Thanks for half a million hits or 500,000 views and.......

....the 1200+ followers, this blog is one of the few things that gets me through these days and also I'm a secret paint brush licker!!

Me and Ray are now on our 30 day redundancy notice but still haven't a finish date yet???

Lurker: Stop it!
Ray: What?
Lurker: You threw a date at me!
Ray: Did not!
Lurker: Did too, you have a bag of nuts and fruit open in front of you and you know I don't like dates!
Ray: I know that's why I threw it!
Lurker: Ha Ha! I knew it!
Ray: What are you blogging?
Lurker: Just thanking people for the milestone.
Ray: That's pathetic!
Lurker: You're pathetic!
Ray: Am not!
Lurker: Are too!

See what I have to put up with!



These are called hundreds and thousands or sprinkles in some other places (maybe not 500,000 at my last count) but I digress....last night while painting some figures I always keep the shape on my paintbrushes by inserting the tip in my mouth after dipping it in the water to clean it, I don't know if this common among figure painters but anyway last night I did this to a freshly bladed scalpel that I thought was a paintbrush.......I was lucky that in went in on the flat side and only shaved the what I believe are hairs on my tongue.....I took the scalpel back out slowly and looked at it for a good ten seconds, looked at Ray and put it down, fiddled with my tongue looking for issues but luckily there were none........

.........I'm getting old but the main thing is thanks to all the commenter's, readers and those people who visit by mistake!

THANKS!!

    Congrats on those milestones Ray. They're called sprinkles here. Oh and while I think that putting the tip of a brush in your mouth is common practice, I can't say the same for scalpels.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Jason1 February 2013 at 21:38

    Congratulations on making the big one(s)! Also well done on not coming a cropper with that scalpel too! It reminds me of the tale of my Uncle who worked in a print shop and was using a scalpel to cut paper. He was in too much of a hurry as he needed the loo and he dropped the scalpel which fell into the top of his thigh and stuck out like an Apache's arrow. Priorities being priorities he ran off to the loo first with said scalpel waving like a flag pole in the wind!

    Ps. What's the picture going to be when you get a million views? (that could be today with that picture up there!) :-D

    Woot woot!!! And you sound happy today-goody!! I put my brushes in my mouth too, but I never keep a scalpel without a lid on it and I never keep a scalpel anywhere near my brushes. You silly man, what are we going to do with you?

    Is that Ray's chest...??? In that case I don't understand your whining, and I suddenly understand that scalpel in mouth thingie...
    Concratulations man, you're well worth it.
    And redundacies suck, but there is a life after. Was for me at least.

    I was supposed to congratulate you for the 500 000 hits... well, I think that's the same as congratulations on our birthday. So, congrats on that.

    BUT... having 1200 followers!! That's really meaningful! It's people like... me, that look up to you for guidance (not on that brush licking thing, though). You can be proud of that! :D

    Cheers.

    Congratulations Fran!

    I've never sucked on a scalpel and I do 'mouth point' my brushes... I also often dip brushes in my tea, which is usually right next to the water jar.

      I just noticed the redundancy thing. Normally at the end of the 30 day period you will finish on that day and then they'll pay you your notice.

      Thats what happened to me a few years back its worth confirming what will happen at the end of the 30 days.

    Congrats Fran! I have a habit of licking my brush as well to keep it shape. Never a scalpel, but I have dipped my brush in my tea a few times now. Oh, if you happen to need someone to verify that number of sprinkles I count pretty well.

    Scary tale of the scalpel swallowing. We're not allowed near any sharp objects without supervision and certainly not without medication, so it'll never happen to any of us . . . but Billy keeps telling me to stab the nurse . . .
