I have been working on the new painting all day today and it is nearly there. I worked in the garage (door up, of course) and listened to music on the radio as I painted. My nice next-door neighbour Wendy called in to have a look and admire her boat – it was her suggestion – and the handsome pilot came over too. I didn’t have time to go for a cycle ride but I was on my feet all day, and I had a bit of exercise dancing (on my own, when no-one was looking… hopefully).

Actually, I could not have gone cycling anyway because it poured down with rain in the afternoon. It’s my fault that it rained because I watered the garden this morning; I should have remembered that it always rains after I have hosed the plants, if I had, I would have brought the washing in earlier and the sheets would not have had to go into the tumble-drier…
