would have warmed up for hours if I had done a dog walk today. When we let the dogs into the garden they only stayed out for a few minutes. It was even too cold for them.Thanks @Krystyna23040
I finally warmed up half an hour ago. I was only in that horrid rain from car to shop and back again.
It would really have chilled you dog walking in it. (It was worth it for my stamps and the freebies he gave me!)
Thank you for reassurance I hope it will be a few years before I have it done.Cataract removals fine, Muddy.
I had the left done some time ago but need to get my right done because its my telescope eye.
I grew some cells on the window between the vitrous and aqueous humours after a few months so it fogged but lazer surgery to clear an 'aperture' on the 'window' was a doddle.

That's ineptitude, perhaps their overloaded or will be sending for someone else who has been vaccinated already.Worrying! A friend 82 Diabetic and pacemaker went for his Covid jab with his wife, obviously by appointment made by NHS. They refused to give him his jab as the computer says he's already had it. Of course he's not but now will need to wait until they sort it out and new appointment made, he's worried he will be forgotten. Gremlins in the system.
Can't win em all. My painting started well but the water got muddier and muddier and I don't think I will be able to pull it back. For our family Zoom meal Friday we have been given the subject of dragons to be creative about, I tried making an origami paper one but failed so I might see if I can make this failed painting into dragons....

Some things are not meant to be captured. However the mood and scariness can be felt in this digital art.Fbg 8.7
I did buy some nice goodies at the Post Office, yesterday, where I spent a lovely time with the Postmaster, who explained new prices abroad, showed me loads of new stamps (and I bought as much as I could!), and he gave me some freebies. and it worked out cheaper than actually ordering them online from Royal Mail!!! He is getting some new stuff in for me next week
So me setting off in that rain (in my car obviously), I hadn't realised the bad visibility until I went down the very steep hill. Normally even in bad weather I can see the industrial landscape down below, and it usually takes on magical properties in mists, rain, dawn, and with the twinkling night lights. But yesterday coming to the brow of the steep hill going down, I was faced with total blackness, a void of blackness. Where were the twinkling lights of night? It was scary for a second as I felt I was driving off a cliff into the bottomless abyss.
When I got back home, I tried to digitally create in Procreate that, and the feeling. I failed miserably.This is what I ended up creating...

Thanks for ideas on adding Dragons.Good morning everyone from a day of uncertain promise here in the dark and dangerous north. -15, what! Not on our street - we unsubstribed to that ages ago.
The wonder wheel of home made chicken and veg burgers came in at 5.5 this am - let’s never have those again.
Replacement boots now ready by boot makers Altberg - should arrive after the weekend - I now need an isolated hill within a 5 minute walk from the house - ideas on a postcard. Dutches of Cornwall has a reading room - get your book published sharpish.
@Muddy Cyclist - I think you could get a couple of good dragons in that picture - chameleon dragons or silhouettes. Sad gremlins and hope your friend gets sorted quickly. Probably needs chasing so it does not disappear down a hole. @gennepher - mesmerising, you may have found the light at the end of the tunnel that Boris is looking for. @lindisfel - these so called glitches are always worrying. Someone may have said “Oops!” - worrying lack of backup/recovery systems.
Art today - a pair of trees in the park mysteriously transported to China - Capability Brown still fiddling with the landscape rich folk. A4 yellow rice paper. Hope you all have a decent Friday - I am going to tuck it onto the weekend, pont Monday and imagine that we are riding on the Shimla railway - choo choo! Time for koffy.

Thanks @Muddy Cyclist - weekends in the middle of the week - always a good idea, outings are less crowded and you get more bangs for your bucks.Thanks for ideas on adding Dragons.
Another great landscape Capability Brown comes nowhere near your design talents, another good wash also.
As for tucking the weekend onto Friday, when I was working I used to put the weekends into the middle of the week, that way I only had to work a few days before getting two days off.
