Thank you @gennepherGreat mountains @dunelm
I love these.
I have coffee and slather crème fraîche on top...I like it...seems quite decadent at 06456.40am FBG 5.5
Off to have breakfast having discovered that just a cup of coffee, even with cream, does not do the job. Although I am using single cream, which is the nearest equivalent to the French Crême Entier.
Perhaps with double cream it might work.
Just jaw dropping. She's also suffered verbal abuse when she was in Emergency. And all she and her colleagues were doing is simply trying to help...That is appalling. Good that you bought her a new one.
You must have spread a lot of happiness, gennepher, writing to friends over the years.Fbg 6.5
I was outside on my thatched swing this morning in the early dark hours drinking my first cuppa tea, as I usually do if it is not raining.
I was taking photos with my Android phone, because I want a night time colour palette for Procreate. I had wanted a better blue for the little glass windows on the roof of my fairy toadstool I have been painting. This fairy toadstool can be lit up with a night light. It is in my garden. It is another one of those fairy things that J bought me...
There is a luminescent blue glass ball on a metal pole in my garden. It usually glows most of the night. So I was taking photos of that for colour reference. Quite big moths are flying round my phone and into me in the dark.Then something with wings did a fly past in front of my face...it might have been the female blackbird, but if it wasn't, well I came in then.
I have two of those little white griffins. I need to find the other one before the plants in the garden do their Jack and the Beanstalk act...
In Procreate, my digital painting for today...

Now I need another coffee or two or three...
I have 25 postcards to write today. More if I have time. Then 3 snail mail letters to pen friends, a group of us agreed to write the old fashioned way with fountain pens and I have just treated myself to a new one which I am eager to try. And 3 conversational emails to my email pen friends.
My daughter in Oz says what on earth can you find to write about for all that. I explain it's an exchange of ideas between countries, anything can be discussed. Also, the postcards I bid on are meaningful to me, and they are places I have been to in the past, and so there is plenty to 'talk' about. And, because I am profoundly deaf, and it was only relatively recently, just over 10 years ago, that I got the cochlear implant (which is not like the switch people think it is - oh you can hear speech now?!?!), I have never been able to verbally enter an interesting conversation, all my life, in the way hearing people do. But I can do this in emails, postcards, and handwriting letters...
Catch you all later...
Have the best day you are able to, and that is a winner!
Thank you Alf, I must have developed an impervious pacadermis!Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who dance the Irish jig on national bin day.
Many thanks for all the kind notes about my hospital consultation.
Congratulations to @lindisfel on surviving so many years of marital domination
A 5.9 on that wayward meter of mystery.
Well fellow posters, painters and gamers here in Tilehurst Towers it is a day of sorting things out, planning and if the deity of your choice ( deity is subjective and me and me's plough our own furrow ) is willing starting a new woodworking project.
Stay well, stay safe and there is no truth in rumour that growing a beard will protect you from the doom mongers that work in the media.
Thank you Ian, we prefer a low profile.St Patrick's day is noted in C of E contemporary morning worship but ignored in the BCP version - quite odd. No mention of the 59th wedding anniversary of @lindisfel and Majorie elsewhere either but we who are now ITK offer our congratulations. New Swipey was insistent I be 4.7 on waking - so be it. Nosce Teipsum (as per this week's main poem but other versions on offer) isn't always instantly useful or comforting. Modern wearable tech gives me three (at least) graphs to pore over in the morning. Libre claims to track bg and fitbit tracks sleep and oxygen variation. The more sagacious among you would instantly know what to tweak so that vim, vigour and world domination would ensue. I'm all wt heck do I do about that? Some known unknowns are perhaps best left alone like sleeping dogs and dragons.
Thank you dunelm.Congratulations to you and Mrs L - I’m sure that you will celebrate in some way.
Thank you BRSBRI that is very much appreciated.
Thank you. I gave in on taking it easy and went out fence painting. Apparently next dooor neighbour says it's next Wednesday for lumberjack show.Over resting? Joints seizing up? We do have to keep moving don’t we. Still, some free entertainment today with the Leylanii removal - sounds expensive though - suggestions of more garden furniture coming in your direction.
Congratulations, I'm sure you will find a great way to celebrate at home.It may be Paddys day but we got married this day in 1962
Its going to difficult celebrating being married 59 years today.
But at least we are still here and together even though a lot of water has passed under the bridge.
Have a good day everyone.
