5.6 this morning.
Taught my classes back at my local venue yesterday. We all really enjoyed them. Back on Zoom again today for Norwich classes.
Car passed MOT but has a leak in a thingy under the car. Maybe a slave cylinder for the gearbox. Luckily it is under warranty.
Head still not healed so have to wear the dressing again for another week. Hopefully it will have healed by then.
At the moment I feel like I am being buried under an avalanche of Covid-19 forms and email queries from class members. Thank goodness it is half term soon and I can catch up with the other admin stuff.
Thank you for the compliment @ianpspursBTW, Ben the dog is fine, eating and drinking well. We removed the dressing from his poor paw late last evening as his brother, Bill, would have chewed it orff overnight. Amazing artwork from such a tiny device @gennepher. Flob a lob.
Whenever anyone asks me what the range is for my motorcycle, I tell them that I have a 40 minute bladder.
Quite agree. AOB 4 me 'n thee?3 & 4 letter abbreviations perplexing most times, ... O level . NHS , BBC.
Not Stir Crazy, I enjoy seeing how you draw and paint these landscapes.good morning everyone from an angry weather night and a blustery morning here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of “how many chips before the safe word” came in at 6.1 this am so in the self inflicted dog house today.
A bit macabre maybe but here is something that appeared in my latest AFPS (Armed Forces Pension Scheme) Quarterly Digest that I was not aware of. There is a ‘Tell Us Once’ scheme where, upon reporting a death, the service then notifies such agencies as DVLA, Passport Office, HMRC, DWP, local councils. More info at https://www.gov.uk/after-a-death. Might be worth storing away. In other news, my military pension has increased by 0.5%. I expect that this means that I can now afford another item of choice at Poundland.
Free trade offer to Australia - what bright spark came up with that idea. “Yes Minister, we do need to cut down on meat consumption to save the planet, but this particular meat is grown in the Southern Hemisphere and only then is it shipped the 8000 miles up to us.”
2nd Jab day - 1130 and must remember to take some parrots eat ‘em all before we go.
Art today - sticking with rocks and stuff - 7x3 inches - must be getting stir crazy for some - the mind is looking towards the mountains - the body is taking cover and not getting involved. Have a great Saturday, despite the weather. Hope your crossing is not too bad for you @SlimLizzy. Koffy time.

Badger sorted.Well those posts took me awhile!!!
Fbg 6.8
Electric blanket back on.
I have a very long cat under it. He seems to have grown in length.
I have been awake since 2.30 am
His lordship woke me for food.
When I finally woke up, I could not get back to sleep again.
I always have a window open in my bedroom. But there is so much icy cold air coming through it. And it is raining heavily...
My iPad was busy updating. And so I used my tiny Android Pixel screen on my phone to do today's painting in ZenBrush3. I don't know if that Pixel screen is even 2" x 3".
It is too blinking tiny to use, and I did not found it easy, and the painting is clumsy...
And it took much longer to do than doing the same thing on the iPad ZenBrush3
Here is my offering .
And I'm going to join this cat under the electric blanket...
Oh, by the way I may have sorted out the badger problem.
I tipped the contents of the cat tray in his specially dug hidey holes in my garden...
He/she is welcome to use my front garden, but not my back garden...
I might have one more go with the painting in the ZenBrush3 in that tiny Pixel screen, because the first time with anything is finding out where the settings are on a smaller screen…
One clumsy painting coming up....

Thanks @alf_JosiahGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and @gennepher, a special mention because after quite an argument between me and me's over your posting, we gave you a funny for the way you treated your badger problem. Interesting painting.
A self induced 7.0 this morning, sympathy not required, just lots of energy for today's tasks.
@ianpspurs 3 & 4 letter abbreviations perplexing most times, woke and wokeness, not a clue what it means and me and me's have a qualification in intelligence an O level ( failed ). I kept the result slip in my shed.
The NHS are excelling themselves, I received 2 separate appointments for different conditions, one telephonic and one face to face, I am waiting for the appointment for the scan. Their is also more to come.
Next the BBC......hmmm, for many years never trusted and now for me and me's all confidence now lost forever.
Enough ranting from me, calendars to update and other stuff.
Stay safe and have a great day.
Thanks for trying @Muddy CyclistOn yesterday's topic of bags for life, here is the poem I mentioned by Les Barker. I have seen him perform many times at folk shows, he's a very funny and knowledgeable man....
Sorry @gennepher I have not been able to find the words or Ken reading with subtitles.
Thank you very much @Muddy CyclistBadger sorted.
Painting of blossom and sunrise/set very colourful and cheery.
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - jab done - will see how that goes over the next few hours.Not Stir Crazy, I enjoy seeing how you draw and paint these landscapes.
Hope jab causes you no problems.
