I really enjoy sitting outside drinking coffee in the mornings.  My flowers won’t always look as gorgeous  as they do now so I’m making the most of this period. And as I decided that thoughts before coffee are not valid that helps too.

It’s not as if I’m a great gardener. I water the plants and when I can get a help I buy some compost and top up the pots. I’ve got more strawberries coming. Yumm! And if I want I could have mint in ice cold water .

This morning I finally cancelled the standing order for printer ink after not having received any for about 2 years. Not before time.!

I was organised for mural painting by 9am so had plenty time to finish the local scene I’ve been working on.

After 2 episodes of Portrait Artist of the Year it was time for a short siesta.

While waiting for a lift to work I got quite enthusiastic about some of the shapes around. I’m always looking for something new to paint…or a new way of seeing things.

This afternoons task was to paint a view through a window.

When I got home tonight I changed into my new not very impressive lightweight dungarees. (That should guarantee that I get no visitors😂 )

I’m making the most of these as I was a bit disappointed when they arrived . They’re much thinner than I thought and virtually see through. I suppose you get what you pay for.

However I’ve decided to wear them at home and the fact that they’re really thin is a bonus. I think they might be improved with a few dabs of paint and they are extremely comfy. In fact I’m finding them quite satisfactory.

Now I’m very happy to be sitting here with a glass of wine.

Cheers🍷🍷
