Yes you are right that our pets are a very important part of our families and very much missed when they pass away.@muddy cyclist very sorry to hear about Moet. And you too @Krystyna23040 on Archie.
Pets become part of family and daily life very quickly; we still miss our big grey tabby Marley who had to be put down due to throat cancer - and that was 10 years ago.
Virtual treats for them both from Arthur who's now back from vets...hopefully the vet survived!
It doesn't look all that abstract to me, Muddy!The reason I am not an abstract artist.This is a 2ft square canvas for the first of my Abstract stormy Sea and Sky Paintings, a complete mess. I will over paint it but I have run out of artistic enthusiasm so it will have to do as today's art.

A long John silver day,
( quite appropriate considering the leg appointment )
Pieces of 8 indeed, me hearties.
8.1 fbg to give it it's full name of sugary Shame.
Nice dinner, maybe a potato too many ?, the late night snifter, that became one of two. (ok, more then two..)
Late to bed, up early...
ho hum. Who really knows
( Kicks ground, hand in pockets)
X-ray day, ..no record of appointment...
No WiFi.
Back outside to get signal, to fetch & screenshot appointment, like I should have BEFORE I get there...
to show reception ..
Lady comes out all apologetic...bless.
Found me on system
Made me late for appointment, though
Can't be early anymore, covid, so timings more critical.
Did get seen, reasonably quickly
I struggle a little shoes/ socks off/ on.
Just my luck to get ready in one room, to find machine no good, so shoes back on to go to another room
Have to stand on plinth to x-ray ankles, today it was also up on two foam blocks .
Left me too high from hand rail to balance without clinging most ungracefully to back of plinth backboard, ala Norman wisdom.
All small whines on the day.
Been quite impressed with how normal the service seemed to be.
sure you got to time your run, wash hands, wear a mask, fewer in the A&E, etc.
But NHS have been great for me, thank you SO much you wonderful people. XXXX
And while radiologist can't say for definite,
When I mentioned the docs worried about ankle bones separating, due to fracture repair failing, she indicated all looked well and all bones in correct alignment ..
Let's hope Wednesday's meet with doc confirms that happy prognosis
Off to have a jolly little day today
Hope you all can do similar
Thank you @geefull for the tree compliment.good evening all
4.9 today
I wish I could believe it was a touch of dp caused by eating no supper
A lovely day today bright, mild and breezy instead of positively brisk and windy. Mr gee and I got in a walk and a bit of garden work so that's all to the good
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - striking tree silhouette with great depth of field, nicely balanced
@dunelm - Very accomplished 'quick' sketch and I also enjoy your 'messy' art, (mine are usually just messy)
@Muddy Cyclist and @Krystyna23040 hugs for both, Moet and Archie are both lucky members of caring families, those decisions are so hard but are literally the last act of love we can perform for them. Hope it's a long, comfortable time away for both.
@jjraak - good stuff, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good confirmation from your doc
@lindisfel - it's just a lonely remnant of an old hedge but I think 'laying' hedges is a bit of a dying art
though they are thankfully planting new ones on a couple of farms around here just nowLovely crocuses
@Muddy Cyclist - Nice to see daffodilsours are nowhere near as far on as that although we do have a few of the dwarf irises coming into flower just today
Perhaps today's art is a study for the series then?I do like the near shore and reflections very much
art bit -
when the snow started melting there was a whopping pool right across the field boundary which melted and refroze overnight, like a sheep skating rink

Great photos, you live in a beautiful area.Took the diesel out today and filled up, first time for ages.
Went to have a look see if Overwater and Skiddaw were still there and snapped off a few pics.
No police guarding the back roads to the fells and ok to have a walk along the hill by the lake. Just Buzzards, Kestrel,View attachment 47623 Tufties Goldeye and Teal in area.

Came back on Castle Inn/Ireby road and plenty of walkers parked up walking up Binsey from the watershed so they had an easy walk to the top with good views over the Solway Plain for a 1500 ft hill.

Your best work so far, don't be so hard on yourselfThe reason I am not an abstract artist.This is a 2ft square canvas for the first of my Abstract stormy Sea and Sky Paintings, a complete mess. I will over paint it but I have run out of artistic enthusiasm so it will have to do as today's art.

Forgot FBG three mornings in a row.
Today was rush to get the car to garage for some essential work, yesterday quick coffee and off to the shops, 8am and raining, very few others about.
MrSlim has been feeling somewhat better for a couple of days. We both thought this extended episide was ending. However today he is in some pain and looks awful, Worryingly he is off his food and actually went to bed early.
I really think he should at least talk to a doctor, but he is still insisting they cannot help him.
There has been some lovely artwork over the last few days. @dunelm love the heron?storm?
@gennepher cats do make excellent hot water bottles. Their natural body temperature is slighltly higher than ours, which explains it. Errant is more than welcome on my lap when I am feeling cold.
I am going to say it again @Muddy CyclistYour best work so far, don't be so hard on yourself
Looks fine to me - well captured, packed with interestThe reason I am not an abstract artist.This is a 2ft square canvas for the first of my Abstract stormy Sea and Sky Paintings, a complete mess. I will over paint it but I have run out of artistic enthusiasm so it will have to do as today's art.

Well done Popeye - smashing it in the digital world - wonderful reflections.Fbg 6.1
His Lordship has finally truly forgiven me for sleeping on my side the other night so he was unable to sleep under my chin.
So last night, was the entire night with a happy cat under my chin...
This digital painting he contributed to this morning...
It was inspired by oak trees, the dawn, and then the blinding white sun in the perfect blue sky yesterday.
Popeye was rejuvenated by the sun, just as we humans are. So much so, that despite being an elderly nearly 29 year old cat, he took a leap from his standing poised position on the floor, not just to on the bottom of the couch, but up and horizontal to the floor the whole length of the couch and landed on my chest. His eyes were wide in astonishment as he was doing it, and me with my arms wide open to grab him if he fell...
He looked proud of himself...
Now I need a nap...back later...

Thank you, I will look later but still not sure I will like it.I love this @Muddy Cyclist
Absolutely nothing wrong with it...
Don't you dare paint it over...
It is NOT a mess
Just look at it tomorrow and see how you feel...
Then I must try harder.It doesn't look all that abstract to me, Muddy!
