But for the strong winds it would be a lovely day.
It's a cold wind too..

I’m back from the vets. It was sunny out but now it isn’t.

It's overcast, chilly and blowing a hoolie here chez Casa Reynard. Poppy and Lexi aren't interested in going out.

I have put the shoulder of lamb in the crock pot along with onion, rosemary, juniper and an insane amount of garlic. Tatties also bashed for tonight, and there is braised red cabbage too.

I plan on spending the afternoon painting.

Tesco have taken the points off my clubcard, so I should be getting money off vouchers soon.

I've had some dental work done today. 2 hours later I still can't feel half my face, or stop slavering.

To add to the misery of my frozen face. On my way home I went behind a tree for a pee. I stood with my back to the strong swirling wind,but the wind swirled some pee over my pants and shoes!

I have had some lunch; a wholemeal wrap filled with prawns, spinach and those little spicy peppers filled with cream cheese, two and two little tangerines.

Am now waiting for some masking fluid to dry before continuing with my painting.

Current view from the balcony: it's pretending to be good weather, but I don't trust it.

Shouldn't have stood near the tree.

He should have peed downwind...

Anyways, my painting has been put away for the day - bad light stopped play. It's almost finished; I just need to add in the details on the driver's overalls, lift out some paint to create highlights and blur out a few hard edges.

This is the stage that always gives me the wibblies when working with watercolour.

I can understand why professional motorsport artists tend to stick to oils and acrylics, as there's far more margin for error.

He should have peed downwind...

And I should also say, he should have been on Babylon 5, as on B5, there is no wind, up nor down...

I’ve been to bike shop to look at shiny new bikes.

A "like" for the doing bit, but not for the reason why. Still gutted for you xxx

Anything catch your fancy, or are you just weighing options?
