You will be relieved to know that I have now visited an art shop and resolved the Burnt Sienna deficit.

Oh, and I went to an interview...

That's a good ploy ! They will be totally distracted if you placed the paint on the desk during the interview .

I’m still in Bath.

Have you gone all wrinkly yet ?

Cheeky!

Acrylic, I'd imagine?

It's funny, I use a lot of burnt sienna when painting with acrylics, but hardly ever when painting in watercolour.

I use mine mainly for things like rust effects on models. I keep trying to use watercolours but they're scary: you can't just scumble over mistakes and try again.

Fingers crossed for you! (As long as it's the job and company you want!)

Dunno about that as yet. It's a bit strange because the organisation is expanding rapidly, and they need a lot of extra staff, but they aren't really sure what they want to do. I could end up working (with a group of clients with psych or addiction issues) in a bike shop, which strange as it may seem is my favourite option, or they may say we're on a protected production line for a big company which sounds as boring as stirring porridge.

I very nearly spooned marscapone onto my Cornflakes instead of yoghurt, this morning...
Well, the pots do look similar!

That'd be different

There I was, happily blowing leaves, when my blower started varying in speed. Feeling particularly inquisitive I decided to dismantle it. Having finally realised the reason it wouldn't come apart was the screw I'd left in, it came apart neatly. The brush holder has two slots into which the powers supply blade slides. Or should have. Said blade was waving about, hence intermittent power. Searching eventually brought up a site with both brush holder & brush, so duly ordered. A battery powered replacement would have been nice but about five times the cost.

That's a tough call ecologically: Change to eco friendly treehuggy version and add to landfill or repair instead of replacing and use oil? I see the problem.

I use a broom but I have it in mind you do this as a job which is in a very different league...

LOL

I just have received an email saying "thank you for your recent application for a job of blah blah blah". I couldn't remember when I applied for it so did a bit of a search ...

I applied for that job on April. APRIL !!! So 7 months ago is "recently" for that employer.

I replied to email "You must be having a laugh. I applied for this job on April. It's November now."

Still and

I have put our recycling box out this morning.
My wife and I are hoping to go and see Le Man's 66 at the cinema this afternoon. We haven't been to see a film for years, so it should be a bit of an experience, plus the cinema has been done up recently .

 

[Illaveago]

We both enjoyed the film although it was a bit loud.

They heard you were coming, obviously.
