Digital finger painting. Prompt was misty. Drawn in the Artrage app. I decided to draw a grey landscape. I used various pens in the app to get the softness.

I wrote the words the right way up to make it easier for you. I think I first decided to learn to read upside down at school. I was in class and wanted to read what my teacher had written about me… I was around 9 or 10 and I guess, nosy!
Is this something anyone else has done? I also used to write my name forwards with my right hand and backwards at the same time with my left, mirroring the right hand script.
I also learned the Greek alphabet from my dictionary on one occasion. It was just something interesting to do…
It’s funny how memories suddenly wake up in your mind, I don’t know why this stuck…..
I could just eat a crumpet…
Holey wonderful food. Bubbles rise through doughy flesh. Toast on both sides. The bottom is solid, the top is covered in tiny holes that look like the streams of bubbles that rise up in champagne or lemonade.
Make sure you get them nice and hot and spread butter on the top so it drizzle through, forming puddles on your plate. People eat them with jam or marmite hazelnut spread, cheese, honey… But I prefer just butter. Sometimes it drips down your sleeve!
An Orb
An orb shone in the sky today.
For once it wasn’t a cold grey day
I think it was a star or nova
As in the blue it seemed to hover.
It couldn’t be real,
It was surreal.
Someone said, now build a boat
The rain will come again…
No doubt!
March 1st
Soon there will be tulips
Now there are snowdrops,
Daffodils emerge
Life comes back
Despite the winter
Earth renews
The circle of life rotates
Finds new ways to escape
From the grim greys
The dark days
The light plays
And lifts my spirits.
Flowering cactus
My Christmas cactuses have finally bloomed in February. The could almost be described as Easter Cactii. The whole windowsill is covered with the. Probably not the best idea if I over water them. I also have orchids. On another sill, but they afe going brown and crispy. I nerd to remember to water them.
Christmas cactus
My kitchen windowsill is covered with Christmas cactuses. I underwater them before the festive season so they are only just starting to grow individual flowers instead of lots of them.
Some of there were cuttings from my Grandmother’s plants from about 1996….? It’s amazing how they have such longevity .
Moss
Outside in the cold, I saw this moss on branches. The weather has been so wet this winter that I feel like I will see a fully formed Ark on the top of the local hill!
I love the acid green of the moss. And the reddish purples of the leaves on the ground. I wish the depth of field was less so the background was more blurred, but my mobile phone automatically seems to give the same values for foreground and background. There is probably a way of changing settings? I don’t know how?
I’ve got a soggy nose
Atishoo
Tissue time!
I’ve got a runny nose
Soggy and boggy
Dripping like a tap
An open faucet
Breath limited
To one nostril
Ugh
Yuk
Mucus
Snot!
Button bowl
My friend made this 8 years ago. The buttons were placed in a bowl and glued in place with PVA adhesive. It’s clear plastic spaces have now turned white over time. A few buttons broke off the edge of it but it’s still substantially the same.
It’s in the bathroom near the window but it’s managed to last all these years. I wonder how much longer it will be around, I might give it to another friend to use as a source of buttons if it starts to deteriorate. Only time will tell.
