Wow, you've a good memory.

No, and it is still hanging half finished in the dining room making me feel guilty.

That's no excuse, now come on get it finished.

I'm just as bad. I've a couple of outdoor sketches I need to use to produce some big A1,A2 paintings.
Promised myself I would start yesterday afternoon, instead fell asleep in front of the fire.

82 pages according to the PDF Aggregator: they can print them off themselves.

If the EA really p*ss*s me off I'll send it by email...

Individually?

I hadn't thought of that...

Mwahahaaaa...

I'm thinking I may need to change to a more manageable subject: I have one on he opposite wall of a fishing boat being repaired, and I'd like them to at least vaguely match.

There's a tabby Tom-Cat 'scent marking' in the garden, 'Lord Fluffington' won't be very happy once he discovers this.

Boats can be tricky to draw and paint. I like boats and enjoy drawing / painting them.
Remember the old rule paint something you enjoy or have an interest in.

I've no interest in still life, indoors or portraits so I don't bother painting them.

My Dad was in the combat infantry in WWII and disliked Veterans' Day Services as well. I go to the early service (Anglican/Episcopalian) and I'm out in 45 minutes or so.

Bishop visited.
1 hour, no confirmands at the early service, but three at the later service.
And some sort of bell choir from the home school.
I assisted at the early mass and was grocery shopping by the time second mass started.

We always kept a supply of smaller/larger plugs and screws ready for that eventuality. One trick I learned was to immediately put a smaller plug or matchstick in the rotating plug, and them put the screw in. It that failed we'd try a bigger plug.

I pulled the plug out and stuffed some polyester resin body filler in the hole before replacing the plug. Once set, I tried the screw again.

I have kept the drafting pencils near in case I start a water color. I have not, so far, but I may soon do so.

Not that one but something similar that's supposed to expand onto the back face of the plasterboard.

Edit: One of these jobbies...

I've had to purchase a new ball of string, from Wilko (60p), as we were down to our last 18" on the old ball!
