This is from my drawing class this evening, you can't beat drawing with a bit of charcoal on the end of a
long stick, can you?

#068 Apple Cake
This is a favourite recipe that has gone wrong the last couple of times we have made it. This time was one of the best.

#067 Odd Post
This very unusual Cotswold stone 'post' was in the middle of a field near Hayles Abbey. I assume it had something to do with the Abbey once upon a time, but who knows??? Not us because the ruined Abbey is closed on Sunday's!

#063 Winsor and Newton Easel
I had a great painty afternoon with Simeon, the man from Windsor and Newton, and our students today so I felt it only right to paint a W&N product for today's 'daily'. This on of our good old easels, they really don't make 'em like that anymore.

#060 Wheelbarrow
First trip to the allotment of the year this morning where we created this massive pile of ummm, chicken derived composting material, then put the wheelbarrow on top of it.

#059 View from Dundry
We attended potato day at Dundry nurseries just outside Cheltenham today,which is turning into a bit of a tradition. We now have our potatoes for the year: Casablanca and Anya. This is the view from the car park complete with GCHQ peeking over the hill to he right.

#055 View from Leckhampton Hill
I went for a brisk and frosty morning walk today up Leckhampton hill. Coming, as I do, from Norfolk I consider the hills around Cheltenham as mountains. But I have slowly got used to the ascent as my mountain legs develop.

#054 Shed
In case you were wondering this is my shed, well one of them, there is another at the allotment but this one is much better. Mostly because it has an orange door. For some reason it was also what I was thinking about through my root canal this morning, very diverting things, sheds.

#053 Belas Knap
Went beyond the confines of my house, the dentists, the doctors, the supermarket and the chiropractor this morning. For a bracing walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic long barrow. I do like a long barrow.

#052 New Sketchbook
If I remember later on in the year I will do another digi painting of this after I've been using it for a bit. But in the meantime I am enjoying the pristine,empty, freshness of it, actually I'm a bit frightened of it. Help. I'm just going to scribble something on the first page to get over it.

#051 Cup of Tea
I noted how my tea is the same tone as my 'coffee table', then got to wondering why coffee table don't we need to put tea somewhere too?

#050 Sunset
After yesterday's view from the front, well, here is a view from the back of the house. I get about don't I?

#049 View from my house
I love it when the sky goes dark but there is bright, orange almost post apocalyptic sun on the white houses opposite.

#047 Letterbox
Im not talking about my trip to the Dentists chair today, needless to say I have to go again next Monday. Letterboxes look a bit like mouths, a dubious link to my daily day I know!

#046 Blinds
This is a small part of the view from where I have been sitting/sleeping today. Looking forward to my root canal tomorrow morning with this marvellous head cold I have developed.

#041 Lampshade
Dentists should really have more interesting things on their ceilings. This is from my own front room ceiling, you just don't look up enough do you?
On the up side he has finally found why my face has felt like it wanted to explode. I have had a massive hidden abscess at the root of one of my molars with no visible 'entry wound' so has not been picked up before. At least it is better than the other things I was being diagnosed with. Although I now have a deep respect for Cluster Headache and Trigeminal Neuralgia sufferers.
