We are now in our third week of "lockdown".  Bit tedious.  Wish we could actually go somewhere, which wasn't just a walk with the dog or get in supplies.  And of course the weather has been glorious.  Couldn't get the boat lifted out for it's annual bottom scrubbing, everything is closed.  Perry is getting pretty bored! I've been carrying on with the oil sketches.  Started off ok and even got a little better, but now I think it's got a bit boring.  Need to concentrate a little harder.
Ive divided the oil paper up into quarters so it's a bit more like doing an oil sketch.   First four days.

Next four days, some bits were a little better.

Next four days.  Some improvement here and there.

And another bunch of days.  This time I think we are going backwards.  Difficult on oil paper because it really does absorb the paint.
Despite all, we will carry on.  Perry cut Bertie's hair this morning as he's getting a bit hot.  As we will be confined to quarters Perry will have a few weeks to work on this project!

I've done quite a bit of cooking, and yesterday we had instant banoffee pie! Not the best for our health.  Although I have made some soup which clears my conscience.

Well stay safe everyone (or Perry because I am sure he's the only one who reads this, and that only when I tell him).
