I remember Wednesday, as If it was only Yesterday….

Good evening all, appologies for yesterday, I was washing my hair….

To be honest it has been a very busy couple of days for Suzanne and I, we have had hospital appointments, Chiropractors and all sorts going on… none of which to do with Suzanne work. I had to also do the gardening as the hedge had started abducting passers-by, it was ok until the cat dissapeared, that was WAR..

It feels that we have had a very un-productive couple of days.. All orders are shipped, appologies if you didnt get a “your order has shipped” message, I got completely swamped yesterday. We have a handfull of new orders for tommorrow which is just as well, for I have more running about to do… hospital runs again, fortuneately not Suzanne’s turn, this is the Grandmother’s turn.. routine tests I might add. But it all adds up to hours and hours sitting around acheiving very little indeed….and I always catch a tropical disease sitting in these waiting rooms…..

Today Suzanne and I went shopping… and I got the extension to my masculinity I have always wanted…….a barbeque……. so I ughed and arrred my way through the assembly instructions until,

bbq2 and BBQ1

Became……….

bbq3 bbq4

Then it was time to cook on it, with utter primevil glee I hunted round the garden for foods to gather for the family…..sausages and burgers… the staple food of the primative man. Cooked/cremated for approximately 30 seconds, served in a bun and flushed down the loo approximately 30 minutes later….

Caleb our youngest boy was not particularily impressed with the offerings…

NO!!

So I tried again…. this time a slightly different result..

I SAID NO!!
So now the Kids are in bed until such times as the barbeque gods deem appropriate for the bathroom visit….and I have some time to sit down and get the blog out of the way.

One Thousand Appologies for dropping the blog ball last night, I truly didnt get a chance… and I didnt want to stick up a “sorry im washing my hair” blog post… you guys deserve much better than that… I am also looking into a substitute blogger…tho other than Suzanne, its pretty much me. I will always strive to make a daily blog entry..

FRIDAY NIGHT GIVEAWAY

Tommorrow night, Friday 9th of May (gosh its getting close to my birthday… all gifts warmly received…) is the 2nd in our FRIDAY NIGHT GIVEAWAY’s…. I still havent figured out the competition, but It will run all week, untill FRIDAY 16th May… when it will end. midnight… UK time. So I plan and propose to have the competition set up by 10pm UK time tommorrow night, It will not be any earlier nor terribly later.. It will start immediately from the time its posted until the following Friday Midnight UK time.. This is to give plenty of time for you all to get your entries in. Details will be given in full tommorrow..

The Prize is Suzanne’s latest painting… untitled as yet…

pen painting finnished

So its a great prize and definately worth putting up with my rantings for a while longer…

THURSDAY BLOG is full of….

So I need to bring you up to speed with what Suzanne has been upto these last two days.. Well she watched… neighbours, reaper, the apprentice, giggled at Reaper…

Oh and she finnished a commision for a digital painting with a set of four canvas wraps prints to go with it. Suzanne also just finnished work on a tube commission of a beautiful little pussy cat. I have got pictures, but I think its only fair the customers see them first… More on them soon. Commissions are still open, email commissions@gorjuss.co.uk for details… it will be myself you’ll be speaking to..

 

NEW PAINTING

new paiting 2

Suzanne has been very busy, she has started yet another painting, using the paint pens again, this is as yet untitled but marks a return to a soft feel in her work. I think its a reflection of the releif from the pain she has enjoyed over the last week. For those of you out there that prefer her darker work, its ok I plan to steal her computer keyboard from her, that will put her in a right dark mood…new paiting

 

Well thats all for now, I hope to see you all Tommorrow night for the big prize competition, and again all week….. It will be a fun week I hope, and of course… apart from the big prize, we will have lots of little prizes as well…. so please take part..

 

– All the best to you all,

Grant

  5. thanks for the update….blog tardiness excused…life happens…time wasted waiting for appoints is truly annoying unless it’s god forbid YOUR emergency appointment that the dr squeezed in last moment and hence all the others scheduled have to wait…been on both sides here…besides..productivity is both relative AND over rated!

    that new picture looks lovely..can’t wait to see it finished…i personally like suzanne’s “soft”er work…and am doubly glad if it’s the result of better pain management or being pain free πŸ™‚

    a taurian grant or a gemini?? my bday is tomorrow may 9…

    psst…suzanne…hiding the TV remote or crumbs UNDER the fitted sheet on his side of the bed is fair payback for a missing keyboard!!

  12. So good to read your update again…I was having withdrawals!

    I am glad Suzanne is feeling better and you had a successful shopping trip. The grill is very nice…Mr. Dave (hubby) approves!

    Hmmm, my birthday is in 10 days…I wonder if Grant and I share the same day?

    Love the preview of the newest painting…can’t wait to see the finished product, I know it will be beautiful!

  13. (Sneaking in with a house full of guests) Glad you will run the competition for a week because gosh if I can’t get on here later. My darling girl is having a party herself tomorrow, good time of year to have birthdays! πŸ™‚

    The new painting is looking amazing, I can’t wait to see what she does with it. Congrats on the new bbq by the way, we have one and heavens knows if I even know how to use the darn thing. Then again, I leave that to the men in the family. I definitely suggest cooking food longer next time though. lol.

    Well have a great day, like I said I’ve snuck on for my “fix” and have to run before they realize I’ve dissapeared.
