KK this is not a art post but it did make me feel good that my little grey cells still work from to time.
So with out a do here it is! Play the Game
My soko bones Score lvl 20 achiieved whoopeeeee
Definitely enjoying new tastes mmmm! My ring of confidence is going down too! My pants slip on much easier now, no more breathing in, on theyt go no argueing.
We have been going jogging fairly regularly too, that’s getting easier too.
looking forward to tomorrows meals with interest and wonder!
Thanks to all for fine recipes.
OK Beth and I have been eating our greens this past two months.
And I must say its been quite a surprise!
My first thoughts we’re crumbs its lettuce and cabbage time. But I was determined to have a good go at it, for two reasons actually three. One its good for your cholesterol, two its good for the animals that share this planet with us, if we’re not constantly eating them. Imagine what its like to be born and then spend the rest of your life being fed and watered just to be eaten when you reached your optimum size.
Unless of cause you are a spring lamb!
I have a brain and I understand fear, and we know that other animals understand fear too, after all the Gazelle would not flee from the Lion if did not understand fear. The Lion would just saunter up to the Gazelle and say ” look here I’m having a few friends around for dinner this evening I wonder if you would like to come” to which the Gazelle having no fear would say ” but of cause should I bring a friend!”.
This does not happen well apart from in Hollywood style Films.
Three its good for the Planet especially if we buy only organic.
So we have been trying to do this. I must admit my fears were unfounded the recipes are actually quite tasty and textured.
Also the washing up is much easier because your not scraping burnt sticky animal fats of pans afterwards which takes a while sometimes needing soaking over night.
Cooking time is down saving on energy use.
Eating is much more interesting because usually we have not eaten this particular recipe before. It brings adventure back to food, which really had become quite predictable.
Plus my taste buds are being exercised a lot more.
No more salted fatty foods making me wedged to my seat.
Eat your greens? most definately!
Hi, been off lately with the dreaded swine flu. Not that bad really but it is virulent, its given me a tickly chest slight nasal trouble etc..
The usual really, but in response have eaten plenty of Garlic, Lemons, Satsumas, Greens, excellent home cooked food too. No packaged rubbish, don’t know how this would affect older persons.
Major downside I have not been riding Fausto my road bike, real bummer, I walk past Fausto often, lent against the other bikes in the hallway. Soon Fausto, Soon, we will be cruising along the country lanes travelling at ease and enjoying the freedom.
But for now, Hot Lemon and Honey with healthy meals, thanks Beth, my partner and excellent cook, lucky me!
OH P.S. spent today lay in bed watching Harry Potter movies excellent!
If anyone wants their spectacles reapiring, try this, Ocular Reparo (re-PAR-oh)
I was just reading my Sketch group forum and read the post by InkandBrush, and it reminded me of something very important.
Heres the post.

Someone asked me why I did Graphite Drawings..since no one seems interested in Black and white drawings or paintings.
Had to think about it a bit. I guess I draw for a couple of reasons. The challenge is to me, unlike painting with color…it is much harder to the the proper shading in a Graphite drawing. And I just like drawing sometimes as a change.
I do know most people have no interest in Black & White Drawings, no matter how well done.
Paper I am using is hot press, “Aquella Fabriano Artistico Bright White Watercolor Paper”, and the pencils I am using are the “Staedtler Lumograph” graphite pencils.
I do not really need to use the Hot press paper, any good graphite paper will do. But I feel this paper holds up very well and I like the feel of it when the graphite goes on.
Also like my black eraser, blending sticks and this blob of blue stuff from the UK.
My response.

Its important to do it your own way, in Art, when I was art school I was constantly being told by other students how approach something. What style I should be doing, this annoyed quite a lot, they claimed to be modern artist, but all they were doing was following the latest artistic trend, to get them into University and choosing the teachers style, I felt this was very sad, not what art is about for me.
I used to purposely decide at the split second, which style to do a piece in and then change my mind, “I think I’ll do an abstract no an minimalist piece, oh no sod it I’ll do a cartoon pop art instead”, it used get me a good reception, very warm. Funny they never got it, well apart from Dave he just used to grin, he was doing his thing.

Be true to thine self!
All artist and great persons in history have had this same belief, be true to thine self, follow your own star.
If all we do is follow the latest trend then we are just sheep, what we paint, draw, sculpt, perform is up to us and how we do it.
Confucius said “there is one thing that is certain, Change.”
We can follow change or we affect change!
Which one are you, did you do it because everybody else did it, or do you do it because it is what you want to do, and to hell with the rest.
