Yes that feral cat is still around @Krystyna23040
Yes that feral cat is still around @Krystyna23040That was a good move. I did the same with my first aid box - especially with plasters for the occasional finger slicing incidents. Is the feral cat still around?
He seems almost human sometimes....That is lovely that Popeye checks that you are ok.
Love it. By now it is clear to me I like watercolour landscapes. If you could all include a cricket pitch and church in all your work I'd be much obliged.A good but very cold Muddy Cylcle ride. The heathland was very dry, must be the winds, cold and flat light that made the sleeping grass shine and heather darken. Very quiet and still out there today so a good three hours.
Heathland today.

Now have to try and record myself playing some tricky Bass Recorder music as the other three in the Quartet have done there bits and await my effort. It's a hard piece and fingers get into a panic over some of the sections where lots of black dots on sticks are crammed into a bar. Driving me crazy.
Thank you @dunelm for the poorly finger wishes.Good morning everyone from a several (a lot more than 50) shades of grey morning in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of spiced up Jamaican Dub chicken soup and some home made bread came in at 5.2 this am
Wet - yes, the word to describe yesterday. It all looked fine when we set out from home but halfway down the promenade we were attacked by heavy moisture - which proved one thing, our waterproof coats still work.
First jab today - we have to go to York - should we take a picnic?
In other news, Eastenders has asked Mrs Queen if her family is copying one of their intriguing story lines while the casting directors of the new Jim Carrey film “Liar Liar” has asked the Mayor of Scotland if she would like a roll. I don’t watch Eastenders bye the way, I have enough problems being bored with the morning news show on the beeb - all that giggling, butting in and sometimes - sometimes - (can we mention bias?).
Art today, a hungry bird and the prospect of lunch. Big hug to @gennepher for poorly finger but a stout hoorah! for Popeye and first aid box foresight. Hope that everyone has a wonderful Friday - no illegal raves please. Koffy time.

Great manicured landscape @Muddy CyclistA good but very cold Muddy Cylcle ride. The heathland was very dry, must be the winds, cold and flat light that made the sleeping grass shine and heather darken. Very quiet and still out there today so a good three hours.
Heathland today.

When ever you are passing give me a shout.I could even get the trike up that trail! That looks great...
Thank you,Great manicured landscape @Muddy Cyclist
I love all the detail of fields, lane, and oak trees...
Ok I will see what can be done.Love it. By now it is clear to me I like watercolour landscapes. If you could all include a cricket pitch and church in all your work I'd be much obliged.
3690 degrees, thats a lot of head turning even for a Barn Owl!When ever you are passing give me a shout.
These are the bridleways not the bike routes, I visit this spot quite often it's known as the firewatch as the views are good for 3690 degrees. My kids get all "Oh dad!" when we pass here on bikes or walks as I always take the oportunity to remind them it's where I want my ashes scattered on a windy day.
I have stopped riding the single track technical trails during Covid as it seems irresponsible to possibly add a casualty to an overworked NHS.
Below link is what I really enjoy riding and use the Full Suspension bike for....
Cannock
I am luck to have this on my doorstep and can ride to the trail head in about 10 minutes from home. Been doing it for 25 years and although no longer work on my bike I am a qualified British Cycling and Scottish Mountain Bike leader and course runner assessing and training potential leaders, mostly education staff and MOD personnel. I did this weekends as I had a computer software business that kept me busy during the week.
Bother, I was never any good at geometry.3690 degrees, thats a lot of head turning even for a Barn Owl!
Love it! I can feel my legs aching already...When ever you are passing give me a shout.

The problem was Teddy. He always seemed to be in the middle of it all. Bit of a basket case himselfBut he/she was always going to bed with Looby Loo. I always wondered what went on in that basket.
Thanks @geefullgood evening all

We had to a take mum out to pick up her pension today but the street was very quiet

Hope your day is treating you kindly

@dunelm - Another strong bird painting today and I especially like that foliage and the gentle water
@jjraak - your good progress continues
@Muddy Cyclist - A well balanced picture, the trees are strong and lead the eye in nicely and the foreground is impressive as always

That's a shame. It is really good that you are making sure that the feral cat does not hurt Popeye again.Yes that feral cat is still around @Krystyna23040
Popeye is a very intelligent cat.He seems almost human sometimes....
