I've never been although I have Swedish friends that have so my share for this week is Fidel, flag & map.

Colour me positive 

Here is our prompt 

I managed to get this done despite having my stepson & granddaughter here for the weekend!

I knew I had an image to use so a prepared background definitely paid off!

And as Bill, stepson Simon & granddaughter Mandy took themselves off for a walk I was able to sneak a little experiment in for life documented where the prompt is Week 7 Theme:  Hearts and Flowers - exploring paints and mediums. Prompt:  Watercolor. Technique: Painting loose flowers   Quote: Hearts are wild creatures, that's why our ribs are cages-Elalusz

which resulted in this spread....

My visitors have now left, so let's hope it's not another 32 months before we see them again!

The dog goes back for more biopsy samples on Wednesday....fingers crossed we will find out just what treatment is available, if any, for his cancer. The latest test will be sent to a lab in Cambridge- 1 of only 2 in the country that can do this particular test!

My fingers are crossed.....
