Paddling. It was not cold. Bit breezy. No sun. I walked. And breathed in the sea air. So good.
Some painting. Tiger at the top. Goldcrest at the bottom.
Very difficult to control my emotions today with the Cummings saga.
Tomorrow I hope to get photos of the garden to soothe my brain if nothing else. I am struggling to carry on with the blog as I have these comments telling me what I do wrong. My Mother is dead. My children are allowed to advise me as is the DP. I do not require someone I do not know poking their nose in. Anonymous so they get deleted just wish I didnt have to read them.

Ignore the nasty comments.I think you are one very brave and inspiring lady.I am amazed at what you do,how you cope with your COPD.The ones making these comments are the ones with the problem.They are very sad little people.Ignore.Hugs to you.Barbaraxx
I am truly sorry you have people making stupid and cruel trolling comments. I agree with the comment above. I am inspired by you. I think you are brave and very talented! I am 75 and have many health issues and also am doing water color every day, so I feel rather connected to you. I don't live in the wonderful place you do, but I love northeast Ohio on the southern shores of Lake Erie next to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. You are such a strong person!
Dominic Cummings must have been applying the same common sense Boris talks about!
I am sorry you keep being hounded by the anonymous commenters - you do right to delete them. We are all struggling to get through this and get through it safely and alive, in the meantime we all have to live too - it is a hard balance, but those in power who are making the rules based on the best available advice from some very experienced medical and scientific professionals should also follow that advice with no excuses otherwise why are any of us bothering.
I love the boldness of your paintings - it is something I must try harder at. x
Rise above it Jill, they are sad, sick people.
Oxygen going well.

I don't know how it works but couldn't you just immediately delete any that are signed with anonymous without reading them?
I tried to write a long comment earlier but had such difficulties getting it posted even though my blog address was on it - thickethouse.wordpress.com...
But I will try again. I wanted to say that you are so brave and talented and inspiring that I am in awe of you. Keep on doing all the good you do. Be well and stay safe.
I agree, please don't give up. I love reading your blog, and your art. You are an amazing lady, and cope so well with your health. Keep it up. Regards, Pauline, New Zealand
I'm so sorry you are getting some nasty comments. There are far too many idiots around.
Keep fighting and keep blogging your beach and painting photos cheer me up
You have a great blog. Keep on writing and taking photos. It´s good for you and for us.

Hope you don't mind me telling you what to do: Don't give up blogging, please! There have been some really horrible comments on lots of blogs recently and even from people in shops and out on walks, and it makes me feel awful when I've had a couple directed at me. On reflection, I realise that it's probably because people are stressed out and think it's ok to lash out, which it isn't. It's like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube; once it's out, it can't be put back in, so people should think carefully before saying things.
I pop in every day to look at your photos and artwork, please keep going and take care. We would all miss you so much.
I so look forward to reading about your day and would miss you terribly if you stopped writing. I love to see the beautiful part of the world you live in and admire your tenacity. Terry
Is that you paddling :)
could the DP delete the anonymous comments for you before you see them?
Sorry I am telling you what to do aren't I :(
Keep blogging I love everyone of your quips.

It all gets aggravating. I had an aunt I adored who was a farmer's wife. The cows paid for the farm; the tobacco paid for everything else. One hot muggy summer afternoon ended in a hail storm - and tobacco leaves torn up by hail stones are worthless. We watched the crop being destroyed, and my mother softly asked my aunt "What are you going to do?" And she replied "I don't worry about nothing I can't control." How much control do we ever really have? Deep breaths, do what we can to take care of our own little patch, and move on.
You are right to delete the mean comments! Who needs it? Some people cannot be kind or respectful - you should ignore them for sure! I enjoy your blog and you get many positive, encouraging remarks so keep on if you can and I will keep reading! Thanks for the pics of the big boats! I love the many photos you take at the Prom.
I'm sorry to read you are still receiving unpleasant comments.
Keep on keeping on. X
