How many hours does it take, or is it one of those get absorbed, lose track of times.Here's today's pencil drawing, not coursework, just practice.

I see Chinese writing of some sort.Interesting that you see a fossil, I think it’s one of those bits of art that is like clouds in the sky as in you see what your imagination creates, both my daughters saw something very different and I’ve had to promise it to my eldest daughter as she absolutely loves it.
What did your daughters see? Lucky eldest daughter!Interesting that you see a fossil, I think it’s one of those bits of art that is like clouds in the sky as in you see what your imagination creates, both my daughters saw something very different and I’ve had to promise it to my eldest daughter as she absolutely loves it.
The sweet pea took probably about three hours in total, maybe a bit more, I get totally absorbed when I’m drawing, in fact I have to remind myself to move every so often otherwise my back seizes up!How many hours does it take, or is it one of those get absorbed, lose track of times.
Eldest saw a forest, there’s a lady standing in the mist in her peripheral vision but when she tries to ‘look’ she disappears, youngest saw a warrior, like a samurai swirling his sword. They both have rather vivid imaginations!What did your daughters see? Lucky eldest daughter!
I wish I had a talent! Still trying to find mine ...
From June 8th.See ive lost all track of time. I actually missed my routine dental appointment yesterday. My phone went ting, ting yesterday morning i didnt think anything of it. Thought it was another youtube video notification. Went out with the boys. Wasnt till about 10am when i was sat on the carriage driving chunky i looked at my phone. It had come up with dental reminder. So im looking at next weeks calendar for the appointment. I had it in my brain it was next week. Couldnt find it on my phone calendar, so relooked at the notification which was for 8.30 yesterday. Then it dawned on me. When i made the appointment 6 months ago i made it for a morning so i could do the appointment then go straight to work. Normally i book for last appointment of the day, have done for years. But with my busy working schedule thought it would work better to try a morning appointment, as its such a rush to work, then go home to clean up, then to appointment. Now im not looking at my phone daily to check my work schedule i completely mis read the phone. You would have thought with so much spare time on my hands i wouldn't miss an appointment at all.
When i got in at lunchtime i looked on the website, fortunately they have a notice saying due to covid they are closed. Phew what a relief. I was dreading it. As they charge a hefty fee if you mis there appointments. A fee i cant afford. I didnt fancy going to the appointment anyway under the circumstances. Im hoping they are still closed anyway. I didnt try to ring. Just hope no bill turns up in the post. At least i can say well i checked your website and argue if it does.
Wonder when dentists will reopen.
They are lovely. I do that sometimes with my photos.View attachment 102643View attachment 102644
Decided to try making birthday cards as have a few birthdays coming up, love these so much, just a little water colour and ink, not detailed at all but I love the simplicity of them.
We need standard signs. All the road signs on the road are the same. You don't drive to another town and suddenly they are a different colour or gone completely.Ive felt anxious everytime ive gone to the supermarket. That last trip with the sarcastic comment of didnt you see the sign has really got to me. I tried to look up the rule changes for the shop before i went so that i could feel happier but still i got flustered.
We popped out yesterday to the feed merchants. Mum rang up to check they have the dog food before we went but theyve stopped doing it regularly as the price has gone through the roof. Its special order only now. So it can take 3 weeks to get. So now we have to change the dog to something else along a similar line. So went to see what they offer as instock. They were really pleasant and it didnt feel like we were in an pandemic, we all just kept or distance and had a social conversation.
I think the small the shop the more normal things are. Its just whether you can get all you need in the small ones.
Absolutely agree about standardizing the signs. Also the system - our little local chemist, it's one out one in and queue outside. The local One stop, just go in. The signage = Tesco - arrows, one way system, Chemist - no one way system, One stop - footprints and one way system. The feed store, it's one out one in, no-one enforcing it, no signage. ? As for anxiety - we're in limbo at the moment - in lockdown, I knew what I was doing, this at the moment feels neither here nor there, and everyone seems a bit twitchy.We need standard signs. All the road signs on the road are the same. You don't drive to another town and suddenly they are a different colour or gone completely.
I realise shops need time to sort, but it's going to be every shop, plus outside.
Dare I say if you have a car, use it and avoid the town. The all under one roof is really appealing!
Sorry you are anxious, but in a way, maybe its the stage we are at? As things slowly open up, we are adjusting again? Glad it's not just me that feels overloaded.
