Lots more work done since I posted this. It's really coming to life now that I've done the highlights and shadows on their faces and bodies :D
I will have to rework his hand, not happy with it.

Her clothes are as good as done. There's a lot of pure orange in her skirt that the camera doesn't pick up on.

And I've started the saddle and tack to the left.

Ads?
I have no ads. Never had them either :D
I would've been long gone if I did.

Thank you, Bobtail :D

I started a new painting a few days ago :) Another romantic one in a different setting yet again.

Thinking... my body has still not fully recovered from the unhealthy but mandatory diet I had to keep for 5 days.
It was mostly carbohydrates and sugars which has thrown my body out of whack :/

I'd use the second last or last photo for a profile photo.
They clearly shows your face and are nice photos.
The one you got now says nothing much except that you are a woman in a swimsuit.
Wearing a cap and shades isn't recommended for a profile pic and the fact your breasts show clearly may backfire and get you messages you really do not want.

As for your text... why not specify what it is you're looking for? Do you want a romantic partner or really just more of a friend?
Your text isn't clear on this.

And as someone already said "activity partner" on this site is typically used to mean "sex partner".
Which makes it even more important to be clear in your blurb what it is you're offering and what you are looking for.

I see loads of different men doing this and most aren't at the beach or outdoors. Most are when he's on the settee or something. I have even seen some from the man in a bathtub

And it's not accidental, it's deliberate and clearly not done to show the environment but to show his naked legs.
If I'd want to take a photo to show the environment whilst I'm on a sun lounger or deck chair my legs wouldn't be in the shot. I'd have to hold the camera in my lap to get my legs in the photo.
Or almost in my lap and angle the camera down a bit.

It's a deliberate act. And for a bloke to do that is just weird.
Or as Bobtail said: downright fruity!

It is indeed fruity. (I learnt another word I didn't know, hihi. I'm going to remember that one, I like it, haha)

So far so good and looking forward to the day :D
Glad all the stress from last week concerning the medical procedure is behind me now.

Started a new painting yesterday, nothing much on the agenda for this week, perfect!

I decided to add a bit to the painting as I kept feeling the left side needed something. Not much, but something.
So I added a few birch trees :)
Now I feel it's truly finished.
Called "Push for Home" - 50x40cm




Before I finished that one off I did another li'l painting called "Cowboy Coffee".
It's only 20x20cm, just the right size for this scenery :)
And I liked having a painting in my cowboy & horse series that doesn't portray either, but still a scene that is related to the lifestyle.

Feeling... good :) Had a marvelous time yesterday!
We met up with a small group of people from a dating site with a forum. Some had already met before during another get-together, most were new to me.
Had to drive all the way across the country to get there, quite something as I never drive that far. I barely ever drive on a motorway anymore.
But it all went well and we had a great time :D

I am a woman and must say I've never come across another woman who does / wants what you're talking about.
I'm thinking you're dealing with scammers. Either that or you have checked the wrong option, not looking for a woman but a man.
As what you describe is what most men are like.

After a rough beginning of the week -which I knew upfront- the ending has taken a turn for the positive :D

The White Princess - 2017
IMdB rating 7,5
My rating 10

I sometimes re-watch the entire UK history/Tudor sequence because I just love it :D
Next will be "The Spanish Princess". Maybe I will also rewatch the entire "The Tudors" series after that. I probably will

Feeling... happy that the coloscopy went well! Nothing bad found either, which I already knew but alas.
At least I can go back to eating as normal again so my body can recover from the impact of the invasive preparation.

And feeling glad I decided to do it without sedation. Wouldn't have been worth the hassle as it wasn't painful (for me).
The sedation is of more concern than the coloscopy itself as it can cause acute respiratory arrest which scared me way more than doing it without.

Thinking... about how I am going to finish this last cup of gross liquid that makes me wanna puke...
And thinking about this afternoons checkup.
Few more hours than it's over. Can't wait!!!
This has been a 5 day ordeal for sure.

Feeling... immensely relieved!! I'm 1 hour past the last sip of the first dose of laxation and I didn't get intense cramps! Hooray! I was so afraid for that to happen.
I did use acupressure points just in case.

Now I'm fine, relaxed again, feeling good.
Second dose of this stuff is tomorrow when I get up. Going to be a great breakfast, yuk!
But it is what it is.
Tomorrow evening it's all going to be over! Can't wait.

Feeling... grateful I had a good night's sleep!!

The White Queen
Focusing on the last of the War of the Roses.

Me's thinking that life for women was so incredibly hard in those days. You just never had real safety, not even as queen consort.

And even as queen consort having to except that your husband would sleep with loads of other women, or if he wished had a favourite mistress for years on end.
We have men watching porn these days, a somewhat milder version of that, but equally disastrous to a relationship.
You were prolly better of as a poor woman, wife of a peasant or something.

In any case a really good series. Drama & intrigue was part of that history.

IMdB rating 7,7
My rating a 10 for sure

Dry eyes are a typical menopausal problem due to lack of hormones that the body needs.
One of the many issues.
Depending on your age and when you became menopausal you may consider getting on HRT. Helps a lot!

As for dry eyes itself, Google "TMC acupressure points dry eyes" and use those points.
I told my stepmother the same when she had dry eyes after having eye surgery. It helped her tremendously!
