Bad Bad Week

Lets start with the tractor mower, the head gasket blew in a cloud of blue smoke and oil, then Mrs DIY's Citroen C4 had punchure, that was bad enough to require a new tyre, (not a stock item) so until they get a replacement we are driving on a 'spare'.
Then the hot water jug turned it's toes up so we are reduced to using a kettle on the cook-top, following on, my computer's hard drive took a dive and had to be replaced with the result all the software needed to be reloaded - cannot find the Microsoft activation key so needed to purchase a new version (bum!*/! and other stuff!).
Then to cap it all off on Saturday had a call from my mother to tell me a very dear friend of the family had died...

The Artist...


I've started painting again, it's all very difficult, the initial efforts looking very beginners guide to colouring in. (1st effort attached)
If you don't know what it is, it's water flowing over some rocks in the river, I like trying to create the illusion of looking into water
Still I must persevere? as this is one of the reasons that we built the gallery (garage), at this point in time I feel that the cars would be better off having somewhere to live!
