good evening all
4.5 today
woohoo! a fairly sunny day after a very damp start with torrents of rain.
mr gee celebrated by spending most of the morning making repairs to his shed window, then we went over to mum's to collect her shopping list only to find the heavy rain overnight had flooded half way up the drive
It happens periodically since the county raised the road when they resurfaced it, they did put an extra drain in at the side of the gate but the constant rain had filled it up with mud and leaves. So that was our afternoon, cleaning out the drain.
Katy thought the puddles on the drive were great fun to run about in
Lovely evening now but we're too 'cream crackered' to take advantage of a walk
Hope your day is treating you well
@RFSMarch - great news!
@Muddy Cyclist - Ah, the paper thing does make sense on those terms
You must be looking forward to your trip, I know I would be
@dunelm - interesting technique by the sound of it, might have a go at it myself, I've seen a few Youtube videos of people doing gel plate printing too, more food for thought
I'm liking what you have done with your new background technique today
@gennepher - many hugs for the soaking and the miserable chilling, it's been doing sudden downpours like that here too
glad you have warmed up now though.
A stunning piece of art you have produced, striking and moody background, the trees are great and the people have worked really well, amazing for such a small work area
@ianpspurs - glad you're pleased, mum's lawn is full of puddles so she's not so amused, the reseeded area where the burst pipe was repaired is appreciating it though
@SlimLizzy - looks lovely, very lush (hugs for the hard work though )
art bit -
I have fallen foul of the image size messages sometimes too so I make my images smaller to keep them about half a Gb.
