I do like the effect you have achieved like looking through a stained glass window or. frosty window, very effective.
I do like the effect you have achieved like looking through a stained glass window or. frosty window, very effective.That cat woke me at 2:30 and wouldn't take no for an answer. So I was cleaning cats dishes and giving him fresh wet food.
So Fbg when I remembered it at 3am was 6.7
I am wide awake by now, so go outside and look at this Snow moon. You don't need a torch outside, everything is brightly lit up. So, I did a digital painting of it, but it was just a painting, it didn't portray anything special about that moon.
So, I decided to write some postcards instead. Finished them, and go to get my car keys, to go and post them...
No car keys. They have disappeared. Searched everywhere. I recall putting them down on the table when I came in a few days ago, because I had something in my other hand, and I needed to deal with that first.
I gave up looking, and got my spare car key and spare door key. Went out, car was frozen up. Got that cleared and started. Looked at the Snow moon again. Posted postcards. Looked at moon again. Came home. It is now the golden hour for photography. So I enjoy watching the sky for a bit. I just take photos in my mind for a further date.
Come in, cat is sitting on my bed looking at me, "You went out?"
I search my bed. No car keys.
I am frozen by now, very wide awake, make another coffee and get back to bed to get warm.
I still don't like my moon painting. So I try a few effects with it. And this one I liked. I did try another moon on my painting, I altered it so that it was going supernova, which was my mood by now.
But this more delicate effect won.

Now to interrogate that cat...
Thank you very much @Muddy CyclistI do like the effect you have achieved like looking through a stained glass window or. frosty window, very effective.
Good morning everyone on another promising start for a day of joint pleasing warmth here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of a simple salad dinner came in at 4.9 this am
@Muddy Cyclist - good call with the wave breakers and look forward with interest to seeing darkened seas.
@geefull - thank you for “two for joy” - interesting sculptured treatment from you that works very well.
@gennepher - love that winter moon that for me is seen through a glass darkly or stained glass at least to give a cold crunch to the scene.
Wonderful day yesterday - balmy - and that’s not just me. Out early and a walk down a fairly deserted prom, back up through town, a couple of turns round the park - back in time for tea and medals.
Mr Potato Head has gone all gender neutral - will that mean that there will be less pieces? More pieces? So how do you then distinguish when ordering between the one with the black pork pie hat and moustache and the blond one with the red lips? Good grief, nearly as bad as not being able to read “A Little House on the Prairie”. We have come so far since the ancient Greeks despite the controls of despots but now - humanity, in the west at least, seems doomed to whoever shouts the loudest on social media. Fahrenheit 451? Howl against the moon, tilt at the windmills.
Didn’t feel like art yesterday, suffering from acyrologia - or probably acyrologiaphobia - so just a quick sketch on a 4x4” bit of rice paper. Hope everyone has a spiffingly good Saturday, if not argue with yourself about vaccine rollout in a Tommy Cooper Brigadier and Fritz outfit in a flurry of gender free idiocy. Where’s mi koffy.

You'll see my ghost in HaltwhistleBeautiful day again in North Cumbria.
Had a good afternoon yesterday when we went down to the Solway and Campfield Marsh RSPB. When we were parked up we had a car to car chat with some birder friends.
The guy is younger than I and a very sick man but not letting anything stop him getting out and planning on getting to Wells birding in the autumn. Great attitude.
Near the marsh pools a male Hen Harrier in good plumage flew past close, great views of a rare breeding bird.
Had a look at my bt emails last night and found I had got the shielding extremely vulnerable letter from NHS.
Not supposed to go out, go to chemist or shops, etc, etc.
Have a good day everyone.

I bet your forebears made Devil's Porridge!You'll see my ghost in HaltwhistleAlthough I lived all my formative years in Glasgow, was born in Gretna - about as border straddling as you can get!
Fabulous place to go twitching...
Welcome Saturday. Quite when a 5.2 on Swipey needed divine intervention to rescue the day - weekend? - is unclear but a sad fact of my life for now. So, Pope Francis - good to see he makes it into C of E Lent reflections- my granddaughter "Boo"- Isobelle Alessia is so much nicer - and The Ozark Mountain Daredeveils come to the rescue. God provides in mysterious ways - LC 0 God gazillions - always gonna be 1 sided. Hug for wakefulness @SlimLizzy. Your evening sounds wonderful @Muddy Cyclist. Glad the arm is improving and great art @geefull. Hug for lost keys and cold start @gennepher - art is a gift for you thanks for sharing. @dunelm I sense a gamut of emotions hidden in that post hug for the despair at man's inhumanity to man and every other self definition and thanks for the art. @lindisfel I would imagine your daughter and The Duchess hang their heads in despair at such a "cavalier" approach. @BRSBRI you must be so proud of both daughters.
5.0 @ 10.07 - something is wrong there after tea and minimal stepage.
At the factory there? Funnily enough....I bet your forebears made Devil's Porridge!

Ouch, that's a long wait, particularly given the tone of your recent posts re Mr Slim.
While no where near ideal, perhaps one glimmering light, is hopefully, now you know, the worry can settle in a calmer place, for a while at least.
Presume time frame covid related.
Hoping a gap comes earlier & some method of managing any pain/ discomfort/issues until then, was suggested.
Take care, both of you.
I hope not because my daughter is in Edinburgh uni and I haven't been able to see her for monthsThank you @gennepher - it may be, if we are unlucky, that traveling to Scotland may soon be classed as “abroad”.
Don't you worry. Just sing Flower of Scotland at full throttle - that's a passport right hereI hope not because my daughter is in Edinburgh uni and I haven't been able to see her for monthsI might have to dodge border control and hope I don't get tasered
