Thank you,part two - the saga continues
@gennepher - a hug for the gridlock, we are all looking forward to being able to have a bit more freedom even if we do have a suprising amount of trepidation
two lovely paintings since last I was here, the first has so much sun and light in it, are those foxgloves?
and your strongly felt 'Rhapsody in blue', such a striking composition
Painting can be so therapeutic sometimes can't it?
@dunelm - as ever I really admire your brushwork, both of those paintings are wonderful, the first with it's perched buildings has such a wide sense of space and I'm so struck by how much you have managed to get into your waterfall painting, you always have such an awareness of composition
@Mrs T 123 - keeping my fingers crossed for good fortune
@jjraak - well done
@lindisfel - The vista of the icelandic volcano is impressive isn't it? I was watching it yesterday and it was snowing over the volcano, so striking
@Muddy Cyclist - I like the tall silvery tree trunks, some of my favourite trees, beech and silver birch, the colours in the distance are lovely too and I look forward to seeing what direction you take it in
art bit - this one took me a couple of sessions, done from a photo I found on the net

On an adventure again, I like the startled look you have given the girl it adds mystery to the scene, a sort of 'What are you doing in my world?' A magical piece of art.Fbg 6.7
My digital painting for today...in Procreate.

BYE....
Sausages cooked, eggs boiled, coffee in a flask...
Adventures call....
A good sketch of High Force, a shame you didn't add some figures dangling from ropes, I bet you were tempted.Good morning everyone from another noisy and blustery start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of Thai green curry sans rice (Mrs Miggins had sticky rice) came in at 5.2 this am
Tidy up time in the garden yesterday from the fence repairs - two fence panels to break up, now sitting in the back of Mrs Miggins’ car for her to take to her time slot booked visit to the recycling centre this morning.
@geefull - thank you for your painting compliments, gratefully received and a smashing flower painting from you. I do like the way that you have used the blues in the background to enable the featured flowers to really stand out.
@gennepher - another smashing finger painting from you, amazing how you get such fine strokes and detail into them using only your finger. Great story telling. Enjoy your day out, hope the roads are not too crowded.
Art today - Hight Force - many years ago we had a rope strung across the top, in spring, over the angry water. The object was to crawl over the rope, full kit (less rifle), then hang from the centre and let go into the pool. What fun. “Can I volunteer for the safety crew?” - “No, just get in line.” Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday - I shall be shunning the crowds as usual. Time for koffy.

Thanks for sharing all these great pictures of your trip, much enjoyed.Thank you. There's plenty opportunity on this wee island for snapping. Our tech partner is a testimony to how the island of Formosa has flourished in the shadow of big red across the Straits. They have operations too of course in the PRC, where I have also been, but their locales on the mainland ain't as picturesque...lots of grey...
Here's another - earlyish morning approximately 40 mins out the city.. not a chance you'd get this over the water so close to 3 or 4 million living in a massive conurbation. View attachment 48429
The girl looks as though her blissful isolation has been shattered by someone marching in and destroying her peace. Cool stuff indeed! @gennepherOn an adventure again, I like the startled look you have given the girl it adds mystery to the scene, a sort of 'What are you doing in my world?' A magical piece of art.
Hi @Patsy Bup later due to clock going forward so 3.8 this morning

Will miss that boy too. See him tomorrow running me from meeting to meeting and on Wednesday to catch my silver bird home...Note to self each post: Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and keep the door of my lips. Who stole the mild weather I was promised? Swipey - on last legs and right arm which both = dodgy - issued a 5.6. Most likely culprit is hay fever from Suffolkness. Talking of which, surely it is Swarrfum @Krystyna23040 - learned Norfick teaching there and a decade of playing cricket with 2 team mates with very broad accents. Great art @gennepher - enjoy your freedom; @dunelm and @geefull - forum lej ma'am. @BRSBRI great photos and we will miss Hamish. If Bath will be teeming with non locals Cambridge is always full of Japanese and Chinese outside of term time, for language schools. Very curious they are too. They literally stand next to you whilst batting on Parker's Piece - suddenly appear from nowhere. The weirdest dismissal known to mankind - bowled while fending off several photographers. Not in the laws of the game anywhere else. Top weight loss tip: drop that kg which has been driving you mad overnight- change the batteries in scales.Hey presto, 74 kgs again
It's the software not the eejit taking it
Whoa.... SPECTACULAR shot...
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - might have to cut some sheets down to size and make a sketch book for traveling.A good sketch of High Force, a shame you didn't add some figures dangling from ropes, I bet you were tempted.
A travell kit for such delicate paper and ink sounds a challenge.
Great recipe - I do enjoy a spiced and roasted cauliflowerAnd finall ... Alanis you are so right. I seem to have solved the zero dark thirty hrs issue and new batteries may have solved the mysterious weight gain but the USP of low carb eating here is bg control. Way too flaky at that judging by my readings and so many other mystified posters. Freedom had tipped some over the edge. In this close there is an open invite - via whatsapp group- for drinks on the lawn - 6 at a time. Oh. have a recipe for a sensible thing to do with a cauliflower
From the same place and definitely sans chillies for meGreat recipe - I do enjoy a spiced and roasted cauliflower
It's an in-look Alf...on trendGood Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, another busy day on the treadmill of life here in Tilehurst Towers.
A 6.1 on that meter of mystery early this morning.
Things are getting a little hectic here and a dark cloud in the shape of a beard trim, never mind things could be worse in the pudding basin shape of a hair cut :-( .
Make the most of the rest of today and remember the stay's.
