birdguhl , you asked "Do you mind telling me what you are working on?"what work @samwiseg was doing. A little bird told me to tell you she's helping an author by doing some illustrations for a book called "The Rainbow Flock". It's a book in 7 sections about all kinds of birds - poems, funny anecdotes, cartoons & a few beautiful works by @samwiseg for which I'm paying her a small commission.

I'd show you the first picture, but it's still under wraps at the moment. All I can tell you all is that it's very beautiful. @samwiseg, if you have a copy perhaps if you would upload it for all to see? I don't mind sharing at all. The original drawing is now in the ownership (apart from copyright which Sam keeps in case the pic goes viral & causes everyone to fall hopelessly in love with budgerigars/parakeets ) of the charity for homeless, vulnerable, addicted, mentally ill, ethnic minorities & local people called The Forge Project here in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom. The building is a Methodist Chapel leased to The Forge Project for the last 17 years. It is still a sanctified building & part of the local Methodist circuit. I work as a cleaner for them. It's a privilege & honour to work in such a place - really making a difference & serving the Lord Christ Jesus. The staff & service-users are a team called "The Forge Family". It's forged links with local businesses such as a business doing incredible things with cement.

Does anyone know what's being celebrated? It's supposed to be Hallowe'en but it's more like Bonfire Night with all these fireworks going off. At least those Roman Candles have stopped. RAIN!! Gordon Bennett! it's been coolly refreshing & strangely warming - the air is clean & fresh. It reminds me of that hymn about "soft, refreshing rain". Awesome. Anyway, I'm taking some time off work for a self-care break unTILL Monday. Order restored.

Your project sounds absolutely delightful!!!
It is Halloween here in the US but it is still mid-afternoon where I live. People are not supposed to go out and celebrate like they would typically. When night falls we'll see...

I think this topic may be better suited for the Lounge.
Regardless, my household celebrated Samhain by jousting with pool noodles. It was great fun.

Cheers @sillycat84, I've moved it. I think this topic may be better suited for the Lounge. Regardless, my household celebrated Samhain by jousting with pool noodles. It was great fun.
