 Fortnight after last post, not a lot has happened.  Government has given us a roadmap out of lockdown.  So fingers crossed all goes to plan.  Have continued sketching and practising with watercolours, which has occupied part of the day.  We went out on boat on Sunday to recalibrate the fluxgate compass.  Unfortunately Perry didn't turn the calibration button on so we didn't manage that, but will try again next weekend.  It was nice to go out on the boat even though it was a very dull day.  I the river, the boats looked seriously beaten up by the winter rains. Sad.  Lovely sunny day yesterday, so we had tea and cake on the boat, oops sorry, maintenance of the boat.  That's the only thing you are allowed to do at the moment. However, very gusty.  Roll on spring.

 What have we been doing in lockdown.  Perry has sent a lot of time on the boat sorting the autopilot and some other bits and pieces.  And I've been painting, and painting, and painting...zzzzzz!  We've both now had our vaccinations, but it doesn't look as though things are going to change any time soon.  Long way to go yet.

Not the best photo, but a quick example of some of the stuff I've been doing.  Mainly messing with colours, but keeping up the sketching and watercolour sketching by doing a "virtual sketching trip", using photos of places I've visited in the last three years!  Take care.
