Can you believe it - it's hot, so hot that I can't sit outside! I finally managed to finish a watercolour painting that I am reasonably happy about.
It's taken me a while because I was not really happy with the colour combinations.
I've continued painting outside in the mornings, but still having a bit of a problem getting the gouache to the "sticky" stage. Sometimes just about ok, and other times not. I went to the esplanade in the hopes of painting the beach, but low and behold, the tide was in.
Meryel and I haven't been able to sort out our new venue, because unfortunately she's been unwell. Perhaps next week.
I also heard from a good friend in Downham Market, that her poor cat has died. Both Bertie and Kebi got on really well and it was fun seeing them try and work each other out - usually by staring! Still miss Bertie.
Henry and Muffin do not like the heat, and make it very clear that they want to stay in the cool. We haven't been out on the boat yet, because Perry has been fixing the car. Hopefully we will get out next week, assuming the wind is not going to blow too hard!
