@IanGordonCraig Hope your power stays on.

#Thunder That first thunderclap across the city lasted for ages, even invading my headphones. Exciting. I love the sound of thunder.

@ArnoldLabour @BENEFITS_NEWS We can only get texts via WiFi calling, which of course is not available if the power goes off.

@dartwalker @BENEFITS_NEWS Not even for a SMS text message? That's what online banking authentication defaults to for mobile numbers. I realise that doesn't help if you need to voice call in an emergency, even if text message is better than total cut off, which is what virgin did to me.

The problem with BT switching the familiar landlines off for digital voice ... When many vulnerable need the wired phone and not internet based - which cuts off, nor one that relies upon mains, when power cuts and when they don't have it in them to keep mobile phones or charged.

@ArnoldLabour @BENEFITS_NEWS This is assuming you have mobile signal where you live. Not all of us do.

@BENEFITS_NEWS Another lost cause I'm afraid. Eventually I found the solution was to buy a tablet with sim card slots, and order a PAYG sim from Amaz0n for £1, with a major mobilephone company (such as Three) to use for nothing else but authentication and emergencies, and a call every 150 days

@Mr_ian_B Sorry to hear that Ian.

@handymelon @GraniteElements 😂

@dartwalker @GraniteElements She said I had no sense of style, and I said if she's only just realised that about me then she knows me less well than I thought she did 🤣🤣🤣

Good evening Creatives 😀 It’s Monday, it’s 7.00 pm and it’s time for the splendid hour that is #mycreativeweek Post in the comments thread and use the hashtag #mycreativeweek to share your creative endeavours from the past 7 days. Sorry I can’t be with you this evening have fun

@GraniteElements That’s the end of another inspiring hour of creativity. Lovely to see everyone. Wishing you all a good, but maybe cooler, week. #mycreativeweek

@jeantoms26 @GraniteElements Thank you Jean.

@dartwalker @GraniteElements Lovely tulips 🌷

@handymelon @GraniteElements Thank you Handy.

@dartwalker @GraniteElements Those tulips are beautiful!

@GlowstoneKatie @GraniteElements Thank you Nick.

@dartwalker @GraniteElements Lovely delicate tulips! 🥰

@GlowstoneKatie That’s a glowing summer’s day there.

Finally finished the watercolour and a little sketch of an Acer in our garden ❤️ #mycreativeweek I’m going to try a watercolour with a loch next and try my hand at water reflections…😬

@handymelon @GraniteElements On this occasion, ignore Young’Un.

@GraniteElements Hello all 👋🏼 The blanket is getting steadily bigger but doesn't look much different so no pic this week! My clogs are done and I think they're hilarious! They're also really good for this hot weather, so a double win 😄 (Young'un hates them, it's hilarious 😆) #mycreativeweek

@meikiecakie @GraniteElements I’m so looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

@GraniteElements Good evening creatives. Finished outlining the ‘flower bed’ piece. Went on to test painting the jewels for the dragon piece. Then painting the jewels on the actual piece, so much work to create sparkle. I’m finally onto the dragon bodies now. #mycreativeweek

@handymelon @GraniteElements Fantastic!

@Patrici46119638 @GraniteElements Be very sparing to start with. It is real fun when the colour starts to shift on the paper.

@dartwalker @GraniteElements I've really liked trying out those pencils but haven't risked adding water yet.

@JohnFra23673605 @writer_paula That’s beautiful John. The detail is there, but also the sense of the light.

Evening. I just have one tonight, a small pastel painting of the Menai Bridge, Anglesey, from a photo @writer_paula . I did post it the other day but I've done a little more to it. It's only A4 size so not easy to get details in. #mycreativeweek

@SuesArt @GraniteElements Thank you.

@dartwalker @GraniteElements Beautiful 💕

@Patrici46119638 @GraniteElements You have really captured the veins in the petals beautifully.

@GraniteElements Good evening, I've been inspired by my garden this week - here's a clematis is coloured pencils which need greenery in yet. Also been cooking for a neighbour's NGS open gardens, Dorset apple cake, fresh cream éclairs with raspberries etc. but forgot photos! #mycreativeweek

@jeantoms26 @GraniteElements The textures in these are wonderful.

@GraniteElements Evening All #mycreativeweek

@SuesArt @GraniteElements There is a real freedom to a large sketchbook. Lovely work.

@GraniteElements Having a very abstract week All done in my large sketchbook #mycreativeweek
