Just a little bit done for WOYWW

I haven't really done much on my desk this week

for WOYWW.

After last weeks fun with taps and

flooding bathrooms, it has been quit sedate.

I actually took my drawing table on wheels

out into the family room and 

did a little to my ginger picture.

That way I could natter to my visitor from England

and draw at the same time.

This is where I put it when I had finished for the day.

That was yesterday, 

we went shopping, 

spent too much 

and had cake today :)

Here is a scanned in copy of the still unfinished ginger, using my new printer.

This is about my twentieth attempt to scan.

I just can't get the hang of it, there are so many choices

and half of the buttons I've never heard of, so I just

pressed everything until I got a reasonable picture.

This so called easy to operate Canon printer, 

wasn't made for blondes,

that's for sure.

It goes over two pages of my journal and that is

why there is a grey blobby bit in the middle.

Plus I had my hand on it when the paint was wet 

and I splodged it across the white bit

(That's pretty standard for me, 

a natural born grot).

I have a little more to add to the saga of the bathroom taps and flooding

(see last weeks post for the first instalment).

I take my parents grocery shopping each week

and this week I took my English visitor (Angie)

with us. 

 When we took my parents home

we helped to carry the groceries up stairs and my mum

jokingly said that Angie shouldn't come up or her taps might break.

You wouldn't belive it but late that afternoon I got a call from my mum

and she had come home after going out for lunch and heard water running.

When she went to the bathroom the tap was running and wouldn't turn off.

They had to replace their taps too!

When the plumber came to fix my taps, I offered to rent Angie out

to other customers to try and drum up business for him.

I think he is seriously considering it! 

On a more sedate level, my last photo is of my 

fantastic water colour paper pad, it is huge.

I can't wait to have a play with it. I plan to cut it up into usable pieces

and maybe do the odd big picture.

My sweet Angie has to go home to England next tuesday

so I guess I will be back to drawing again

later next week.

I will miss her dearly and of course

I will miss the cake that we have been eating

constantly.

Have a great week

and I may start blogging

more after next week.
