With autumn well embedded now, I decided that it was time that I must get some of those pre-winter jobs done yesterday, the `severe-pruning` types of things, taking bags to the tip, etc etc. The very overcast and wet day was not ideal for photography anyway.

Now working on clearing my study area at home a bit, this being the fall back space to paint until I find somewhere else. I might see my desk again one day. I have been using daylight bulbs of an evening but I must say they aren`t fantastic.

I released a short update by pdf this week and good to hear that these still get read! A few people have asked about the New York offer, but i`m afraid the financial side of it is in a different league to me. One day, who knows. Still it is encouraging when someone makes the effort to say they like what you do.

This week looks busy yet again, but once the study is cleared up I should be able to keep the watercolour board up. Good job I haven`t been commissioned for that at the moment!

Greenfield is running it`s annual `alternative-to-Halloween` party tomorrow, and I wish them well. Kids need to know the hidden dangers with being unaware of the celebration of halloween, and i`m glad the church has been doing something about it for a numnber of years now. Good for them.

Looking at updating some Topaz de-noising software this week to try anad improve on my flight photography. I have had many shots that I haven`t been happy with, and I occasionally use Topaz elsewhere (only when necessary). Must catch those Peregrines this year!

Have a good week
