Sounds like a good day of exploring was enjoyed yesterday.
Flow tests! I agree reporting the result is far the most difficult part, maybe because our eyes are watering after the pleasure of doing them.
Brush moving went well, bird looks good to me.
Enjoy the day with girl in the bubble, magic moments.
Sounds like a mate of Arthur Daley. He doesn't say The world is my lobster by any chance?" Dave the Fence " .
Riding a bike - best tonic going. You do well to keep a good 2m anti-social distance from anything vaguely resembling a cup cake - especially if they are sitting on one of those fancy stands.Greetings one and all. Too late for @gennepher but well intentioned. Great dawn artwork. The ride out yesterday sounds like it should be on prescription as a wonder tonic @dunelm. More Grandchildren days for fbg @Muddy Cyclist. Best wishes for #stitchremovslgate @Krystyna23040 but hooray for demise of #jabgateeffercts. Swipey was all 4.9ish this a.m. - sliver of b'day cake, no abhorrent icing but there was jam. It least there were no hellish cupcakesBetween an ageing, part broken body, distrust of some of the claims for lc and lack of any kind of love for much lc food I've no idea where to pitch my expectations. Enjoy your day and I hope you balance your own pleasure vs control equation well. Julie uttered a cryptic thank those kind people for their good wishes, you don't know how much their support means in this situation. What's that all about?
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and most shades in between.
A peanut and cheese fuelled 7.1 this morning on the meter of plotting and down right deviousness.
Me and me's can also report a good ride yesterday, but alas my distance was only 91 miles, but I did stop at motorcycle greasy spoon cafe, me and me's avoided the greasy spoon.
I was given permission for yesterday's ride by Mrs J and all became clear when I got back to Tilehurst Towers, Mrs J has been to a garden centre exchanging the contents of my bank account for green weeds, big bags of pot filling stuff and other such accoutrements, still it should keep her away from interfering in my schemes.
Wood working: I have been asked if I would build a foot bridge over a ditch for a partially disabled friend, not sure about this one and it's not a project that I can pass on to another wood working friend who is known as " Dave the Fence " who normally picks up my cast off's.
My plinky plonky keyboard lessons start again today, should be interesting, now I shall try and remember if the black keys come before the white keys, but at least the regular lessons provide structure to my week.
Well fellow posters, painters and gamers have a good day and remember the stays.
Thank you @dunelmA wonderful tree and reminds me very much of my time in Africa. When the sun goes down and disappears over the horizon, leaving behind an illusion of it still being there - and all of a sudden, like turning off a light - darkness - then the universe opens up - and stars - countless billions of stars.
Thank you for the compliments @Muddy CyclistPowerful, unworldly digital piece. I have seen such sunsets in England but not as dramatic as those seen by @dunelm in Africa. Good that you gained knowledge from doing this painting.
A joyful long legged bird @dunelmGood morning everyone on another day of quiet air and shining sun here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of a slow roasted lamb belly came in at 5.1 this am.
Had one of those “I wonder where that road goes” days yesterday. Letting one road lead to somewhere else and just looking at signposts pointing down B roads to somewhere interesting. Ended up skirting round the back of Northallerton and then a zig-zag meaner in the rough direction of home, arriving several hours later and 100 miles on the clock.
Lateral Flow Test - my first stab at one yesterday with the assistance of a mirror and a torch - more difficult to report on line than doing the actual test. Negative - well, so it indicated with a single stripe. You can have two a week which is probably why they come in a box of seven - it’s like one of those school maths questions - buns come in packs of six and burgers in packs of eight - how many packets of each do you require to get ........ the answer of course is “stop buying stuff from that shop”.
Another stork this morning - one of those “just get that brush moving” affairs - about 5 minutes on rice paper. Hope that everyone is still enjoying some sunshine. I shall drink koffy and await the arrival of the girl in the bubble.

Stitch removal was painless but unfortunately there is quite a lot of glue over some of the the stitches and I have to go back next week so that the nurse can have another go at taking these out.hope the stitch removal went painlessly
Glue? And I thought they still used vinegar and brown paper!Stitch removal was painless but unfortunately there is quite a lot of glue over some of the the stitches and I have to go back next week so that the nurse can have another go at taking these out.

@gennepher - two lovely pictures filled with stunning lightthat second one almost has a UV glow.
@dunelm - I'm really enjoying your 'stork' pictures, the first is full of life and action, lovely ruffling feathers and the second one highlights how delicate but strong those long legs are
@Krystyna23040 - hope the stitch removal went painlessly
@ianpspurs - all good wishes to Julie
@Muddy Cyclist - sometimes a sketch is just the thing, filling up the memory store
