    Art stuff. Bumped into a bloke couple of weeks back in Wentworth.
    Fella is building an old school gypsy caravan from scratch. It’s pretty much done & he asked me to decorate the exterior.. Fella ain’t short of a quid..
    I have ideas. A leafy, British wildlife decor. Which I still do well, pencil on paper.
    Haven’t held a paint brush, since poorly with stroke. So nervous. Van is in Rawmarsh, fella is happy to pay cab fares to the job & pay me £20 per hour, painting.
    I have ideas. Specking the job, tomorrow, will report back.. :)

    Amazing mate. He's lucky to have found you. Hopefully it'll be easier on a bigger scale like that?

    Sure it will be amazing whatever you do. Looking forward to seeing pictures when you’re done. You could do a painting of Oakwell on 1 side, reckon he’ll love that :D. Seriously, good luck.

    We’ll see, mate. Drawing people’s dogs is ok, at home. I have to look after the recent, elderly, adopted Terrier. Our Alf. Someone else’s dog, I’m committed to. Priority..

    Well done, Paul I hope it all goes well for you.
