What a strange thing to put on a grave

Also often seen on Georgian mourning rings.

Art stuff put away for the evening. I have finally plucked up the courage to do the air restrictor and right rear tyre. It's largely doing the shading from hereon in, though I've still got a few logos to do and do all the shadows underneath the car.

I much prefer using this Langton hot-pressed paper for coloured pencil work as opposed to watercolours, as it's super easy to blend and lift out the pigment compared to my usual choice of Murano. Both made by Daler-Rowney of course. I'll stick to Bockingford for watercolour work, I think.

There's a scent of jasmine drifting in through my window. It's wonderful.

I've just been watching this and giggling. Why can't they make comedy like this anymore? Ok, Bill Bailey does, and he's genius too...

Time for a few miles not many just some

11 miles completed and the difference in traffic being 40 minutes later was amazing.
Beautiful day again
First cuppa brewing

Porridge and blueberries for breakfast this morning 😋

A bright start here, a high of 20° forecast today and warmer still tomorrow and Saturday. Great for ice cream sales but not so good for the livestock at the Royal Highland Show.

First cuppa went down well.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's clear blue skies, sunshine and light winds to start the day.

Coffee has been had after a very good night's sleep. A slightly early start for me as I'm off for lunch just over the border in Norfolk, setting off in about 90 minutes time. Looks like it's going to be a very warm ride so a large bottle of drink has been prepared and the factor 30 sun cream will be applied.

We've got 31C forecast for today and rising. I'd bolt for the coast where it's cooler if I could. But things get in the way.

The local blackbird was at it at 3:40 this morning. He has a sort of tag at the end of his song that's very close to the ''wheeooowhit!'' whistle that we use to get someone's attention. She doesn't appear to be listening. (It's the reverse of the wolf whistle, which goes ''Whit! Wheeoo!'' in my improvised whistling orthography.)

Morning all, clear blues and that big orange orb is doing it's thing.
1st cuppa being consumed.

I wasn't aware alarms could be set that early
