Thank you for sharing your art. The Farmers Market sounds very useful for you and SIL so I'm delighted for you. I'm with you on the France Ireland game and hope for a competitive game in Rome later. Despite the alleged penny pinching of the owner I'm hoping for the Bengals to win the Superbowl but I won't stay up to watch this year. Gym tomorrow - a significant piece of The Jigsaw.Good morning everyone from a somewhat damp and overcast beginning to the day here in the dark and dangerous north.
Farmers market - blustery weather so all set up indoors. A few choice titbits and some splendid rusk free sausages, now confined to the freezer to eke out over the coming weeks until the next market. A couple things for sister in law and job’s a good ‘un. Splendid performances from France and Ireland yesterday and I do hope that Italy make England work hard today - I do want England to win but at the same time for Italy to do well.
Art - completed the one that I had started two days ago, well, as much as I want to. Hope you all have a pleasant day of it. I shall now pour my koffy.

Thank you @gennepher and as promised, a boat.I love the way this has turned out @dunelm
Beautiful...
Thank you @ianpspurs. It’s a decent market but as you pointed out, some things are pretty high on price point at these events. Still, it supports local businesses, apart from the curry guys who come from Leeds. Let’s hope that the England team don’t mess up and good luck to the Bengals.Thank you for sharing your art.

I stayed in the hall as I felt too tired to go to the pub across the road. I don't think that it is physical tiredness but is more mental tiredness. Maybe because of all that has gone on since Christmas.Now you take care @Krystyna23040
Have a leisurely lunch or coffee if you can.
I thought such opportunities were the whole point of taking back control from pettifogging BrusselsThis written English language is a nightmare, one word, one spelling wood make life much easier
I get you with the mental tiredness @Krystyna23040I stayed in the hall as I felt too tired to go to the pub across the road. I don't think that it is physical tiredness but is more mental tiredness. Maybe because of all that has gone on since Christmas.
I had a protein powder lunch and I also had a little Thermos flask with my Nespresso coffee - which was lovely.
Greetings from Forest Heath. In the Temporal year it is "just" Sunday or Superbowl Sunday later. In the Liturgical year it is Septuagesima Sunday which starts a season either lasting 70 days or ending on Shrove Tuesday - Shrovetide. I like the idea of this dovetailing neatly with lambing season and being an important part of The Real England. @gennepher amazing story and creative which ties in, at least in my head, with yesterday. J sounds like a truly special man which is entirely fitting for you as a truly special lady. What other partner would you have chosen? So yesterday. Grandson did his km+ swim then 2 hrs cricket coaching. There was a group of children of mixed gender and ability in the fabulous new sports hall recently opened as part of a major facility. Matt Hancock played a significant part in ensuring this happened so thanks are due there. The lead coaches were not the image of athleticism but their skill, joy in passing on their knowledge and love of the game stood out. As with J, I am certain one can find God's loving presence in so many people and places other than formal settings. Posh chicken for Sunday lunch with MIL today. I need at least some gravy - normies - so not "pure", sorry Pearl Clutchers. I think I have now found all the pieces of The Jigsaw - just need to assemble them now. That should be fun as I've never made a jigsaw or model in my life.
A delightful tale.Fbg 6.3
Creative today...in Procreate.
But first, a story. A true story.
J and I would go round gardens of stately homes. Sometimes there would be a hermitage carved in sandstone or something. J would sit on the stone bench, both hands round his twisty long walking stick, head bowed a little, and meditate.
Before long some children would wander in and look wide eyed at this white bearded apparition with the green velvet brimmed hat hiding his face. The children would rush out, and come back in dragging a grown-up.
The grown-ups would say 'shh' to the children, who wanted to ask questions.
Meanwhile J was still deep in meditation. But then one bold child would go up and touch J on the knee. J's head would slowly rise. 'Are you the hermit who lives in this cave,' the child would ask. (But if it was December, J would get asked if he was Father Christmas, to which he would reply 'Yes'.)
J would say he was the resident hermit in this cave. And before long there there was a group of children seated in front of him. The children would ask questions, and J would answer. And then he would go on to tell them stories. The grown-ups listened intently as well.
After a long time had passed, the grown-ups would say it was time the children went home. They would go up and shake J's hand.
And just J and I were left in the hermit's cave. Then we went home.
I often wondered what the Stately home people thought when their visitors came back, asking where the resident hermit was today...
I give you the essence of J....

It’s Hector the vector down below with the kelp. Smashing. Hope your fibromyalgia calms down today.Fbg 6.7
Not sleeping properly tonight so Fbg is to pot anyway...
I am doing the half hour sleep at a time, then waking up...my body saying 'Hey here are fireworks going off in your your toes' tonight....my fibromyalgia kicking off.
Finally tried a Procreate painting, but stopped halfway through...will return to it another day.
In the meantime I've always wanted to try Vectors. So here is a simple Creative using Vectors. Superimposed over a photo of the Believe sign on my glass bedroom door.
So, here you are...
Good morning/night/whatever it is...
