Thank you.Nice. Looking forward to see the finished art.
Thank you @geefull and I hope the old Volvo does not cost too much to fix.good evening all
4.7 yesterday and 4.7 today
fell alseep yesterday evening and missed posting, we'd been up early to drop the car off and do the shopping, finally got the 'steering fault' car back, they've cleaned all the contacts on the sensors and now we keep our fingers crossed that it has worked otherwise looks like it may be expensive. So far so good.
We got that car because Mum couldn't get out of the older one but we kept the old volvo as a backup, which we were glad of this week but it developed a horrible grinding on the way home yesterdaymr gee says he thinks it's a drive shaft bearing. Can't get it into the garage until next Wednesday, not our week for cars
Otherwise it's been a lovely day todayso warm and sunny there were kids playing in the sea. We enjoyed our walk round the village.
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - Your dragons are very effective and I enjoyed their backstoryI especially like the way you've used the green shadows and mirrored it in the foreground.
How nice for you to have your 'fairy' things around the garden and your toadstool painting glowsI see the dragon is putting in a guard shift there too.
Postcrossing sounds like a really interesting and friendly way to communicate @gennepher but
you're braver than me going for a fountain pen, I do think they make you concentrate on the form of your writing though.
@BRSBRI - hugs for mrs B and many congratulations to your daughter
@Cumberland - nice to see you
@alf_Josiah - good results
@Mrs T 123 - commiserations and better luck next time.
@dunelm - what a fantastic sense of scale both your mountain pictures have, like them both very much. I'm with you on the idea of ironing the paper, I like the effects the water has and the way it adds to the texture.
@Muddy Cyclist - haven't sung 'Now is the month of Maying' for years, you managed a fine performance despite the technical difficulties of being separated.
I really like you Aldburgh painting, the colour in the sky and the complementary echoes in the water and foreground are lovely, very dramatic with just the silhouette of the buildings
and two fine skies to start the next part of the series, I do enjoy seeing this stage and then the finished paintings.
@lindisfel - many congratulations to you both
art bit -
I've ordered some bigger paper which will hopefully be coming in the next few days, got to try it sometime
some unusual colours seen on the way home from Mum's a few days ago, the sea was quite coppery and the hills violet

You are @lindesfel a true romantic!Every day in the countryside is a great day in this tremendous gift of life we have and if we can share it with someone we are fortunate after 59 years.
Thanks Muddy.

Great photos - living in the azure. Thanks for the geographyThe shady side of Carrock Fell yesterday!
As one looks south many many years ago there was a shield volcano but also a Plate boundary and the Iapetus Ocean where the Solway is now.

Smashing guardian lighthouse - the one that we have here is not so visually pleasing - it is though powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.Fbg 6.8
Digital painting in Procreate for today.
This lighthouse is in my garden. It actually has a light (solar powered), and guards my garden at night with its intermittent searching light beams...
My garden changes at night...

My done list (in emails, postcards, and messages) for this morning is quite long, it kept getting longer...but hopefully it really is done because I am having a garden day today. It is grey and cold, and I would really like that sun to come out...
One annoying thing about messages and photos in different chat apps, is that my friend sent two photos of her mum in hospital, and I didn't reply for another hour because I was busy doing something else, and I wanted to think about the most positive response I could give. Then, when I did get back to it an hour later, the two photos had self-destructed, presumably after being viewed. I hadn't looked at them properly and I wanted to respond to them. Next time I will take a screenshot....
Fortunately though, I do have a pretty near photographic memory still (the rest of me may be falling apart...), and I can wander round the hospital bed and room in my mind, and 'hold' her hand...
Yesterday I made an exceptionally cheeky offer for 150 postcards on eBay. It was never going to be accepted...but a few hours later, I had an email to say my offer had been accepted...

I just hope that the garden wood look never comes back into fashion or I shall have a lot on sandpapering to do.Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - grey garden - sounds like a municipal car park - have fun!
I love all lighthouses @dunelmSmashing guardian lighthouse - the one that we have here is not so visually pleasing - it is though powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
Absolutely stunning scenes @lindisfelThe shady side of Carrock Fell yesterday!

Love your mountains painting @dunelmGood morning everyone from a very quiet, anticipatory morning here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of sausages with mushrooms and eggs came in at 4.9 this am
Another sunny, breezy day yesterday on the coast. Great for walking and for blowing out the cobwebs. Watched Bill Bailey’s new Limboland on the beeb last night - chuckled all the way through. The girl in the bubble has arrived already so I expect we will be off round the park to feed the ducks in a while (other birds get involved also - as do squirrels). Govt briefing last night was interesting, Mzzzzzz von de Looney got a mention (no rosette). I wonder what medical decisions will pop up today (veiled speech for shenanegans). Anyhow, life is a roller coaster - death though, is a cold Lasagne suspended in deep freeze - I heard it on the radio in 1975.
Art today - still fiddling about with mountains. Hope everyone has a great day - we are having Finnish pea day here with Sisu (ultimate determination, fortitude and persistence - carried to an unfathomable level). First though, koffy.

Thanks very much for the painting compliments @Muddy CyclistThe art of sea painting all captured on the back garden. I like How you captured the magical effect of bioluminescent plankton around that lighthouse, often seen around ghost ships at sea, wonderful.
Hope gardening goes well today.

good evening all
4.7 yesterday and 4.7 today
fell alseep yesterday evening and missed posting, we'd been up early to drop the car off and do the shopping, finally got the 'steering fault' car back, they've cleaned all the contacts on the sensors and now we keep our fingers crossed that it has worked otherwise looks like it may be expensive. So far so good.
We got that car because Mum couldn't get out of the older one but we kept the old volvo as a backup, which we were glad of this week but it developed a horrible grinding on the way home yesterdaymr gee says he thinks it's a drive shaft bearing. Can't get it into the garage until next Wednesday, not our week for cars
Otherwise it's been a lovely day todayso warm and sunny there were kids playing in the sea. We enjoyed our walk round the village.
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - Your dragons are very effective and I enjoyed their backstoryI especially like the way you've used the green shadows and mirrored it in the foreground.
How nice for you to have your 'fairy' things around the garden and your toadstool painting glowsI see the dragon is putting in a guard shift there too.
Postcrossing sounds like a really interesting and friendly way to communicate @gennepher but
you're braver than me going for a fountain pen, I do think they make you concentrate on the form of your writing though.
@BRSBRI - hugs for mrs B and many congratulations to your daughter
@Cumberland - nice to see you
@alf_Josiah - good results
@Mrs T 123 - commiserations and better luck next time.
@dunelm - what a fantastic sense of scale both your mountain pictures have, like them both very much. I'm with you on the idea of ironing the paper, I like the effects the water has and the way it adds to the texture.
@Muddy Cyclist - haven't sung 'Now is the month of Maying' for years, you managed a fine performance despite the technical difficulties of being separated.
I really like you Aldburgh painting, the colour in the sky and the complementary echoes in the water and foreground are lovely, very dramatic with just the silhouette of the buildings
and two fine skies to start the next part of the series, I do enjoy seeing this stage and then the finished paintings.
@lindisfel - many congratulations to you both

10cc - what you do for love?Deep frozen lasagna, that doesn't sound appealing, guess it's ok if your dating in a park or in a doorway for two or simply loading up your rubberbullets...ust my 10cc on it.
And quite liking Bill bailey, saw a few minutes of it just now on iPlayer.....big chuckles.
So that's on the list for this evening , cheers @dunelm .
Bill Bailey: Limboland: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000t984 via @bbciplayer
