Pinch, Punch, First Day Of The Month. No Returns!

Weatherwise it's been a beautiful day. March certainly came in like a lamb. I'm hoping it won't go out like a lion!

I have been outside all day demolishing my old studio. It is a slow job because I am trying to recycle as much of it as possible to use on my ramshackle gallery. What hard work it has been though. Not so long ago I'd have done it in a day. These days I just think, what's the hurry?

This is the latest state of play with the demolition. Nearly there. Some parts were so rotten that they had to go.

I love having a bonfire. Frowned upon these days I know, but what the hell. There wasn't much wind and no neighbours on that side to upset. Anyway I waited till dark and set it alight. You can blame me for global warming.  

Sadie the German Shepherd didn't look at all pleased to see the studio coming down. She is very set in her ways and really doesn't approve of change.

Here is a photo of me in the firelight. I have included this for the ladies, and of course, any men who might be that way inclined. I do not want to be seen as politically incorrect! My goodness! How times have changed in my lifetime.

I like this photo. Obviously, that is why I have included it. The firelight hides a lot. Actually I might try and turn this into an oil painting. I am certain that lots of women will rush to buy it. Perhaps I had better make it a limited edition print. Don't worry I will print enough. I would hate to disappoint anyone!

I hope you have had a nice, first day of the month.
