Cafe Sketchmeet

 I don't usually sketch friends I'm with but this occasion called for it! This was a nice cafe sketchmeet at Primary@Pioneer Cafe. With Covid restrictions on the number of people allowed in cafes and restaurants the outing called for online bookings and signing in at the front door with the newly instated govenment QR code. We were assigned a big table in the "Covid-new" outdoor area which on this cold winter day luckily was heated and the area sheltered with some sort of plastic awnings. 

Everyone set to sketching the so the big table was appreciated. 

We all ordered something to eat and as usual there was too much food. These weekly winter sketchmeets in cafes will not be good for the waistline!

First Covid Vaccine Day

Australia has been very slow in its Covid vaccine rollout but here we are at last – getting our first shot of AstraZeneca (a few weeks late due to being put off by the rare blood clotting side effect). 

Amazing! I didn't even feel the shot but we were both sick (fever, aches and pains) 18 hours later. This lasted a couple of days. 

We slept like the dead.

These sketches were done while waiting to go into the clinic and again while waiting the 15 minutes after the shot. 

Our second shot in 12 weeks.
