( 00.44 last night )

Heavy day in the shops today and I've gone rather over budget - I think I only have about £200 available ( after taking into account tax credits due in and direct debits due out ) until the end of the month now...!!

On the plus side, I managed to find a painting board of the right size to fit an empty frame that has been here for a year following a measurement error last year which resulted in an incorrectly sized frame being bought; I will use this board for my next painting.  It'll be a landscape and I hope to start sketching the outline in the next few days.
