And it has turned out to be quite a satisfactory week so far.

After being worried about 3 things,

1. I am getting on okay so far with mural and the client likes it .

2. The project I was worried about is on hold . I contacted the person in charge and we will sort something out next week.

3. I finally found out what the mystery project was by accidentally meeting the guy and asking him. It sounds good fun.( assuming I understood well enough.)

And this morning there was no sound on my laptop so while checking out the options incase it was wrecked I discovered that a good cheaper option for an Ipad is a kindle fire . And while looking for bigger kindle fires just out of curiosity I found an affordable Chinese option that might do very well if all my current things break

I took my laptop to the shop to get it fixed. ( I forgot my mask and had to go half the way back again) and when I got there the guy turned it on and it worked.!!! I tried lots of things this morning but didn’t try turning it completely off. He did offer me a new hard drive for €80 to speed it up but it’s normally fast enough for me and the chinese tablet was only €112 I think on amazon . And though I don’t plan to buy it I like to know I have options. ( its made by YESTEL…..never heard of the company but had 4 goodwhatsits and up to 128 storage thingies. )

So I am back home and I think I must be getting fitter. It is a little like coming out of a strange hibernation.

My plan is to paint the rest of the leaves on my mural and then the flowers tomorrow.

Oh and I even had time (and energy ) to do another portrait on my kindle fire ( its now decided it will send emails again.) My aim was to see if I could make myself look a bit more cheerful. It was a failure in that respect. But at least I tried.

Now I am late for wine time so better get to it. …🍷🍷🍷
