Hi, nice work, as for your day, wow that's one hell o' s**t day.Thanks chaps
More of a response that I expected!
If today had been scripted by Michael McIntyre, it couldn't have been any more comic or tragic!
At 6am I found the cat flap smashed into pieces, local wanders must have been partying and it got out of hand! £22 for another flap!
Started painting.
At 08:15 called Dr's for a simple medication review, told they'll call back before 1pm.
Kept pottering with the paint and it's getting going, at 10:26 Hermes have delivered a parcel, E-mail photo of hand pushing a parcel through someone else's letter box!
Mine is black, the photo was of a gold flap!
After 15 minutes on the Hermes web site, no number to call them, so I tried the web chat out of desperation.
That's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
They asked me, if I knew where the agent had posted my parcel??
Could I check all the houses on the street??
NO, call the b!00dy courier!
Finally, we will get back to you in the next 28 hours!
Then the Dr ran back, god bless new young over zealous fresh Dr's
No, can't have the lidocaine patch as your surgeon hasn't advised us that you need your other knee replacing!
I'll prescribe you paracetamol,
I'm currently on 120mgs of cocodamol a day!
Oh no, we'll have to stop that!
WTF!
That conversation ended unhappily.
Sort of lost the motivation to paint after my follow up call to British Airways and my lost 500,000 air miles!
How can so many people, create so much confusion, with no real effort at all.

The head and body are started but I needed a bigger palette, a larger rectangular lid from gogonzola rather than the smaller. 450g yogurt lid.
Here they are anyway, work in progress,
I am seriously a really chaotic painter

Firstly apologies Steve for missing this , so the customary read through from the start.
Brilliant work for someone who hasn't painted a figure for that length of time,love the uniform work ,and the Buddha in the back ground will look after you .
Very tidy looking bench , how do you people keep it like it ?
What a start to the day part was the thing that would make most people just go back to bed and start again.I had to laugh at your description of the Fedex attempted delivery.
I had a similar evening yesterday, in am attempt to pay my SA tax I went on line, filled in all the information, entered all my debit card stuff and was promptly told by Visa my address was wrong. Of course at this point in the proceedings I lost it.
Bloody bank I shouted, we've lived here for 47 years.
, Mrs Race was soon on the scene, " they can't hear you , but I can ! "
Needless to say at this point before I was injured I gave up, this morning having spoken to the bank all is well. NO one knows why this happened.
