Lovely photo of Popeye. Funnily enough I was just thinking that I should take some photos of 15 year old Archie while he is still well and enjoying life.Fbg 6.7
I am trying to aim for more sleep in the night. For years I only had 4 hours sleep a night. The last thing I want is Alzheimer's. My birth mother had Alzheimer's. What was very poignant was she actually recognised me on my last visit to her in the care home, after the staff had told me she wouldn't recognise me.
I did manage more sleep last night. And I had planned an action filled day today. Then I thought hang on, what am I doing? So, changed it to a chilled out day, after a chilled out night's sleep.
I realised with doing nothing but painting for the last couple of years, I have neglected my photography, and I am not taking the best of photographs now. So, like I said a couple of days ago, I am going to concentrate on the art of photography for a wee while. The iPad is much kinder and takes much softer photos of Popeye which makes him look younger, but the Pixel phone takes much sharper images of Popeye and make him look the age he is.
And I think it is maybe time (since he made that amazing recovery from the heat stroke, and he is 29 years old, and he does have dementia controlled quite well with the tablets I found for him) that I document him for a bit while he is well and able bodied. Sorry if you don't like cats, but I will do a collage of plants and objects in my garden as well!
So, my art today is a collage of photos...

I think you are right and I need a refund on my dictionary. It's the same dictionary I use when I say to a class 'this is a lovely exercise':and they say 'no it's not - it is a really hard exercise '. What I should have said is that 'this is a really effective exercise '.interesting concept, in theory, you being lazy. I'd request a refund on that dictionary.
I totally agree @Krystyna23040Lovely photo of Popeye. Funnily enough I was just thinking that I should take some photos of 15 year old Archie while he is still well and enjoying life.
Moving post and never apologise for documenting those so dear to you. I don't like cats but I recognise how important they are to many. I'm also no lover of photographs but I can feel the love in your work and your joy in sharing your amazing gift of capturing and arranging images I would probably just pass by. Sleep well at night and for many years to come.Fbg 6.7

Can't wait and so good you have projects. The image is event tracking for some protein bars I ordered - some project. Fedex?Thanks.
My next project after this @ianpspurs is actual real paintings, not digital paintings.
I am tidying my studio and desk (I know I have been saying that since January this year), but I get untidied very quickly!
So, when I have got all that prepared, and worked out, then you will see paintings again....in the meantime....
They need Bertie Booster to promote them. He urgently needs a Jeeves.@ianpspurs I definitely need a new dictionary. I was telling a friend about my 'supersonic' broadband from BT. She got back to me to say that she couldn't find supersonic broadband on their website.
I hate FEDEX @ianpspurs I have something I was/am sending to Gibsonville in the States. There has been a hold up at every opportunity for a hold up. Right now it is in Memphis, where it has been held up for clearance status. And then two weeks ago it was cleared. But it is still sitting in Memphis.Can't wait and so good you have projects. The image is event tracking for some protein bars I ordered - some project. Fedex?I just wanted some LC protein with my morning coffee - well, very loose definition of coffee for those who like the stuff you can strip paint with/ stand a spoon in. Is one really meant to wince in pain drinking the stuff?
Good morning@gennepher. There seems to be a general problem with postal services in the States. My mum's birthday cards have just arrived and were posted on May 3rd! I've started sending my cards to family over there well in advance. Good luck with your parcel.I hate FEDEX @ianpspurs I have something I was/am sending to Gibsonville in the States.

It was posted at end of May and I was told it would take two to four weeks to get to Gibsonville...

Obviously the elevated liver enzymes don't merit a winner, hug for that issue. Winner for morning campersGood morning campers. fbs yesterday was 10.1 so no point in testing today or until I've finished the antibiotics. Had battery of blood tests last week. Message from GP arrived yesterday to say my liver enzymes are elevated and to have a retest in 6 weeks. Will ring after 11am today for the rest of my results including HbA1c so fingers crossed. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with a nurse for my diabetic review so I guess I'm lucky in that respect as others on here don't seem to be having theirs due to Covid restrictions. Although I don't post on here very often I do check in every day to see how you are getting along and to contribute to the
Thank you @ianpspurs. Your post made me smile.Obviously the elevated liver enzymes don't merit a winner, hug for that issue. Winner for morning campersand simply for being @dogslife and the splendour thereof. Make sure you do as commanded - Prince Charles and I both like these gels and Marmite and tomato sandwiches.
Thanks for the heads up @dogslifeGood morning@gennepher. There seems to be a general problem with postal services in the States. My mum's birthday cards have just arrived and were posted on May 3rd! I've started sending my cards to family over there well in advance. Good luck with your parcel.
