something new.........

I confess that this is just another 'first' in the long list of firsts that I'm determined to try out 'one of these days'. So here I go! Welcome to 'my page' where I intend to write about everything and anything, just as I'm sure many others here already do. So why add my voice? No doubt you'll have a better answer to that than I do, so I'll leave it for you to tell me!
Its another day in February, nothing special about it other than I've spent all of it so far in bed. Thats with a tissue practically and very nearly constantly stuffed up my nose, cough mixture to hand, paracetamol conveniently close, excessive amounts of cups of tea by my side and Cat curled up by my feet. Whats more I have to go to work later to sort out the 'bits' that other people cant. Perhaps I should'nt go but it'll make my life easier for tomorrow.
Enough with the feeling sorry for myself!! Time to turn another corner, strenthgthen the existing rope and 'Get On With It!'
I'm an aspiring artist and assuming you want to hear this, I'm currently dabbling mainly in watercolours , although pencil and charcoal are quite high on the list as well. I'm told I have a certain amount of natural talent so I've decided to try and climb what feels like a monster of a mountain in order to produce paintings that I consider art. Some of my efforts so far have turned out well and I'm pleased, but most are terrible and not worth remembering or keeping. I do keep all of my efforts but I try not to look at them too often! So in all out of maybe 10 paintings I'll probably only produce one painting that I'm genuinely happy with.
Oh yes and ........
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
