I'm so Anal about storage space. Chairbound now. Legs, feet, swollen, may split then ulcers! In 8hrs I can get out of this chair, just a long #chemo session really. The plus side? Hugely swollen chipolatas are returning very slowly back to toes. There's lovely! #EdTackasArt

To rub salt in the wound, the ramps I need to get my mobility scooter out didn't arrive today so still housebound. So bloody gorgeous today as well. Haven't been to the beach at the end of the street for weeks!! #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics

Not too proud to admit it, the #LiveAbstractArt lesson 'Tune in, Turn on and Drop Out' was a disaster. Major situation work-wise, despite being retired because the Quack gave me the 'go home and get your affairs in order' speech. Ah well, we'll try another time #EdTackasArt

So, so childish of me, but I couldn't resist.

My V dear friends Simon & his wife Lowri, the Lady of the Valleys, came to #Portsmouth. Simon, a Viet Nam War buff came 2 visit the dockyard & collect what was my favourite painting but is now under his ownership. I couldn't have wished for a better home!

The new easel and palette are taking a hammering! #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics #spraypaint #London #Portsea #Portsmouth #landscape #Seascape #portraitart

My young 'Apprentice' dropped round a present for me yesterday and whilst here, unlike most kids, he finished what he started last time. Lightning McQuenn. #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics #spraypaint #London #Portsea #Portsmouth #landscape #Seascape

Their 1st holiday abroad. I'd love to know what went through their little heads when they woke up to this? PRICELESS. #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics #spraypaint #London #Portsea #Portsmouth #landscape #Seascape #portraitart

Tonight my Mother In Law went to an Indian restaurant. She took me there once, BEST curry ever! I looked on their web site and it expressly says they do NOT serve take away food. Fortunately for me, my Mother In Law doesn't take No for an answer.

In 1999 I had an idea. I turned that idea into a business. It's given me an income for 20 years. Today I sold it. Job done. Goodbye

Today I retired. Something I thought I'd NEVER say. So tonight, although tea total, I'm getting stoned the old fashioned way. My Doc asked for an original oil painting. Here us the embryonic start. #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics #Portsea

Saw one of these last night being put through its paces. Brought back memories of flying an Extra 300 over the Solent. edtackasart.co.uk/jolly-good… #EdTackasArt #52pieces #art #oilpainting #streetart #acrylics #spraypaint #London #Portsea #Portsmouth #landscape #Seascape
