Thank you! Steak dinner nearly ready, candles, a dog salivating at the smell, a cat hissing because I forgot his treats and a devoted wife burning mushrooms in between a profanity or two. Wouldn't have it any other way.Enjoy what is left of your birthday!
Those are exceptional! Whaal! MrsBRS also raises a glass of Corbières - says they're great.Been out doing some Plein Air painting sketches, was a little chilly but got a few ideas down for Blackthorne Blossom each took less than 10 minutes.. I will try an A4 painting at some stage....
Ploughed field from yesterday, today I walked there...

Hope all well with you!
Wicked!I can send you the mother in law. I can assure that'll work a treat. (Don't tell MrsBRS...)
Thank you both, Bon Appetite.Those are exceptional! Whaal! MrsBRS also raises a glass of Corbières - says they're great.

good evening all
4.6 today
shopping day today so that took up a good bit of the morningthe bin men have been and it's finally stopped raining
New case for my phone arrived today and it's now gone into the charity shop donations box, I fitted the case and it activates the touch screen every time it's movedI've found myself looking at a load of screens and menus I've never seen before, hopefully I removed it before it's changed too many of my options without my noticing
Hope your day is treating you well
@BRSBRI - glad you're back safely and Many Happy Returns for tomorrow
@dunelm - love it, the trees on the crag in the foreground and the details round the base add to the strong perspective
that's a lovely photo too
@gennepher - gel prints, very fine results (runs off to google gel prints)
@jjraak - roadworksnot to mention diversions.
@Muddy Cyclist - sounds like you had a great ride, I'd be proper powfaggedproduced some great photos though and I look forward to the sketches
@lindisfel - lots of rain here today so my prime sighting was a heron fishing in the drainage canals near mum's
@ianpspurs - thanks ianp I look forward to the protein review, I might try making hot chocolate with my whey protein
interesting article link too and chimes with my own preference for more protein rather than fat in my diet balance.
art bit
this was done from a photo I saw on the net. I was quite pleased with the way the windows turned out but I overworked the sea I think.

Gerald has been on the table begging. Reminds me of my wedding nightAll sounds just as good as it should be.
Tomorrow I'm digitising all of Wan's wife's medical stuff for you. And I'll see him again in June as I will be out there again...yay! Sorry I got a bit waylaid.
A great sketch @dunelmGood morning everyone on a quite chilly start here in the dark and dangerous north. Stark contrast to yesterday.
The wonder wheel of another Thai green curry slid in at 5.4 this am.
Doors - no, not that bloke singing about people being strange - internal doors. A conversation, nay a statement, wafted my way about replacing internal doors. I shall keep schtum, and probably out of the way.
I mentioned yesterday that I was going to do three versions of a painting but then realised that I had not even started that project. Anyhow here is version one. Hope everyone has a great day, white rabbits and all, birthday wishes to Bismarck and anyone else blowing candles out to the sound of music. I am off to Switzerland to help with the spaghetti crop after I have drunk my koffy.

Hugs @BRSBRIWhat is wrong with people? Aldi was a mish mash of people seemingly worrying about a famine approaching, social distancing was neither here nor even there but I survived...masked twice...as per Fauci from the States. In and out in 20 mins. Next time it's click and collect.
MrsBRS is at her neurology clinics all day, took Sid the Stinger for reasons I can't fathom and I now know Felix Formentor is really a Seat on steroids - and gets to go to the tip in a few@jjraak thanks for telling me! I'd never have known.
And then THIS happened. "So all the tooling is starting and the design stressing has gone to plan. Your software works great but we can't do this with you over there. You need to be in the Valley next Sunday for 9 days. Get your Covid stuff sorted, you've been vacc'd right?
There's no bjz jet going out but there's one coming through on the way back prolly. Book an open return flight just in case, rent a car - we'll get you an apartment near the office in Menlo. You're speaking to the group. 10 slides. Make it punchy, you're a Group VP now. K? Cya. Welcome back home".
"Oh ya, that'll be travel done till May, so ok mate. - nice job".
Sigh. I get my annual review when I'm over there with my boss too. Hope it'll go ok.
With the state of California in a right old mess, not sure 'bout any of this but I do have to go...
Just when I thought it was safe and normal...
We are trying to stop Blackbirds nesting in a Euonymus which just can't hold their nests, they have tried and failed most years but keep coming back. This balloon we blew up on Halloween 2020 and it's not gone down and I could not bring myself to burst it. So I have found a use for the persistent balloon to scare the persistent blackbird. Did it work, NO!...
