I've spent the morning painting

And it was lovely.

 In spite of the rain outside - it was warm in my studio.

I had coffee and Shawn Phillips on the radio.

And I miss my parents something awful today.

Son#1 and #2 have gone to the Efteling on a school trip.

I hope they're warm enough - especially Son#2 who was too obstinate to put on a proper jacket on this 15-degree-summer's-day.

And I didn't have a fight in me this morning.
