Time for a Refreshing Change

After all the detailed work on the portrait it's great to be able to let loose on this big canvas. Chester is a city very close to my heart and I love painting it.

I'm off there tomorrow on a girly shopping trip, not forgetting the spooky Halloween night I've got lined up for Sunday.

Speaking of the Halloween show, Richard was on 106.3 Dee FM this morning, playing mind games on the presenters and plugging his show. He came across really well on the radio.

Memories

I've been for a great walk this morning. Part of it was along the River Weaver where I used to row for Northwich Rowing Club. It brought back loads of memories especially when a couple of scullers paddled past. I really miss it, but it takes up sooo much time and you can forget your weekend lie-ins. Rowing is a lifestyle. Practically every summer weekend is spent in a tent somewhere else in the country. It was great at the time and I made some fantastic friends (and met some absolute witches!) but I don't think I could do it now. No, my rowing days are over, for the moment anyway.



I'm supposed to be playing squash tonight against my friend C. The last time I played I couldn't walk for a week because my foot skidded across the floor and my body refused to follow. She is probably going to annihilate me.
