@gennepher missed your painting today, just found it. Really like this one that bark on your tree is very good, also liked the colours, nice piece.
That's 'Plumpy' officially known as Harry...he belongs (technically) to my neighbour Krystyna but spends a lot of his time with us.What a lovely dog. Glad he recovered quickly. They do love their treats.
Sounds like a really good outing Saskia , so glad you got your drivers licence renewed and well done for challenging yourself with the stairs. You must have been in heaven in the saddlery shop, was the smell the same - All leather and polish?
Mrs MC spent the afternoon cooking tarts with our granddaughter so I snook off to do a watercolour painting, then snook back to be the Nave of Hearts, I'm sure Dracula will see I pay for it later.
So here is my watercolour, A4 took just over one and a half hours not counting the sky drying time. Inspired by all the ploughing on the nearby farm and the sunsets we have been getting in this neck of the woods..

Sadly my fbg has gone up this morning at 4 am
First try 7.6
Second try 6.9
I had nuts for breakfast yesterday.
Before I went out, I was in a rush and had boiled eggs and ate two at midday. I wasn't hungry and hadn't felt like eating.
By the time I got home, and sorted cat etc, it was 6 pm, so it was 5 fish fingers out of the freezer (cooked of course). I still didn't feel hungry, I don't.
Black coffee and tea and a cup of chicory coffee at bedtime. And a tiny packet of pork scratchings.
So, therefore, it must have been the breakfast McMuffin, the day before, which reduced my fbg for yesterday....honest........
Today, the nuts have been eaten for breakfast. I have to use up a packet of sliced meat in the fridge, and some ready to eat salmon, so that is me over next couple of days. No more fish fingers left...but some frozen fish bits...
Anyway, here is my painting contribution for my painting a day challenge to myself...

Hugs if you need them.
Thanks @SaskiaKC Auburn Alabama seems exotic. However this is on a walk we frequently do on Wolseley Estate sadly lost to Lord Wolseley who's family had been there for over 800 years. lord Wolseley was a friendly landowner who would regularly stop and chat to anyone enjoying his land, he had no restrictions and encouraged walkers, horse riders, kids playing in the stream, probably another reason why he went bankrupt, death duties also had not helped. Now access is very restricted to paths and bridleways by the new owners.That is beautiful. It reminds me of "We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land ... "
It also reminds me of Auburn, Alabama, under a spring storm watch. I think this is my favorite of yours so far.

...Rawhide!Head 'em up -- move 'em out!
Thank you for the greys -- my favorite horse color.
good afternoon all
was 5.0 this morning
it's warmer today thankfully, I'm really feeling the cold this last couple of days. Think I'm getting a bit of a cold, I feel ok generally, just have a runny nose and feeling the cold
Last spring I bought a big woolly jumper that comes down to mid thigh level, put it away for the winter and then forgot about it, but I found it yesterday and it's really lovely and warm
lovely watercolour @Muddy Cyclist
Hope your day treats you kindly everyone
...Rawhide!
How vey sweet! Happy Valentines to you and the KC.Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
I hope you find a way through this and get some relief. It sounds really horrible. I dont know if you are a mustard aficionado but it stinks I imagine even with socks! Good luck to Mrs C. Not funny though I hope it helps.Hello
Thank you for this post
Can I ask if the whole of your feet hurt or just the toes?
I understand when you say that you wanted your toes amputated, with me it’s all of my feet to the ankle I keep saying to my doc to chop the bleeders off
Pain varies from stinging nettle sensation, pins and needles, to stabbing or slicing with a sharp knife
I’ll be looking for Colman’s mustard next time in Tesco
Thanks,@DJC3. No obvious signs of white plaques or thrush but the drops are anti-fungal--worth a try as antibacterial mouthwashes haven't helped.
Yes. As soon as we walked in the door.
Thank you for asking.
How is Mr Dennis today? I hope he has recovered from the effects of his cousin's visit yesterday! (Storm Dennis, the relative nobody mentions at the dinner table ... )
@SaskiaKC I am not clever 3nough to post the link but try going on youtube and find Bosch Worcester boilers tv cat advertisement. I love it and I think you might too!
