The dog, a lurcher actually, is Benji a rescue from Greece. I’m going to paint him!
Thanks Amsterdam! Thanks #7vibesjourney, ‘Mirror’ was completely unforgettable! I’ll be back ❤️
Amsterdam a go go very soon, late to depart but I’m travelling solo so no suiting anyone else required!
Celebrating Ollie Somerville, my eldest son, 20 today and planning a weekend with friends. We all love you Ollie, Happy Birthday.

You’re not wrong.. and definitely depends where you’re at. Hard to be the weirdest person in Edinburgh, dared to get close to being when we lived in Ullapool but I’m pretty sure I didn’t manage that either despite my best efforts!
Blessed Samhuinn for this evening for all who celebrate.
Loving my ‘witches of Scotland tartan’ scarf! thanks Mum! #pricklythistle#witchesofscotland
Daisy, dearly loved old rheumy-eyed girl. She had such presence though. Watercolour, painted in 4 hours.

I’m the last person who has read this particular copy.. as the glue on the spine kinda gave up and the first 20 pages, just fell away.. some I used as sketching paper. It’s a very good book, highly recommend everything I’ve read so far by Doug Johnstone…get books, get coffee,you deserve it!

Very much looking forward to Amsterdam and 7 Vibes Journey November 8th, officially on annual leave and planning plenty of reading and … hmmm.. writing, as well as painting I think!

The BC Nurses Union is meeting with MLAs today to talk violence prevention. Violence is horribly common in health care, especially for nurses who deal with patients all day every day.

Loved the Andy Goldsworthy exhibition.. kids were very curious.. days left.. If in Edinburgh, go… if not, come?!
Both? At the same time? 🤣❤️
Friends coming for coffee and cake very soon, dinner at the Laird and Dog later! Thanks for all the lovely treats!
Feeling very grateful for all that I have, all I’ve accomplished and all of the people who’ve supported my growth, my health, my ideas and nurtured me with life to this point in my life. Happily 46 today.
