Draped in drips...

Lola had a very wet run on the moor this morning.  Not that it bothered her, she was full of the joys!

Alan was hoping to have a swim this afternoon but as ever when the guys come out to fix one problem (they fitted a new pump the other day) a new problem arises.  This time it's a fault with the automatic chlorine dosing.  Luckily David checks the pool levels manually as well as taking an auto reading, so he realised straight away.  They can't come out to fix it till Wednesday so there'll be no swimming for Alan till the end of the week.

Having a random flick through blip the other day I stumbled upon a photograph I really liked and felt inspired to paint.  It was in a journal I am not familiar with so I don't know the blipper, but I plucked up the courage today as his permission to use his photograph as the basis for a painting.  He very kindly said yes so I look forward to maybe starting that tomorrow.  

He also asked to see the finished painting, which I will happily share, but now of course I'm worried I'll make a complete hash of it.  If I'd been clever I would have painted first and if it turned out well, then asked permission.  If it turned out awful, it would have been binned and my blushes spared!  lol!
