Utility ride into town this morning. Bloomin and still haven't quite thawed out though. I did manage to get milk, cheese and breakfast cereal on sticker though.

The garden centre didn't have the work gloves I was looking for - they've cut down their range to make way for their Xmas lines. I do like to support a local independent shop, but it looks like I will be ordering from one internet supplier or other instead.

I have just had a accompanied by a bag of smoky bacon crisps.

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.

That's the thing about watercolour - if you blooper, then the whole painting is pretty much borked. I like watercolours though, as they make me really concentrate on what I'm doing.

On the way back from the smoke frigging bloke on seat behind on the phone the whole journey MORON!!!!!

Where possible I always aim for the 'Quiet' coach to try and avoid such encounters ... not that it always works.

I like leather rigger gloves - bought the ones I have in the small garden centre in Ely. Will be dropping in tomorrow to see if I can get another pair. They're "Town & Country" branded.

If you are an online shopper, they may have them on Ebay?

Full confession: my way to get around this (usually this is when Beautiful Daughter wants to paint with me) is to make a basic shape with blocks of watercolour then line them with ink to add details and texture.

Don't tell anyone though.

Nowt wrong with abstracts. Bet they're better than the ones I've seen for sale and all.

Those are not the gloves I am looking for.

Yes, either full leather or with the mesh backing. The rubber-coated fabric jobbies are about as useful as the proverbial chocolate teapot...

The catch is, I need XS or XXS depending on the brand.
