A fine portrait of Richard Bird although he seems a bit ruffled.
A fine portrait of Richard Bird although he seems a bit ruffled.Good morning everyone from a powder coated morning in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of chicken salad came in at 5.0 this am
Trees, trees, wonderful trees. Thank you @Muddy Cyclist and @geefull.
@lindisfel - ouch!, for the blood draw. For the bewildered, ‘seax’ is a word for ‘knife’ and pronounced ‘sax’ - it’s the root word for ‘saxon’.
Success yesterday at my very late 2020 annual diabetes review - results next week.
Art for today - a wee dickie bird on rice paper about A4. Hope that everyone has a wonderful Friday. I am drinking koffy.

Sadly not, I have two friends who dance, both play in our folk group. They dance with 'The Ironmen' and we always go and watch them dance on NewYears day on The Ironbridge, sadly not this year.question for our very talented @Muddy Cyclist have you ever had an attempt at the serious art of morris dancing?
Thank you for the hug especially as it was through thought and not a reflex whatevs action. No hug needed for me @alf_Josiah since in many ways this week (ish) will be optimal. Loads of sport on TV, stocks of mackerel, avocado, salad, tea, keto ready meals etc, etc all organised. Weather forecast suggests I'll be able to trot around the Slabbingtons 14 hrs a day and my exercise bike is open all hours. I have a son and his family 5 minutes walk away. Why, I even get to load the dishwasher as I see fit and mix and match things in the washing machine without the world ending.Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are decisive about what colour socks to wear on these chilly days.
A 5.3 on that meter of mystery and whatever this Friday morning.
@ianpspurs I gave you a hug on your posting, perhaps I miss read it, but good luck with the new arrival and with fending for yourself.
I also feel a special mention is in order for @karen8967 whose posts and pictures always bring a smile, today's is a classic.
Well fellow posters, painters and gamers here today is a day of wonder, I wonder what mischief I can cause, third childhood is great, every moment precious and not to wasted on the mundane.

Now koffy is calling, pressure on the bladder building I just hope I don't get things mixed up hehehehe.
Stay safe, stay well, stay at home and lastly stay warm......must now dash.

Humbled by your 'very talented' description of me, sadly I'm more a Jack of all trades and master of non.
Morris Dancing, next time around, left it to late in this life time, knees not up to it.
Edit @alf_Josiah
The Ironmen

This site is having a lack of notifications for me at the mo too...perhaps it froze with the cold....a day of glitch?
no notifications that anyone had posted on here for me.
all notifications were for yesterday
no snow, cold but sunny day here in the Capital, Derek
Wow, I love this @Muddy CyclistToday's offering of art from me... asked on some Silver Birch trees we passed yesterday, they looked scruffy in a thicket by the canal...
A4 watercolour about 1 hour.... (not quite this blue purple in the original, iPad camera in blue period.)

Thank you. Sure is exciting and anxious. Will I cause myself harm by filling the dishwasher wrongly or ruin all my clothes by failing to observe the correct protocols? Oh wait. Every time Julie is ill none of that seems to have happened and I survived on my own from leaving home for Uni until I married at almost 30. As you were.@ianpspurs An exciting, anxiously and magical weekend in your family, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Thanks @jjraak and for thinking of me with subtitles, I appreciate it...just what I was thinking.
and well worth a listen.
and a less well known one...
For @gennepher
couldn't find matching song AND subtitles
where is the love.
it's part filipino i believe

Glad Mr G got his jab safelygood evening all
4.4 today
Sheesh it was cold last night, not Braemar cold but we managed -14'C a mile outside the village and -10'C outside our back window.
Glad your jab went well @ianpspurs , mr gee had his first shot today too (Oxford/Astrazeneca) and it was a pretty slick operation at the local health centre.
They'd originally asked everyone to go in by the rear door but when we got there they had reverted to the main door as the paths were freezing in the shadow of the building (even with salt down) and because most of the group attending for injection are elderly they wanted to be able to observe everyone getting in and out safely
was quite a nice morning for the drive to town

We did some more snow shifting when we got back and then muffled up and had a walk.
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - corvidsI'm glad you managed to get your diabetic review in
That's a fantastic rocky landscape and I love the weight and solidity of those cliffs above the mist
@gennepher - lovely dawn picture with those trees silhouetted against the light, very effective
@Muddy Cyclist - Great, colourful treatment of those silver birches, I like it very much
art bit - trying out pen and watercolour again, working on improving my trees, they have a lot to live up to on this thread
once again inspired by a work by Kathleen Caddick

Sadly it looks like you are absolutely rightit's as if Brian Rix & Yes Minister, had a very drunken threesome with frank spencer, and they kept the Love child
and just cloned it to fill an entire Government.
Yes, I definately see my, Gene, in the mirror!5.1 for meView attachment 47400
Is it in transit?Ordered Psyllium husk earlier. The brand I have been getting is no longer available. I wonder if it is because it is from the EU.
You are right - it must be still in transit. What is really annoying is that faster transit was guaranteed.Is it in transit?
It may stool be okayYou are right - it must be still in transit. What is really annoying is that faster transit was guaranteed.
