It was only 25C downstairs this morning and outside it was chilly , but sunny.

I decided that rather than using the washing machine, I’d just soak the small amount of clothes needing washed.

Then after my usual Sunday email I set off to the supermarket. I had to wear another layer and was still a bit chilly in the shadows. I can clearly remember coming home at lunch time from mural painting and carefully keeping to the shadows as it was about 40C .

This morning I found a nice safe place for my solar lights to charge.

I stuck one lamp in the shower room when I went to bed and took the other one upstairs with me. Worked fine. I wonder if it will be enough when the nights are longer.

I worked on my new commission today and enjoyed it. As I plan to add some things which aren’t in the photo I downloaded a photo of the painting as it is and then tried out several options. I can’t believe how easy it is. Now I’m ready to begin again tomorrow.

I found 2 episodes of “Shetland ” yesterday so didn’t have to watch yet another episode of Poirot. I liked the scenery a lot. I’ve never been to Shetland, but I visited Orkney about 40 years ago.

Today I found a new episode of Landscape Artist of the Year and was entertained during lunch. I pretty much agreed with the judges choice of winner. ( But very few of their comments. ) As I’m very fond of ” pretty chocolate box” scenes it’s not really surprising.

Now it’s wine time. Hurray!

Cheers 🍷🍷
