I'll keep an eye out because as you rightly say, the usual path is very north...
Hope all well with you...
I'll keep an eye out because as you rightly say, the usual path is very north...Hi Ian,
See if you can spot the volcanic eruption when you go over Iceland on the Great Circle.
I loved seeing Greenland, Baffin Island and N.W Territories. What a massive place Canada is.
The volcano has got very actice and put out considerable lava flows in last 24 hours.

Oh no, not needed. I like being confused with sensible folksSo is @Cumberland - quite interesting. Apologies @lindisfel and you, Ian
Apparently people not called Ian sneak in on our thread guysOh no, not needed. I like being confused with sensible folks
Brian says "Hi"We had Rainbow and now we've got Brian and the Magic Roundabout!
Thanks @Muddy CyclistSnail pace, the way to go. Enjoy the day hope you achieve loads.
Great art. Reminds me of the Pierhouse in Port Appin where you park your car on the beach at the hotel...good evening Ian's and others
4.6 today
second day of high winds and snow showers, it's flippin' cold here but it's forecast to get a bit warmer tomorrow thank goodnessdone nothing but stay in and keep warm today
Hope your day is treating you well
@BRSBRI - safe and pleasant journey
@Muddy Cyclist - love the minimal landscape especially like the way you've brought so much colour into the foreground (rigger ?) and the wash layer for the next picture is looking good.
Mrs MC deserves at least one hug a day after that start, second to a pile of computer discs, at least she ranked above the car
@ianpspurs - love gooseberries, don't like the picking or the topping and tailing but the homemade gooseberry fool is worth the effortthe gooseberries at Mum's are green ones but we have one bush of the red variety here
@gennepher - so much character and fun in that deceptively simple painting, I love it
@dunelm - lazy or not it's very effective art
@lindisfel - the new Iceland volcanic eruption makes for interesting observations doesn't it? I believe the people on the live feed chat call the first cones 'Bob' and the new fissure 'Flo'quite gentle (as volcanos go )

Thank you. Yes I do give Mrs MC more than one hug a day. I admit I was wrong but back in the late 1980s when accident occurred the data on those many discs amounted to big 6. Figure pounds and would have meant many hours work to recover and possibly rewrite. All was well in the end.good evening Ian's and others

You have some wonderful memories there. £140 s week in the mid 70s was amazingly good and must have been really useful when you were back at UNI.Plum picking was perfect for UNI summers. Outdoor work, no travelling except by bike. Amazing tan by mid September. Only once picked pears - such an easy way to rack up money very quickly. In mid 70s £140 per week cash in hand was all good. I still have and wear the made to measure sheepskin coat I bought with some of the money the summer I turned 21 (and I was defo not overweight then) . Loved working with my grandfather who had planted some of the oldest trees and was delighted to volunteer me to pick the tops of the tallest trees in the area. "Don't worry, I know where there is a ladder big enough." Thanks granddad.
Unfortunately I have had to ban peanut butter from.the house because of the rather alarming speed I consumed it. I haven't dared buy it again.I love gooseberries and really thick Greek yoghurt. It's lush with peanut butter dribbled over the top. Mind you, I'd even eat sausages and peanut butter if that was delivered to me!
OMG. What a hassle. But in a good way. And I'm thankful for an amazing exec assistant. Been a long day for her too.
There's a plane leaving Luton airport mate tomorrow, a last minute empty leg has come up from a broker, so I'm being driven around the M25 up the M1 leaving here at 0630 for an airborne time of 0915 out of LTN. It's apparently a BBJ heading not to San Francisco but San José which is far more convenient and near Cupertino etc.
So I get there a day early and it's all been approved.
Still coming back on Air France it seems...
It's not normally this chaotic, but it's come close at times; once I left for 7 days and came back 5 weeks later...a loooong story.
With that, sleep after an interesting day will be soon, given I need to meet my driver at 0630!
Here's to a calm predictable flight tomorrowand a smashing day for all of you too
Thank you @gennepher - it contained rather more atop and you know when you pause and think to yourself, “hm! That doesn’t look as good as it did inside my head.” - So I cut a strip out of the middle - top bit this morning.Thanks for the snail compliment @dunelm
Your painting has a great sense of the distance of the water, and the lofty mountains at the back...
Thank you @geefull, I shall stay lazy! Interesting painting from you today in fly over mode. Smashing sea colours fronting up that beach and then the cliffs and on into those cloudsgood evening Ian's and others
