You know what makes me grumpy? All the Grumpy Old Men who appeared on the BBC TV series were younger than me, that's what makes me grumpy. Mutter, mutter....

MONDAY

The weather was fine at first, but it soon clouded over with the inevitable rain not long in coming. I started work on two new paintings, with the forthcoming retrospective at Duff House in mind. The first is of the Banff-registered MFV "Utopia" in a fairly heavy swell, the main thrust of the picture to be in the lighting, which I plan to be fairly dramatic and Turnerish. The other will be of drifters, as yet unidentified, going out past the Bressay Light on their way to the grounds.
Later, I started on the major task of numbering all my available giclee prints in their limited editions - a rather painstaking job, then putting them in sleeves and labelling them ready for the stall at the Toll Clock next Saturday. The first of two consignments of postcards arrived from the printers. This will be another item of interest for the multitudes of people who will, I hope, visit the stall.
