Yet again, just a quick update. Weather has been a bit up and down, but then again I suppose as we approach winter, it is to be expected.  I have been continuing my swimming, and have tried increasing the lengths.  Have managed 46 about three times, but I think it would be better to drop down to 40, because I have been suffering a bit with backache.

Painting is ticking along as usual, with a live workshops each week, either oil or watercolour.  In between I try and do at least one painting.  I have done a couple of outside sessions, but as the weather is a bit dull, it is difficult to get excited.  Perhaps I should have been a little less ambitious.

The very sad news is that Martin has died.  He had been unwell for a while, so although it was not completely unexpected, it was still very sad.  We will miss him.
