    I can do matchstick ladies as well - as long as they're wearing A line skirts :D.

    Lovely picture FS, you're very talented :).

    Had another go today and re-did the painting I wasn't so happy with. The results are below - the top one is a Broken-belted Bumblebee and the bottom a Heath Bumblebee. Want to work a bit more on the wings but am getting happier with each one I try. Thank you for all your kind comments. I've got a long way to go but who could fail with all this encouragement :) Am definitely going to put these up on the wall now.

    Spent this morning arranging diaries, replying to invites and reviewing the alarm specification and quotes.

    Went over to across-the-lane neighbour for supper tonight - Roast Pork. It was a thank you for Mr F servicing their car and very nice it was too. We took a contribution of a couple of bottles of wine, a Garlic and Mashed Potato Bake and a Banoffee Mess. Didn't stay too long as they were recovering from a wild night out and it is a school night after all.

    What do you think of the new Dr then? I quite like him.

    Hope you all had a wonderful weekend
