Beam paints - happy early birthday to me!

I decided that watercolour pencils are great but I was using them as swatches of paint. So I decided to invest in a nice watercolour travel kit.

What's better than an indigenous owned paint shop out of Manitoulin Island in Canada! They have rave reviews, plastic free, and this awesome travel kit! (No I'm not paid for this, I just did my research and it paid off!)

So my hubby bought me the mixing six set.

Comes in a kameco tin with a fountain pen, amazing travel brush and the paints.

Check out how cute! The colours are amazing. Sorry for the randomness and bad lighting.

I brought them on a trip with me and hope to try them out in action.

Lunch time sketch

Added water colour pencil after but it is not rich so I added real watercolour after and acrylic paint to touch up the white.

I'd like to add some small concert pics. I don't have amazing pics. If you own one that you're willing to let me print for personal use only, please let me know. ❤️

Has anyone with past shows been able to sell via ticketmaster?

Did ticketmaster ever turn on the sell option for past shows?

Hoping to sell mine via ticketmaster for Toronto

Worked completely backwards

Took a photo at the spa (faces redacted). Decided to grab the closest paper and pen which was tan and white respectively. The White was my base sketch.

Added coloured pencils but not super thick. Then outlined.

If i darken the pencil, it might look better. I'm impressed I got it done. So much detail shows up once I started.

Feedback welcome

Farmers market

Not a typical focal point but I like the perspective. Still working on watercolour. I use pencils but now mix them off the sheet. Guess I should go to pans lol

Critique welcome

MCR wembley artist: rose popay

Now that's what I call being in the moment. I was at the two shows before this one. She did a great job. She came across my tiktok, thought I would share.

Kenmore bottom freezer. How long to defrost?

The top fridge was hot so I decided to unplug and do a full clean at the same time. The food was bad or going bad.

​

It is sitting unplugged with the bottom freezer open. How long do you think it should stay like that?

​

Also, im expecting water to drain in the freezer. Should I be prepared for it anywhere else?

​

Thanks :)

Totenham stadium to Wembley

How unreasonable would it be to get an uber after the BTS concert to take me to Wembley area where I'm staying?

Google says it is 1h 22m by tube. I'm solo so I would rather avoid travelling in some areas alone at night.

Thanks

In Canada buying for London

I'm getting blocked on the website. I also got flagged as a bot for BTS in canada (not true, just lucky glitch :D)

Any idea what I can do? Is there a UK app because it is not listed for me.

Thanks Tunneys, I've seen enough man parts.

Last year, i went in the women's washroom and there was a gentleman at the counter whose butt was hanging out of his pants. The men's washroom was closed. Non threatening... whatever.

Few weeks ago, I go to get on the elevator down for platform 2 and up comes a guy putting his pants on.

Today, I go to get on plat 1 elevator and there is a gentleman up against in the corner. He says 'dont come on'... then I see that he's peeing in the corner.

I've seen enough, thanks.
