Then comes the request to look after GSNo1 (Little Soldier in disguise!) while DDC has a rest - she has been ill for some days, the hospital has said that rest is best - so off we go to collect him.
We travel over to Pets at Home on one of our local retail parks, lots to see there. While Grandad sorts out the litter, we go off to look at the animals and the fish...... fish are a favourite thing to look at. Then we sort out the Bird Food, up to the paydesk and out into the rain to the car. The traffic has built up now so it seems to take an age to come home but the entertainment team is there ...... just how many Rain connected songs can we sing?!! Grandad is in his element and makes them up as we go along which brings forth much laughter and giggling.
After the Pizza lunch, it is decided that GSNo1 and I will paint backgrounds for my artworks. We left Grandad watching a film (it stars Rowan Atkinson and is about a spy!) and went into Grandma's Craft Room.... wowee!
Some paper had been prepped with some coarse gesso as texture was needed in the background.
Lots of Grandma's special paints were lined up ready to use.
Tools of the trade were also there, don't ask where they come from as they have been around for what seems ages.
The paint was applied with much gusto and the page covered, "Enough!" cried the artist, "more paper".
So more was supplied .....
Then Grandma joined in a bit, well, as much as she was allowed to......
This one, I agree, looked like Thomas the Engine once the paint had been spread so the Artist decided that he would paint Thomas.
This is difficult to explain but - the engine was there in shape, it looked like the Engineer had given it a new coat of paint - GSNo1 decided to paint it as well so 'Thomas' disappeared under the new paint!!
.......and so it went on and on ..... sponges were washed and dried ...... more colours chosen and painted ....... super time had by all ......
