26th November 2021 Mrs Annie R Teo  December is back and here I am, on a regular thirty something degrees Celsius pre-Christmas day, standing in my neighbor’s chili-peppers field.

2nd November 2021 Dr Beena  Hello everyone. Today I am so excited to share with you about this painting. I became so engrossed in it that I forgot to eat or drink😊. I watched the tutorial by Diane Antone. She was using cling film. Yes, the one that we use to wrap our food. Firstly,…

1st November 2021 Dr Beena Devi Hello everyone. I hope everyone is safe. Today my musing is about mushrooms. I am sure many of us love to eat mushrooms.
