How about a little chit chat thread?

I think they are cleaning the area now. Actually I'm not sure what they are doing with those trucks with water coming out of them.

They are watering the arena. Keeps down dust, helps set the footing for the next class.
 

Good Morning All from a dull, chilly. Hampshire.
I feel like a bit of a chat this morning to cheer me up as I have not been too good for a few days. I got my watercolour paint box out yesterday and found it hard to get started again but will have another go today.
I do like to take a walk first thing in the mornings but for a few days I have been stuck indoors.
Hope everyone is in fine fettle this morning and full of beans.
Off for a little walk now so till later.
Look after yourselves.

Lovely and sunny up here in South Cumbria which is great as I'm off out for the day with youngest son and grandson. We're catching the train to a nature reserve to do a bit of walking and bird spotting.
 
Off for a walk myself as soon as the sun comes up. Don't want to run into a coyote in the dark.


Thats one of the most reassuring aspects of living in the UK. No matter where you are and at whatever hour. You are always top of the food chain!
 
No fear of running into a coyote down here. We are in danger of being torn to pieces by a mole or a field mouse however.
It,s starting to warm up now and the sun is trying to break through the cloud.

What kinds of things do you paint? Hope you feel better.
 
Hi Phoenix.
I usually use watercolours. Flowers, Castles and now and then when the mood takes me birds.
I am self taught and do tend to throw away more than I keep much to the annoyance of my children.
I will try and post one for you to look at when I get to know how.
 
I see no on has posted any new "chat".

Here's my day so far Up & at'em early.
Aren't we retired?

Showered ,, headed to see dermatologist this morning.

UGH,, road repairs on the way ,, took back roads to avoid it.
Early to his office,,,but paperwork took time.

Think his nurse told me more about my skin than he did.
Got a spot on forehead zapped /froze.
He looked at my face,, said see me in the Fall & we'll put some creams on it,, sort of like chemo.

(me) >OK??? (gulp)

Left there & treated myself to a cheap pair of summer shoes.
Home & back to the daily grind.

Everyone !!! Wear your sun block,, wide brimmed hats,,please!

This my painting of an old disused oasthouse in winter
 
That is a beautiful painting, Justfred! How big is it in "real life"?

You are seriously talented!

I am waiting for the afternoon horse show session to kick off. Been watching online all week. I feel better now than I did earlier -- bad aches and pains this morning, worse than usual. Now I have a cat sleeping on my lap (probably not good for the aches and pains but very good for my soul). I am trying to get back to work on my current story but hit writer's block earlier this week and just can't get back into the groove. Sigh.
 
I am feeling so much better it's hard to believe I felt so horrible earlier today. I just finished a huge supper -- funny how eating decently can make you feel better. It wasn't even a "nutritious" supper but apparently something my body needed. The kitties ate well too and are now sleeping off their supper.

Funny how little it takes to realize how blessed I am. Relief from pain does it every time! :)
