My plan for today was to finish the painting with the disciples- or at least my part of it.

I spent about 2 hours fixing, mainly, hands. So that they are better …..if not perfect. My favourite parts of this painting are some light green brush marks on the guy furthest left and I love the head of the guy holding a tray of something.

I thought that after a small read. ( Am still on Commissario Brunetti. ) I would paint the faces on my next panel. ( the panels are to be attached  to a feste carriage)

However I got distracted by a table. It’s a folding table that I use as a work bench.

It occurred  to me that maybe I should make it into its folded out version. Not as easy as you might imagine and required four screws to hold it down, otherwise if I lean on one side the other side pops up to meet me. I thought it might take half an hour to do.

As usual moving one thing required several other things to also be moved.

At least it feels solid now.

It means I could theoretically  ask people for lunch as I now have a table. ( and an eclectic collection of chairs) I could use it as a desk to work on…..as well as a work bench.

I’ll probably give it 2 coats of varnish. That should protect it more or less…..and I quite like a used ,battered look.

Poor Fluffy was asleep on my doorstep when I opened the door. She seems very hungry and is getting fat. She can’t possibly be pregnant again!!!

I could be heading off across town to see horses and stuff…..but I’ve no energy. Table ” work” is exhausting. 

I might just watch it on facebook with only a modicum of guilt.

Now a glass of wine is exactly  what is needed.
