Sketches While Waiting

On-location sketch opportunities these days seem to mostly happen while I'm waiting so I'm restricted to the tools I have in my handbag at the time. Here's a couple of ladies at Tilly’s Cafe while waiting for my prescription to be filled at a nearby pharmacy. 

Also the car park outside Casey Allied Health while J was with the physio.

On another day, a longish sketch opportunity while J was with the Physio also yielded an unexpected discovery! I thought Ceylonese By South Ceylon next door was a night-time dining venue but it was in fact also open for morning coffee and Indian snacks. We enjoyed a coffee break but also went home with a tray of take-away curries!

This Week In August

No not a sporting injury for J but an attempt to improve on failed hand surgery done some years ago. Sweet homegrown oranges from our lovely neighbours and energized TV viewing. Thrilled to watch it all LIVE and be a part of history in the making! Glad our Salvia Shangri-la plant is making its yearly appearance and the seniors' lunch at La Baguette was small but satisfying.

This Week In July

This week in July. Cold, rain, aches and pains are keeping me at home but a few sketches around the house and the exciting world news is keeping us occupied!

Here's another from my "This Week in..." series. 

We have grave concerns for our 5 Longfin Zebra Danios (how their fins have grown!). We got them last summer and were told by the fish shop that they would be fine to overwinter in our outdoor unheated bowl pond. Unfortunately it has been an unusually cold winter.

Here's hoping the warmer days and nights ahead will help get them through.
