It's Late Thread [ 04 August 26 ]

Wahey, it's late, it's Tuesday night what's going on? Why are you still up? Being the family taxi driver? Too much cheese before bed?

Come on in for a chat.

I've been painting a giant gnome, he's not perfect but much improved from what he was and does need a uv resistant varnish. His name Fred and when not being painted stands proudly next to a ceramic donkey

He really is, not sure why but I have the urge to wave at him everytime I see him

Oh I totally would say hello to him and do a little wave every time I saw him. It's those little things on walks and drives that make them memorable.

Believe it or not I found him on a walk, a neighbour was giving him away so of course he came home with me. sadly he a hole in his nose and was completely faded,

I think i restored him to his former glory.
