Very wet paper and a well loaded large paint brush and it more or less did itself.
Very wet paper and a well loaded large paint brush and it more or less did itself.Thats beautiful dont know how you could do that in 10 mins. Amazing and thank you. Yourself and @gennepher have certainly made grey January more bearable with your art.
Too modest sirVery wet paper and a well loaded large paint brush and it more or less did itself.
Yup
Me Clint Eastwood...
Subtitles were there in the trailer...
Looks a very good film.
PS. @SaskiaKC I miss Downton Abbey. Have you seen the movie they made when the series ended? I think they might make another.
I was only thinking about skipping over the weekend and remembering all the hours of skipping as a child. So thanks for the sweet emoticon. Fascias and soffits are the boards between the roof and the walls to keep rain and small animals out and to which guttering is attached to feed the rainwater from the roof into the downpipes on the walls. I have three water butts that the pipes feed into which I use on the garden during dry spells.
I like the sound of Little Carbing and if the Tee2 Arms stocks decent gin and books @Muddy Cyclist band then I think a grand old time will be had! Needless to say folk could bring their dogs with a separate play area for cats and special menus for all concerned.
That is a wonderful dream, dont you think?
Fbg 9.1 at 4am
why?
I had tinned fruit and double cream again. As I have said before I have dry mouth and throat due to Sjögren's syndrome, and this is so comforting to my throat and mouth during the night and meansI don't have to take my several different dry mouth meds in the night.But this is absolutely no good for my blood sugars.
The thing is there is artificial sweeteners in my prescribed dry mouth meds. And I don't like artificial sweeteners. I have researched all this and tried to find something different, but it comes down to food again as the best natural thing to help my dry mouth. But the foods I need to eat for my dry mouth raise my blood sugars. The Speech and Language therapist said to eat the foods I need to eat for my dry mouth and throat, and we will give you extra/more diabetic meds. She said you have to eat, and you need to eat to keep your throat lubricated so it doesn't seize up. and when my throat seizes up my airway seizes up because it is next to it...I have a spray I always carry now so I am ready the second it seizes up.
I am not going down that road with extra diabetic meds.
You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't...
So frustrating.
Just so tired of it all.
Back to the drawing board...
ButI am still here, to mither you all with my daily painting challenge...creaking gates last the longest...
The shadow world today...

I will have a look at your earlier posts, then I will have a nap...electric blanket is on...cat is already asleep on top of me, heated steam eye mask is ready at my side...and I will meditate...
Have a good Monday...
Have fun...
Have some hugs out of the bottomless basket of hugs whether you need them or not...
Oh...I am currently looking out of my bedroom window at a Sparrow-hawk...he/she is watching carefully...
I understand your point but there was such an outpouring after the series ended it was to satisfy public acclaim as much as of course making more money for the brand. Have you read any of Julian Fellowes books, the screenwriter, they give a marvellous insight into the upper classes, their way of life and their house parties etc. You might enjoy them more than the televised series perhaps. This is still alive in England today, much less so, but still happening. No 2 son won a scholarship to a private school and has attended such hosted black tie dinners at one or two houses which have followed this tradition, but without the servants. Typically shoot game and cook it for dinner and party through the night and finish with cooked breakfast after dawn when everyone leaves. So completely unlike me or Mr PM’s life experiences. He has moved on now but have to say they were very generous and hospitable friends to him.I haven't seen the movie. I wasn't a big fan of the TV series, and TBH I don't like the producers wanting to capitalize on a "free" TV series by making it into a movie and charging fans to go and see it. I'm surprised Robert approved.
The trick with fasting between meals is not to have anything that will trigger a response - even one cup of tea with milk will break a fast. I tend to have green tea in the morning and black koffy up to around noon - then breakfast at that time. A big tablespoon of Inulin a couple of hours before I go to bed seems to keep things running flat during the night. Note - only been eating protein (ish) this month.

I was just watching my favourite LCHF/Keto doc on Youtube and he has produced this video on the Coronavirus. Included here for information purposes

Yeah agree but it was wrote from knowledge for the screen and to lend some poeticsl licence! I doubt thewriter had very much knowledge aboutbelow stairs people!That sounds like wonderful experiences for your son. I used to love Upstairs, Downstairs back in the '70s. I love the setting and the scenery of DA too. What I didn't like was the constant, ceaseless intrigue -- Thomas and O'Brien got to be too much too soon, and the complications with poor Bates, it was like Fellowes tried to cram the trials and tribulations of an entire society into one household.

Yes you are right and though it reminded me so much of that path I confess we never used it in the dark. Re your reply to @DJC3 I think one of the frustrating things with treatment is when they dont consider whats best for all your ailments.
Re replacing the juice can I suggest the thread “what have you eaten today” which I engage in. There are some very good (and friendly and helpful) folk on there who often come up with a recipe adapted for LC. I seem to remember someone made a good lemon drink.
You remind me of Francis of Assisi, who called his body "Brother Ass" -- I don't know how he meant that but reading your post I thought of mine as a good servant, always on call, like a horse in a stable. (I did watch rather a lot of Downtown Abbey yesterday ...)
Mither away to your hearts content @gennepher. Liked today's, reminded me of a Welsh slate path I know in Ogden Valley and a slate fence that runs along its side, you have caught the light so well.
Back from a really good Muddy Work Out, 4 hours, my friend took some photos which he's supposed to send me but non arrived yet.
Busy learning Little Red Rooster for a gig, looked out of window to see this sunset behind some trees, a moment when the trees were back lit. A very quick watercolour 10 mins to capture the moment, A5 size.

Oh I absolutely love roast chicken but has to be hot! Mr PM teases me about it!I'm sitting here eating roast chicken for a late lunch and I just realized something.
I don't want a one-night stand relationship with food. Like the custard I had for breakfast - yummy taste and a nice sugar high-- but those can't offset the negative effects of such a meal.
I want a long-standing, sustaining relationship with good foods I can go on eating, every day or most days, and not suffer the crash after the high.
I love roast chicken and if it doesn't give me the sweet high of custard, or some other carby-sugary treat, neither will it leave me feeling empty and craving just ... one ... more ... bite...
Thank you, I think my quick watercolour paintings work out best, when I consciously start a proper painting I spend too long and the freeness goes. In all these years I have not been able to let myself work freely on full pieces of art as I do with my watercolour sketches.Thanks @Muddy Cyclist
You are brilliant at your quick watercolours (well, all of them), it really captures the feeling of the setting sun.
