Thanks @geefullgood evening all
4.4 today
mr gee got his wish, it piddled down most of the day fortunately it didn't bother us since we were inside the big shed
the wind is getting up outside and it's getting chilly this evening, it's been a bit of a dud day for the caravan dwellers I'm afraid. There were quite a few walking their dogs on the beach when we went out this morning to do our volunteer stint, all wrapped up in waterproofs
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@ianpspurs - I'll take the ACV under advisement, I'll get some when we next go shopping and have a go at making some LC-ish chutney, haven't decided what type yet
@Muddy Cyclist - Powis Castle looks lovely, and that yew hedge is amazing
@dunelm - nice loose foliage, you've managed a fine effect with a few strokes
@gennepher - we're lucky here then, all our shops still have sanitiser and masks are still mandatory, the case numbers are shooting up again so you would think that sensible care would still be the order of the day
I still carry wipes and hand sanitiser myself though and I don't see myself going unmasked indoors any time soon.
Popeye looks very zen sitting there in your mysterious landscape watching the flow of the universe
art bit - was trying to get a bit of colour into the foreground, the starch sized Hahnemuhle paper doesn't absorb colour quite the same way as the Fabriano or the Bockingford, it's not bad, just different

I used to read the Eagle comic (Dan Dare) when I could borrow one/some @Muddy CyclistI am 1949 vintage and yes I was an avid reader of The Eagle and The Topper. Then once a year Santa delivered The Giles Annual, I have a complete set of Giles and they still give me a laugh.
I like the strong colour in this landscape and Hi Popeye.Fbg 6.7

Popeye says hi...
He is on my lap purring, happy for me to use the iPad...
Have a good day...

Dan Dare and the MekonCan any of you guys remember the Eagle comic and Dan Dare and his side kick, Digby and their trips to Venus and meeting the aliens?
Your probably all too young to remember the warlike Treens?

Thank you @geefull and congratulations to mr gee for not having to water the garden. I like the way that you have juxtaposed the dark far shore with the snow topped mountain in the background and those splendid blue wavesgood evening all

Smashing bath tub pond - add some water and they will come.Good Morning and 6.1 for me today. Cheese Omelette and Salad last night so expected lower.
All family around for a meal tonight and a treasure hunt demanded followed by a game of Dixit, a board game which they all love playing. Treasure hunt will include some need to write a two line rhyming poem for each clue found in the garden so I hope the rain holds off. So Mrs MC and I look like being busy.
Remember earlier in the year we started a pond in a galavanised bath tub. Well it worked, flowers, frogs and some sort of Larva swimming around, birds also bath in it.

Thanks @Muddy CyclistI like the strong colour in this landscape and Hi Popeye.
Not seen the back copies @dogslife but remember well the originals and they were almost engineering drawings and were far more detailed than any seen elsewhere.Hello@lindisfel. Have you seen the back copies of the Eagle comic on disc available from ebay. Such detailed illustrations!
An absolutely brilliant pond @Muddy CyclistGood Morning and 6.1 for me today. Cheese Omelette and Salad last night so expected lower.

Beautiful painting @dunelmGood morning everyone from a decidedly damp start here at our little house on the prairie
The wonder wheel of antipasti overload together with something from New Zealand, sitting in the warmth of the evening on our balcony last night rocked in at 5.2 this am
A marvelous day yesterday, every duck and goose in the park had to be acknowledged, all swings tested and the group of stone penguins on the promenade had each to be patted and spoken to before a walk down the beach. Strange looks from onlookers so good job we had an infant in tow to explain.
Oh no! Can’t believe that bungling Useless Handblob is canoodling in sight of his Damien Hurst snap of Mrs Queen - surely he is frantically searching for the missing 600 million lateral flow tests amongst the detritus on his desk - “trace” - look it up in your colouring book.
Hornbill (I think) on some hawthorn today - procreate - didn’t bring any art materials with me. Have a great day, don’t book that green list holiday just yet - enjoy your garden - must have koffy.
