Do you have a list of things you like?

I'd be interested to see that.
Well, I take these cardboard boxes, see and paint them and cut them out so you can see the passengers..
Sorry I was just trying to think of something Your beloved leader does that you might approve of
Actually I enjoy drawing and painting
Perhaps this will work?
Clickable Gallery
No talent, but enjoyable for me
There are also a couple of life drawings from Hull art circle sessions, hope no offence given
These are all 2014

Are those pictures your work? You have an enviable talent if so. I have no artistic flare whatsoever. If I try to draw a face, it doesn’t look human, hands look like claws, I’m hopeless.

You are lucky to possess this skill, I wish I had it.

Whereas we in the U.K. treat the “non policy holders” and fund that with the policy holders premiums.

My niece is going to work in New Zealand in the new year. She has to undergo a medical for pre-existing conditions and demonstrate that she has a way to fund her medical care, should she become ill. She’s affectively a non policy holder in New Zealand and I guess they are trying to protect their policy holders from the burden she would present if in need of medical care.

That seems like a good system, we should apply it to anyone entering the U.K.
We charge non EU patients in exactly the same way in the UK as your niece would be in New Zealand. Our hospitals have admin staff members whose duty it is to pursue payment and they can get quite bullying at times in enforcing that. The one I witnessed doing that with a middle eastern patient did rather surprise me with her ruthless insistence.

There was a time when we didn't do that, but some years ago one of our governments ordered a crackdown as it had always been the law.

Ha ha, try pitching up at a French or Spanish hospital with an injury, toothache or infection and saying, “Send the bill to the U.K.” No cash, no treatment is the EU way.
Then you don't know how to apply!. Ignorance is no defence. I had an occasion to engage with the French medical system. A power cable on a lawn mower exploded and damaged my hand. I should have gone for treatment immediately, but left it a few days and it was getting serious. I paid some 50 euro up front at a local health services clinic ,where I was seen by a Moroccan doctor, and he gave me a load of paperwork for prescriptions and a requirement to visit him next day with some IG anti rabies preparation. The local pharmacy stayed open for me to collect the medicines which came to about 200 euro. And even more paperwork. The next day ( a Sunday) the doctor administered the preparation and gave me even more paperwork. I brought all with me to the local social services health office, where the women were delighted to practice their English ..and I my French. And lo and behold, the majority of my outlay appeared in my French Bank account some sux weeks later. The only information, other than a french bank account was my Irish PPS card.
The Wound on my little finger healed perfectly .. the bone had been exposed!.

Thn why are you making suggestions that we take ours elsewhere?
For your own health. :)

As a general rule - if you don't like something but you can't change it - you are left with two choices. Accept it - or leave. You're obviously struggling with the first - so your only option is the second.

You're welcome. Anytime. No really. It's my pleasure.

Wow. Excellent. You have some real talent there. My Dad painted for a living and I still deal with galleries who sell his work.

Like I said in an earlier post - TAKE IT UP AGAIN!

Yes, I'm afraid they are mine, these days Photography has taken over, i post one every day on Blipfoto, this was a couple of days ago when I posted my 2190th consecutive daily blip. If you can be bothered the arrows at the top right allow navigation through previous and later images

As you can see though it's just a vanity exercise, it does mean lots of people view your images, and it is a worldwide site
And no fingers those are page views not a fan club!
A lot better than when I started all those years ago, and if you were lucky the family would look at you efforts.

Well start. Make the time. She will understand. You could set up your stuff in her room if you had to - and paint whilst you can still keep an eye on her.
I keep promising I will but like Boris I'm not very good at keeping them!
