A little update on my banged up head
Hi everyone I’ve been told I need to rest which I am doing to allow my head to mend and heal. I’m going to see how I feel tomorrow midday before I make an about tomorrow’s live stream. I’m not sure I’m going to be well enough to do it but will see how things look tomorrow. I must say having a fractured skull and brain bleed was not on my todo list or business plan for this week so it’s all a little strange really. Really sorry for this as I really need to upload lesson videos and courses but this takes a focus I don’t currently have. Apparently the Dr’s have said I will feel much better within the next 14 days. I’m sure they’re right. Chat soon Martin x

Live webinar on all aspects of oil painting. It was my first try on here as this a really new skool community so something went wrong with the camera link up. I have recorded the session so I will be loaded onto the recorded webinars course in the morning.

I'm hoping Tuesdays live at 5 stream will happen. My head is still a little fragile from the fall but I'm going to try and see if I can do this.
Thank You Everyone for All Your Support While My Head Heals
So I'm pleased to say after three weeks of rest my head injury is on the mend. It's going to tack another 5 weeks for my fractured skull to heal but much of the dizziness and unpleasant feelings have subsided. Tuesday and Thursday streams are therefore now back. so please do join in the fun and lets get back to making this Skool a place to learn from. Sadly I still can't drink any wine for a while longer but looking forward to our next wine tasting moments in class where I can sip a little with you all. One thing I’ve managed to figure out all on my own is my head is attached to everything else so even making a coffee is challenging 😥 Thank you to everyone for your understanding and help while my skull heals. Martin

@Temiloluwa Ibidapo morning I’m taking a break from all work related issues due to a fall I recently had. Currently nursing a fractured skull and a brain bleed so doctors orders are for me to take a short rest so I can recover. I need approximately 6 weeks of rest so my head heals whiteout complications. Let’s chat in a month from now when I can focus on stuff. Martin
