    That sounds wonderful @Schildpad! I'm glad it helps your mental health. My mum has MS and she has been to a couple of art therapy sessions and loved it. Although she wasn't happy with her first painting 😂

    That sounds painful @Santosha12. Are you sure you'll be ok until tomorrow to see a Dr?

    @Rachel_Scopei hate my art …. it grows on me eventually but i tend to be very critical on myself. i prefer what other people do.. and it is very therapeutic and rewarding to see what other people can do. it takes practice.. i do not practice enough my art in general. people who come to the sessions do it every day. But yes i will keep going. the facilitators are doing collage art. a workshop is maybe coming on printing using linocut.. we are always researching…. i am doing some of the research on ideas for new workshops etc.. . i am at home now. weather is nice but i am tired.. so i will be watching tv… i do really think it helps with the mental health also with the hands etc… mine they get stiff sometimes…so holding pencils etc.. or scissors with cutting stuff helps…

    We're our own worst critics, as they say @Schildpad. Linocut printing is something I'd love to try. I'd love to see your work if you end up doing the workshop. I used to do lots of arts and crafts but since having my daughter I can't find the time. You're right that it helps with mental health so maybe I need to make some time for it. Have a nice rest 😊

    linocut is very difficult.. i will go to that workshop… the person running it was a background in art. unlike myself i am amateur artist , and a bad one.… it will be done on stages… cut a bit, print, cut more print..and applying the paint in places… i hope to learn. as i end up cutting the part i am not suppose to……

    anyway. getting tired with the same stuff on television… i might just check a film until 9 pm.. there is a film i had in mind.. but i really should get netflix… or something else.. so repetitive.

    Good morning.

    I managed to sleep until 4.40 am and I feel so much better for it.

    We have sunshine forecast here today and I'm going to look around some shops.

    I really need some new clothes and I have to do a bit of grocery shopping.

    I hope you all manage to have a good day.

    Unfortunately Royal Mail are notoriously bad for losing important documents, this is why it's always better, if possible, to email them to whoever needs the documents.

    I remember a few years back, we applied to the local Council for a blue badge, however because like I said, I don't trust the local Postal service not to lose documents, we were sending copies and not the original paper documents, which were refused/sent back by the Council.

    Also, it's happened the last 4 out of 5 times I've sold anything on eBay, that I've sent off the items to the buyers, and they've gone walkies in the Post, and I end up having to refund the buyers rather than get negative feedback for something that wasn't directly my fault.

    I do hope it gets to the dwp

    I went out today but I didn't feel well due to tiredness and medication side effects so I had to come home a rest on my sofa.

    Hoping for a better day tomorrow as we have sunshine forecast again.

    Good night all.

    Take care.

    Good morning

    I did manage a few hours sleep last night.

    I have just completed an e- consult form for my Doctor re: medication side effects.

    We have sun forecast here today and its already looking nice outside.

    I am looking forward to watching the Peaky blinders film on Netflix tonight.

    I hope you all manage to have a good day.

    Morning all,

    Glad to hear there’s sun in some parts. The weather can’t seem to make its mind up here this week. We had brilliant blue skies yesterday and now it’s back to clouds and a chilly breeze. I optimistically put shorts on this morning, but it’s safe to say I’ve had to change into something warmer now.

    Does anyone have any good plans for the weekend?
