Why thank you kind Sir.
Wasn't that four halves?
Hopscotch, I still play it with my youngest grandaughter, moved on to Finger, Thumb or Humbug now much more exciting.
So Rating 1. Funny. 2 Hug, 3 Winner, 4 Winner
Thanks for taking the trouble to read, reread and reply to my post with a cricket reference @alf_Josiah. I make that at least four thank yous. In the best cases you either handle the googly well or work hard enough on your game to be selected again and play the next googly much better. I always enjoyed tea much more after I scored plenty or took wickets. Same meal but lost some (most?) of the taste . The beer from the jugs I bought for 50, 100 or 5 wickets always tasted best. Oh, Julie always made a trifle for each team as well.Morening again.
@ianpspurs, read your post twice, that's two times and then I read it out loud to Mrs J, between you and me and me's I had trouble with some of the long words, sometimes life bowls you a googly and all you can do it play it with determination, gritted teeth hoping for nice sandwiches and strong tea at tea time.
Life is full of humour and as written before every cloud has a silver lining, find it then nick it.
hugs for the low alf xGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who remember playing hopscotch when in their first childhood.
This going to be a posting of 3 halves. Me and me's will have to break off and make Mrs J's early morning tea.
2nd half
2 readings this morning 4.1 and a little later 4.8, whoops calculation time again, steam driven electric sliderule and teabag reading then a guess.
Third half
Me and me's had the Oxford covid jab yesterday administered in Reading, a bit of a relief because Mrs J didn't want to take me and me's to Oxford. A rather well organised procedure. The doctor and nurse explanned the possible side effects including a stiff arm when injected in said arm. Then me and me's thought about the surname of somebody in the queue waiting for the jab Todger, best say nothing, grateful about wearing a mask and leave the building quickly.
4th half
Well fellow posters, painters and gamers, play safe, stay warm, stay well and always look for the bright side of life.
Thank you @gennepherThank you for the art compliment @dunelm
Great dramatic landscape which draws me into the distant mountains....
Another lovely dawn piece - I’m sure that that old oak will enjoy the company of a few more treesFbg 6.9
I went out to put the wheelie just as dawn spread across the horizon....
Minus 5C out there.
Came back in sharpish.
So I did the dawn at the end of my road, added a few trees. The old solitary oak tree looks best/dramatic on its own with the rising sun behind it, so I am sure it won't mind a few trees for company in my digital painting today, but maybe this old solitary oak tree dreams at night when it was part of a forest...

Be careful with this Valentine’s Day stuff - lots of scams going onSeems as though it is a bright but bleakly *cold last hurrah? for winter 2020/21 everywhere. we can go without a costly hotel bill on reentry. My Swipey is bouncing about like Tigger on speed but I'll go 5.1 as a rough guestimate. Meanwhile the wilderness/bear hunt vibe is a thing but We can't go over it. We can't go under it. Oh no! We've got to go through it! Little voice whispers, as an antidote to the bleakness of Ecclesiastes, look for the love. Boom. @dunelm's humour amid grief, @gennepher's wonderful dawn artwork, the puppydogs sheer joy at seeing me each morning, yesterday's Valentine's day meal, the vaccination today and so much more. One way or another my journey will become much tougher so I'll need to lean heavily on the love of others. I will need the Grace of God so I need to do a better job of recognising and reflecting that love back. Thank you @lindisfel and @Muddy Cyclist for helping me understand the lesson - at least I think I do.
*Cold?
Thank you @Muddy CyclistMaking Oak Trees happy at the start of the day and art of the moment, lovely.
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I am expecting a few minutes on the naughty step and a slapped leg during this year’s review (which is really last years).Thank you for sunrise painting compliment.
Good news re Diabetes Review.
Another dramatic landscape you have given us today, wash worked really well. Your technique of making those solid mountains feel solid yet floating out of the mist or above the clouds is masterful, also like that touch of orange which lifts the whole scene.
Good drills with the gom jabbar - that sliderule probably needs replacement batteries.Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who remember playing hopscotch when in their first childhood.

The best you could do with a slide rule was to rub candle wax on the sliding thingy.Good drills with the gom jabbar - that sliderule probably needs replacement batteries.
Quiet today, hope all ok.
We have our shopping brought today so we have another washing session with the groceries.
Looks like the cold weather is going to end on sunday?
Have a good day
Derek
Snowballs came to mind.When we are moaning about minus 5 spare a thought for the male residents of Braemar wondering around in their kilts sporting a dearth of underwear with a temperature approaching a twenty year record of almost -22.0 c last night.

Congratulations.They breed like rabbits. New baby P arrives on Monday. Meanwhile facebook has an image of another one due in August here in Suffolk. Santa is soon going to require bitcoin. That's 7 and counting. Hope this doesn't become some kind of arms race to decide who is the most manly but boys will be boys. Sunday school obviously worked - at least the be fruitful and multiply stuck.
