I decided that as it seemed to be mostly blue skies I decided I would go for a walk. I wore my heavy coat, so if I got caught out I would mostly stay dry ... brilliant, except for half way round the 10mins of wet was hail stones, not rain. So I now have a cold, and sore scalp! Oh well, I shall thaw out.
One of the competitions today for Photocrowd was that of photo manipulation. That is a rare competition, so decided to have a go, and thought I would share the before & after with you for something different -
Shall I point out which was the original, or let you guess!!

So that was a great excuse to stop the spring cleaning I was doing this morning! So what with both of those, as well as some basic shopping I had quite a busy morning. Now I am going to do this and then do some knitting while I watch a DVD ... I have started a re-watch on Blakes 7 . But before I do that I will get the questions done before I switch off the computer for the rest of the weekend -
13. Do you work harder with or without supervision?
With - I can get so easily distracted otherwise
14. Are details more your thing or do you prefer focusing on the big picture?
Depends on what/why/when. Mostly I like the big picture over-view, and sort out the details as I go
Well I think that's me up to date with you all. So will sign off till Monday - Hope you all have a good weekend x

Thursday, March 11th, 2021 02:48 pm... But at least I have tried.
I promised myself I would keep trying to work on banners, and this one is from Star Trek, Voyager

I am having my day off, as I said, however I actually did clean my kitchen surfaces quite thoroughly this morning, so not a full day off after all. I have had a short walk between showers. The wind is cold, so although in theory the temperatures are on the rise, it didn't feel like it. It just started raining again as I arrived back home. While walking I am re-listening to The Dresden Files, so that makes me want to walk further (on normal days!)
Well, more artwork calls, but before I turn off the internet -
11. Where do your friends and family fit in your life? Do you prefer spending time with either group over the other?
Until Mum & Dad died I spent most of my free time with them.
I do love my brothers and spend time (normally) with Brenda, and occasionally Nick & the boys, and get on well with Tim & Claire, but normally they have busy lives.
I have a few friends, but not many. One or two of them I do like spending time with, but a few others I find hard to be with for long times, as years of bullying kicks in and I worry that "the other shoe is going to drop" ... sad, but true
