Brilliant, stands out in relief as some mountains do at times.

Oh dear, the capita bug is bugging me too @dunelm but it chooses just boats for me, or traffic lights. And I fail because I don't understand American traffic lights...Help! Every time I try to post, I get a Chapcha think asking questions about boats or bicycles
Update: apart from now it seems!
Thank you @geefull for your kind words. I had a chilled out day today.good afternoon all
4.4 yesterday and 4.7 today
seems I go through occasional periods of stress about my bg, (even when it's ok), either that or it's worrying about my weight, having spent a lot of my adult life very overweight/obese and nothing working to help it any real change in the upward direction tends to bother me to a disproportionate extent, (there are those who would say I'm a bit of a control freak/numbers geek too ).
I suddenly put on 1.6 kg over the last week (to add to the 3 Kg I put on over the lockdown), so I'm trying to avoid obsessing
I'm fine really, just staying away from numbers if I can
It rained this morning but we had to go out for mr gee to get his hair trimmed so we went over to Dornoch for a potter about afterwards, we haven't been since we took Katy for a clip so it was very pleasant and at least you can get a cup of coffee now
@dunelm - both your pictures work really well, very effective, it seems to me that the semi-sized paper gives a bit more defined line and the visible contrast between the rear/front application of the colour wash is interesting. I find the hints of muted colour in both very pleasing
@gennepher - hugs for your horrible experience at the hospital, especially galling when the people concerned should know so much betterI hope your day in the garden has restored some equilibrium, nature and quiet definitely can have a beneficial effect.
I'm glad you have a helpful internet friend to aid in navigation
Both your pictures are fine and bravely very expressive, I especially like the explosion of colour
@Muddy Cyclist - Sorry you missed your ride today, I know how much joy it brings you
Your cauli, cheese and bacon sounds good I may pinch that idea
Your 'Cader Idris' in the mist is lovely and the colour you have brought into the foreground works brilliantlyI love it.
'Skin so soft' works pretty well against the dreaded West Coast 'wee beasties' and I have a citronella candle for on the patio table
My least successful bug repellant was an oily spray I bought to take on holiday in Italy a few years ago
nothing at all wrong with it's repelling properties but it recommended you sprayed it on your ankles then rubbed it into your skin, all fine, the next bit said re-apply after 3-4 hours. I did and it left big oily patches on the support socks I'd taken to wear for long walks in the heat and when I took them off and washed them the 'support' bit had degraded in circular patches
Hope your day is treating you well
art bit - sorry, it's a redo of the art from the other day (as close as I could make it), to see how the paint behaves on the first batch of new paper I bought, it's Fabriano (studio) which is 280gsm I believe.
I shall try to post a thumbnail of the one on the original paper too below just for interest, the new paper takes a lot more water and at first glance I think the colour stayed more vibrant.

It is drier in your motorhome than outside... @SlimLizzy
Thank you for your appreciation of Cader Idris.Brilliant, stands out in relief as some mountains do at times.
Bother, my cover is blown.Mmm. Plays classical music, knows art, reads poetry, wine drinker, holidays in France. Pretty bourgeois already.Relax.
Thank you.Mystical mists of Cader Idris @Muddy Cyclist
It is brilliant...
Neighbours report very dry conditions, they would like a bit of rain. Be careful what you wish for...More rain today. It's the anniversary of the flash flood at Le Rocher. Guess what weather prediction - thunderstorms, warning there is possibility of a months rain in 24 hours. That's what happened last year! Only because of lockdown we had been unable to hire a digger and clear the drainage ditches.
Did manage that later in the year, now have to hope if the heavens do open they will be effective.
Texting neighbours to see how things are...
I have a job nailing Ian's quotes every time, muddy.Learnt a new word, ignorant us middle class, nay working class attaining middle class.
He keeps us on our toes.I have a job nailing Ian's quotes every time, muddy.
He sneaks one in from the B.F.G. now and again. I think he missed mine from the book of Kings today.
D.
I get the Capcha things every time I try to reply to @geefull on her post and yes, the Fabriano paper works very well.Thank you @geefull for your kind words. I had a chilled out day today.
Aaaggh, now I got the Capita boats, and I failed, so I closed down the web page and opened a new one up...
The Fabriano paper is great for your painting today.
Brilliant.
