Thanks for the comments and emails about my little videos and concern for my bites! I've been laid a bit low today as I didn't get to sleep till after 5.30am due to the most awful heartburn I've ever experienced - not sure if it was caused by one of the tablets, but it was gone by the time I got up thank goodness. That combined with an eye that looks as if I've been punched in the face has made for a less than productive day! Have you ever noticed that the postman always comes late in the day except on a day when you need a bit of a lie in and then they turn up really early with a packet and have to ring the bell? I'm just saying.
No more bites yet though...I spotted two mosquitoes in the bedroom last night and, well, let's just say that with those and the slugs, I will be losing my claim as someone who can never harm a living thing!
Anyway, I have half completed a project that I'll finish tomorrow and I've also made another video, this one using metallic film and alcohol inks. I used the new tripod but I have to confess that the one I'm sharing is about the seventh go! The first take seemed perfect until I checked the camera and realised that I'd somehow managed to turn it off immediately after turning it on! The remaining ones were either me showing things out of shot, forgetting what the simplest of things were called or losing the power of speech completely! So, please ignore the odd hesitation as I tried to engage my brain before opening my mouth!
I've now added a link straight to my You Tube channel that you can find near the top of my sidebar on the left.
I've spent the rest of the day cat napping on the sofa (with my two cats napping nearby of course!) trying to catch up on last night. It's been another rainy day mixed with a few tiny outbreaks of sunshine so I've been looking at the garden in despair again realising that the weeds are winning once more and I'll have to re dig quite a few patches before I can crack on with them. Not today though. Enjoy the rest of the rainy bank holiday everyone.
PS having just got permission from Heather, I'm adding another video clip of us yesterday morning. Thomas is obsessed with stick treats and when Heather comes round he knows that one is coming his way. Thought you might like to see how he reacts! My brother in law always complains that when Heather and I get together we are too noisy and, having watched this back, we can now understand why, so you've been warned! Oh and sorry, but I didn't twig that I was holding the camera sideways and wouldn't be able to rotate the video clip! So, unless I figure that out you'll have to watch it sideways!!! I'll learn.
