Watch it Slimlizzy you will be getting lines full of french irregular verbs!Lol this neighbour is an English ex head teacher... maybe thats why she thinks its necessary to remind me of the rules so frequently.
Maybe I should misbehave - if it will help me learn the language.Watch it Slimlizzy you will be getting lines full of french irregular verbs!

Ah. But in France it's the law, no noise after noon on saturday. (Local rules vary, but thats the norm.) Unless you are a farmer ofc. Then you can operate heavy machinery from 4am to midnight. Or all 24 hours if needed.@SlimLizzy - Mum can be quite funny about what she considers is 'ok' to do in the garden on a Sunday too
That's exactly what I have found.I usually find searching high and low for something else entirely works best
Thats what happens when one writes the rule book oneself.Ah. But in France it's the law, no noise after noon on saturday. (Local rules vary, but thats the norm.) Unless you are a farmer ofc. Then you can operate heavy machinery from 4am to midnight. Or all 24 hours if needed.
The rebellious teenager in me would have been dying to come out @SlimLizzy20.06.2021
7.35am FBG 5.8
A brighter morning than expected with the sun trying to keep through.
Visited our opinionated neighbour and did a very civilised exchange of plants surplus to requirements. BUT, she also, and AGAIN, reminded me about the rules on noise. She so brings out the rebellious teenager in me.
If it wasn't so wet I might have got the mower out, or the chop saw, or the hedge trimmer. Tout est interdit aprés le midi en Samedi et interdit absolutement en Dimanche.
Thanks @geefullgood evening all
4.5 yesterday and 4.4 today
much running around trying to make sure the visit goes well, they are off home again in the morning so there is peace on the horizonnot that the are onerous visitors but we're not used to the disruption anymore
Roast chicken dinner today with a baked vanilla custard and fresh strawberries for afters (LC choc cake and yoghurt for me), LC 'notella' works fine for adding a touch of lux to my choc cake( 1 tsp almond butter, 1 tsp cocoa powder and a little truvia mixed together with a touch of vanilla and almond milk to get the texture right - stored in the fridge in a small pot, very quick to make might try using LC hazelnut coffee syrup instead of vanilla next time)
We had absolute torrential rain yesterday evening with a river running down the centre of the road outside then a cool, cloudy day today until about an hour ago, now the sky is a lovely blue
Hope your day is treating you kindly
Not on the forum yesterday so may I wish you a Happy belated Birthday @ianpspurs
I hope your reader turns up, I usually find searching high and low for something else entirely works best
@SlimLizzy - Mum can be quite funny about what she considers is 'ok' to do in the garden on a Sunday too
@gennepher - lovely bee picture, so full of vibrancy and lightand your dream studio looks peaceful and remote alright poised over the valley
@dunelm - lovely grove of trees, very ethereal and I like the subtle colours in today's landscape and a fine sense of space
@Muddy Cyclist - two lovely sketches today thank youlooks like mrs MC and yourself have made good use of the available weather and a picnic is a fine idea Hope the quire practice stays dry
@lindisfel - wow a Morgan, haven't seen one of those for a while
When I was a youngling my father had a friend who made spare parts for the three wheelers, Dad used to help him out if he was very busy, (engine or gearbox 'dogs' I think they were called, which used to wear - were they chain drive?), we went along to a meet at Keddleston Hall with dad's friend and I had the honour of riding about in one for a game which involved spearing apples as you raced round a course against the clock. I was the (rather inexpert) speargirl, great fundid they used to adorn the v engines with champagne corks for some reason?
art bit - I'm afraid I can't find my note of the inspiration for this experiment in colour, painted on Hahnemuhle BritanniaI'll edit it in if I find it.

Oh I remember the Morgan 3wheeler @lindisfelDrew a blank, the route from Cockermouth to Armathwaite must have been over Keswick or down a quantum tunnel.
Got to talk to a farmer friend from the farm on top of the nearby drumlin with his spiffing Morgan four wheeler. Red and very well kept like all his classic fleet.
He reckoned Caldbeck was absolutely mobbed with visitors at the Muddy Duck when he came through.
They must be raking the money in, in the Lakes now and going to the banks with wheel barrows.

Ps Asked him if he remembered the Morgan three wheelers? He gave me a hard look but he asked for it cos he pulls my leg.
My rebellion was of a subtle nature.
Sounds like my kind of game plan @SlimLizzyMy rebellion was of a subtle nature.
I visited her, when she proposed to come to me. Her opportunity for a good nose round and snide comments was lost.
Thank you.good evening all

Sunrise sounds superb, dull here but something magical about the flat light today.Fbg 6.7
Digital painting in Procreate with inspiration from Zhang Daqian.
I had intended doing a very colourful one, but this black and white one took my attention, and the dawn and sunrise I am watching here from my bedroom is liquid gold. So beautiful...

Like for chaffinch and cat hair. Hug for your discomfort and undone healing.21.06.2021
7.00am FBG 5.9
My shoulder is painful this morning, am really annoyed with myself, letting a moments carelessness destroy all the months of work to rehabilitate it.
On a lighter note there is a female chaffinch busy collecting nesting material from outside my kitchen door. Ironic that she is lining her nest with cat hair.
Ah, the French and their prohibitive weekend rules - a drum kit would suite - or a base sax.20.06.2021
