I've done a new acrylic painting, ‘Lily Pond in Bloom’, based on a photo I took at the Winter Gardens in town.
I've painted this lily pond in a hothouse before, but from a different angle. In this painting, you can look through the door and see an ornamental pond in the distance and then the doorway to the other hothouse.
Now available on things to buy at my Redbubble store, such as greeting cards and tote bags.

So a nice thing coming up in my city is the annual French Film Festival the independent cinemas run. I always try to see one and after looking at the catalogue my nominees are:
Cycle of Time - A time travel comedy about a 1950's family that end up in the modern day. Can they adjust?
Santiago the Camino Therapy - A teenage boy who goes off the rails is told to walk the 800 kilometres of the Camino Way. He does so with an outspoken woman (was she told to do it too for Reasons?)
Colours of Time - in the 1890's, a young woman in Normandy leaves town and goes to the bright lights of Paris. In the modern day, her descendants inherit a abandoned house in Normandy .
I definitely want to see the time travel comedy.
There are hornets here now in New Zealand. 😑 This isn't good for our bees and horticulture.
Here's how to make a home-made trap:

Best bit I've seen today on the website notalwaysright.com
Miss Patty slowly blinks, sips her iced tea, and gives the kind of smile you usually see before a tornado drops.
So the night before as I was nearly falling asleep, there was a loud thunderstorm that went on for about an hour. It felt like the gods were playing ten-pin bowling above my neighbourhood. 😱
It was probably a bit worse than usual because we've had ex-tropical cyclone Tam roaming over the North Island in the last few days. There's been rain and occasional howling winds but luckily the power didn't go off like it did further north.
No I don't like thunderstorms, how did you guess this.
