Celebration and confession....

Love it Jim. I agree fish is better on a plate with chips. I ll make excuses for this picture it's just a windy day lol

Nice one Jim. You made me hungry talking about fish and chips. Do you remember when eating meat on a Friday was a mortal sin?

Thanks Lesley, and indeed I do Michael. I was an altar boy for eight years. (-:

I'll just have the chips, thanks Jim!!! As a confirmed Veggie!!!

I agree with you too Jim. My favourite meal but I wouldn't have to sit and catch it first. Happy birthday for last Friday!

Oh...and happy belated birthday!

Belated birthday wishes Jim, shark infested waters!!

A belated Happy Bidet , Jim , and in all honesty , I don't think that you have missed out on much regarding the fishing pole. Reckon you are doing far better with the pen and brush. Hope it was a good one.

Many thanks all for the comment and good wishes. I do have one very happy fish memory of sitting outside a seafront restaurant in Santa Barbara California ten years back and having two chunks of fried rock cod and chips and a cold beer, which was just about as good as it gets anywhere. (-:

Happy Birthday Jim. I went fishing once and it was quite a thrill to catch one. Where do you store all your paintings, you must have hundreds.

Belated happy birthday wishes for last Friday Jim.

Thanks again and, Fred, I have a couple of dozen filled sketch books. and a large plastic box full of paintings in the back bedroom. I don't do a lot of big stuff or oil painting so I have only a couple of canvasses. and the few big paintings I have are in a plastic cover in the same place. I have about 1200 plus paintings on my galleries here on site. When I eventually pass on, what my children don't want will most likely be recycled. Such is the lot of a painter. (-:

Hey Jim, happy belated birthday🥞🎂🥃🍺 hope you had a good one. I love fish too and chips!
