Just the same, she is my youngest.
Edit.. Meant to say loved you poem, another talent.
Just the same, she is my youngest.That is beautiful. I like seeing the brushes you and @gennepher use and reading about your techniques.
Is this the same granddaughter who asked you to paint Squirrel Nutmeg's fence?
Your poem is truly beautiful and so evocative, I love looking up at the moon particularly when it is partially hidden behind clouds and gives a halo of light, or when we travel along the coast and the moon can be seen casting its reflection across a calm sea and I can just see you and the cat sitting there watching the world go by. with a cup of tea in your hand. You have blessed me. Thank you.I wrote this poem this morning, before the moon had set or the sun had risen.
Ranks of clouds
pass in review before the moon
-- and now pause --
and now move onward --
And only my cat and I are awake to observe
and all the beacons below
lined up on the horizon
like troops on parade
on watch
on guard.
Against what do they guard?
The dark of night?
The dark of fright?
The dark night of the soul?
And now -- in just the matter of minutes --
of seconds --
taken to write these lines
The clouds have covered the moon
And yet - and now
it shows its light again:
one brief glimpse of light
there
beyond the darkness,
the cover of the clouds
Take cover is a cry commanding troops. ...
God comes on clouds
and Jesus Christ will come in clouds of glory
never to be hid from us again
And that city then will need no lights
for Christ in all His glory will be its Light
And yet for now
we two observers
my cat and I
will watch this plane fly past
and I will go and make some tea.
And here the moonlight comes again
as bright as ever
shining through the clouds
brighter and bigger than before
reflecting its light off the clouds
and beaming through them
spreading all across the sky
Alleluia
Amen

@SaskiaKC really good to hear you are getting on that guitar again, some great numbers you are playing, do keep it up. I can get through Little Red Rooster, just about, bending the notes to get that blues sound, with the odd wrong note. Harmonicas are very confusing, Little Red Rooster is in the key of G so Blues Chords are G C and D but I have to use an harmonica in the key of C, this is a big learning curve and could get expensive as you need different harmonicas for music in different keys.
MRs Mc and myself are like @Ryhia and could not get on with a memory foam mattress. We went for pocket sprung both of different firmness joined together on a super king base. See if you can try it out, here in the U.K it is possible to have a mattress for weeks sleep on it and send it back if not suitable.
@trick60 great work, can I be put on your jobs to be done list after you have built @SaskiaKC bed, Mrs MC can find you lots too fix.
Just the same, she is my youngest.

I love this, so springlike @Muddy CyclistWent walking in some Snow Drop Woods with Granddaughter and on return she asked me to show her how to paint them, she just looked on. A5 size, Watercolour, Snow drops were masked out with masking fluid before we started, dried with hair dryer for speed. 35 minutes to complete. Brushes used shown, two of them are masking fluid brushes. Now back from oldest granddaughters birthday party, fun and games and birthday cake! Yet 5.7 from old Dracula so fingers crossed for low Morning reading.

yep, saves messing up more expensive Watercolour brushes and they are easier to clean.I didn't know you could buy masking fluid brushes.
We had a memory foam mattress. After a while it remembered where we sleep and got big hollows. Was horribly expensive and we had to replace it in about two years. I don't recommend them.Wow impressive!

Edited to add
We loved it at first, it was winter and we noticed being warmer. Not so happy in summer.
Maybe we were unlucky, or bought the wrong brand. It was tremedously warm. Too warm. Ofc not all will be the same.
