Well if somebody like this becomes a friend you have to get pictures! A New Yorker of my acquaintance said if you saw this scene in New York it would not be the strangest thing you could see, is he right? At last something that isn't just a test render! I haven't been here much lately, or anywhere else online either. I've had a catalogue of medical problems which are finally abating. At the end of 2021 I injured my left shoulder, which almost completely deprived me of any use of my left arm for the rest of that year and all of 2022. The shoulder is finally healing properly and I am now expected to recover the full use of the left arm. Great news! Having only one functional arm is unpleasant, especially if you're used to having two arms working. January of this year (2023) I had long overdue surgery on my left leg, and that has healed completely. But after the operation I was unsteady on my feet for a while and as a result in February I had a fall down a long flight of concrete steps which injured joints in both arms and both legs. So I currently have to use a walking stick to get around and I go shopping for food almost every day because I can't carry very much. Other permanent conditions becoming worse means I am frequently deprived of sleep, so making art or commenting on it is much harder than it should be. I have visited the galleries here and on other sites and looked, but often trying to think of anything to say just leaves me blank at the moment. Things are expected to get better again, and I really hope that prediction turns out to be correct. Anyway, I wish every body well, wish me well in recovery, and let's try and make 2023 better for all of us than 2022 was.
