leaden roads

Snow is on its way. Another Christmas done, and getting back to normal now.

Rode out to Measham and Twycross Zoo today, often the Elephants are visible from the side road, but not today. There were visitors though; I’m told that the only day that place is shut is christmas day itself.

Too much rich food, too much central heating. No painting done since the 23rd.

45½ miles today, again the roads looked like lead (the metal), occasionally smeared in redish silty mud. Fields green.

Graphics tablet: I’m tempted to put Corel Painter back on the try this out. There are a few things I need to check out with colour anyway. Green & pink!
