It’s been a rather eventful week for us. Here’s my desk, where we’ve started winter cornucopia paintings with collage.
Here are our collected squirrels. 
They all have such different characters!
Still, working under a blanket has been useful this week, as our hot water and central heating boiler died on Saturday morning. It was fixed on Monday (broken circuit board) and broke again Tuesday morning. The engineer has just been here again and this time it was a lead disconnected. 
We had a lovely time and the food at Let’s Amore was excellent, especially their caponata and cannolis.😋. Svitlana and I have said we’ll go on a literary trip together to Paris at some point, visiting where Hemingway et al wrote, drank etc. It will of course feature my favourite Shakespeare and company bookshop, where Sylvia Beech supported Joyce, Hemingway, Fitzgerald et al. 
My chevron blanket feels never-ending as it seems to get even longer as I’m trying to match all the strips to the same length, under Bella’s supervision, of course. She sends you all purrs.
One highlight of the week was having dinner at our excellent local Sicilian restaurant with our friend Pascal and his Ukrainian girlfriend, Svitlana. They went to London on Sunday for a short break.
Svitlana had baked us beautiful Ukrainian biscuits, and brought us Ukrainian chocolates. .
And finally…
I’ll be round after art class so put the kettle on 😸.

I really love the squirrel pics. All so different but all seem to show the cheeky character of the animals. Well done to all.

What a complete pain about your boiler, especially failing the second time! Finger crossed that it’s all sorted now, why do these things always happen in the run up to Christmas?! Our chimney seems to be holding up through all the rain and wind so hopefully that’s sorted now.
Loved seeing all the squirrels, they definitely all had character! The cornucopia is fun, enjoy painting that one. The funnies made me laugh too especially the 20 lashes!!

I loved those funnies Lynne - you always find a few good ones! I have squirrel envy - I used to draw and paint them as a child as they were such engaging little creatures. Well done to all in your group. x x Jo 🌈
Super paintings, your class is great. Hugs Bj#13
Gosh, I'm so pleased that your boiler man was a quick responder, did Brian even have time to crochet himself a blanket to work under?! Being cold is so miserable, and makes you vulnerable so am glad to hear its all mended. The squirrel montage is amazing, they look as though you've photographed a set of cards! Lovely cheeky faces! Im in admiration over the cornucopia project, what a great idea to collage half, very much look forward to seeing it!
