Painting...

Rather cold here...
I threw open the back doors earlier but closed them after about an hour. 

I might be going to look for my heated jacket soon.

My medical suppliers, that come quarterly have just  arrived. I have to leave the gate unlocked so I do not miss him. 
So I inevitably feel stressed when that gate is not locked. He was a nice lad, and again no one rings the doorbell. I said a while ago I had put alarms on all the windows and the doors so that if somebody knocks  then an alarm goes/screams and it reaches my device (I programmed my device to tell me which  window/door is being knocked at, each window door alert has a different sound), and I can respond accordingly...

And then I can respond. So this is the first time this system of mine has been put to the test, as far as I know. He  knocked on the kitchen door so my device alert told me  exactly where to go. The alarm is going off like Billy-o!!!!!

Brilliant, I can do Heath Robinson better than Heath Robinson....

It was also meant to scare away ne'er-do-wells, because of the alarm. And I was hoping it would not scare away genuine callers. So full  marks to the lad who delivered my medical supplies. 

I have just remembered the reason why I put these alarms up was a particular ne'er-do-well who kept knocking at my windows. He was a chancer and I had stopped answering... but it left me very stressed. I think I mentioned it, I am pretty sure I did, that the alarms on the windows had  gone off on the  one day, and when I got there, there was no one there. I'm assuming it was him, and he has never been back since. I had said I was calling the police if he came back, so maybe he thought they were police alarms or something on the windows. 

But I'm glad it did not scare away a genuine caller, that is the lad who delivered my medical supplies!
He was grinning from ear to ear when I opened the kitchen door, and I did not explain why the noise is going off....

I am going to have a well deserved nap in a minute...

Creative....I am waiting for these inks to dry on this rag paper. It is still too damp to draw on. I have an idea for a drawing on it, so It will be tomorrow before I finish this one...I might even turn the painting round... Or I might leave it as it is...

Hot cuppa tea and an afternoon nap now...

Have your best day...
