I was hoping for a
lie-in this morning: I woke about 7am and lay awake for an hour or so before
giving up and getting up.
‘er indoors TM was
off on a mission, so whilst she was out I started off the beer kit I bought
yesterday. In theory it should be ready for Xmas. There was a minor mishap
whilst making the beer: - I managed to lacerate my right thumb on one of the
tins, and it wouldn’t stop bleeding. I bodged it up with kitchen roll and
carried on, but it was all a bit awkward. And with beer made and in the
fermentation bucket I had a go in the garden. I got the leaves raked up, but
doing it all one-handed was a tad tricky. I didn’t even attempt to mow the lawn
with only one non-bleeding hand.
For some reason my hand just kept bleeding
despite being bandaged up. So I had a rather quiet afternoon. I played worms
for a bit, and seeing no blood I went back into the garden, only to set the
bleeding off again. So I got the washing in off of the line (which hadn’t dried) and I got my paints
out. I did a couple of paintings the other week and was quite pleased with one
of them: not quite so chuffed with the other. Today’s painting’s not turned out
too bad really. It’s a shame that photography never seems to do the paintings
justice. I wonder how I might get round that problem?
I enjoy painting: I wonder if I might sell
them? The canvases aren’t too expensive, and the painting takes about an hour
to do. I wonder how much I could realistically charge for one?
If any of my loyal readers would like to give
someone a unique and individual Xmas gift and is stuck for an idea, why not
commission an individual oil painting. Mind you, you’ll have to commission a
landscape. Landscapes is all I can do…
If any of my loyal readers are up for it, why
not drop a line to “Badger Original
Landscapes”. And for those of my
loyal readers whose houses are already graced by a “Badger Original Landscape”, please feel free to write a
testimonial…
I then had a bit of a backup. I copied two
months’ worth of photos to my stand-alone hard drive. Two months’ photos are
over 1Gb worth. That’s a sign of the times.
