NEW ROBERT SMITH PORTRAIT

SLIGHTLY OUT OF FOCUS, A BIT LIKE ME. THIS IS MY FIRST PAINTING IN OVER A YEAR.

IT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE PERSON WHO ASKED FOR IT WANTED. SO THATS GOOD.

HAD SOME GOOD NEWS WHICH IS QUITE BAD NEWS. I’VE RECEIVED EXTRA MONEY FROM GOVT, BECAUSE I’M OFFICIALLY HANDICAPPED. A TWO-EDGED SWORD. OK THE MONEY IS GOOD, BUT THE DESCRIPTION IS DEPRESSING. HOWEVER ONWARDS AND UPWARDS. I HAVE A PAINTING TO DO BUT AM STILL WAITING ON AN AMAZON DELIVERY FOR SUPPLIES. IT WAS NEXT DAY DELIVERY ON MONDAY. APPARENTLY NEXT DAY MEANS TWO DAYS AND MORNING MEANS AFTERNOON. BUT I’M SURE BEZOS IS WELL WORTH HIS BILLIONS.

WITH THIS ANNIVERSARY, I’M LUCKY. I HAVE THINGS TO DO. I HAVE TO GO TO TOWN FOR PAINTING SUPPLIES AND I HAVE A COMMISSIONED PAINTING TO COMPLETE. PROBABLY BETTER FOR ME IN THE LONG RUN THAN SITTING AROUND CIRCLING EVER INWARDS ON THE VAGARIES OF LIFE, MARIE WILL BE HAPPY WITH THAT, I THINK.

SUNDAY #12

EARLY START THIS MORNING, 5.30 AM KICK OFF TO DRIVE BACK HOME FROM HEMEL HEMPSTEAD. JAN DROVE HERSELF BACK AND WAS HOME FOR 9.45. SO ALL IN ALL A PRETTY GOOD TRIP. IT WAS NICE TO GET OUT AND ABOUT FOR A CHANGE, AFTER SPENDING PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE LAST SIX MONTHS IN MY BEDROOM. WHAT I DID NOTICE IS THAT EVERY TIME I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION MY THROAT WAS SORE AND MY LIPS WERE DRY… SEEMS I’VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO HAVE A CONVERSATION. TOMORROW IS THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF MARIE’S DEATH. NOT SURE HOW MUCH THIS WILL EFFECT ME, AS ANNIVERSARIES ARE ALWAYS A BIT FRAUGHT.

HAVING A RELAXING FEW DAYS WITH JAN AFTER A RATHER HECTIC XMAS PERIOD.

ANOTHER YEAR PASSES, AND NOW IT’S NEARLY THREE SINCE I LOST MY BELOVED. EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE.

XMAS DAY WAS A CULINARY DELIGHT, AND BOXING DAYS BUFFET WENT DOWN WELL, SO THREE DAYS OF CRIPPLING BACK TORTURE WAS WELL WORTH IT.

Xmas eve, I would like to bring good cheer. This is my take on the Vaccine. It is said that because the vaccine changes your DNA irreversibly, that you actually become detached from your soul. I have pondered this idea, and I feel that it cannot be the truth. If the vaccine has been administered with this unstated aim, God will not allow the duplicity to stand. Will this be the last xmas carried out in some sort of semblance of normality? It could be, but with faith we will make a better reality after the sham disease is over.

I write it as xmas, because this pagan rite has nothing to do with Jesus.

Good luck everyone, enjoy your family and friends.
