Don't know how you do it Michael

Thank you all. It's true Carol but I'd rather people didn’t bring the subject up.

You’re far too modest Michael, I think I can speak for the ladies, we’ve missed you. This looks a simple sketch but it’s quality.

Thanks Fiona. I've missed good friends too. I joined another art class with Joe Hush on Friday, for 11 weeks. There were about 20 of us and guess what, me and Joe are the only men! Tomorrow I,m starting again at the Deerness club which meets once a month. So, it's not gone away, and I'm pleased to still have it.

That’s great Michael, Joe will probably put you through your paces, I like his work. You will have to be careful amongst those ladies, otherwise you’ll be worn out! Lol
