Went to Mumbles this morning with Husb and Maminlaw and I FELL OVER! In the street. Just like that with no warning. I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up on the pavement cut, bruised but otherwise no damage except to my pride. There was nothing for it but a medicinal icecream soContinue reading “OUCH! And Icecream.”

The Match!
Husb and I went to a local pub to watch today’s rugby international, Australia vs The British and Irish Lions. It was a terrific atmosphere and we had lunch there too, pie and mash. They make their own pies so I indulged myself with a lamb and mint pie with shortcrust pastry and cheesy mash.Continue reading “The Match!”
Boy And The Big Apple
Sunshine today and a lovely evening spent with Husb and small nephew in Mumbles, splashing about on the beach and taking a stroll up to the newly renovated Big Apple to buy some Joe’s icecream. There’s a new line – sugar free Joe’s! I’ve died and gone to heaven!!!!! Nephew is all skinny arms andContinue reading “Boy And The Big Apple”
More Kitteh Scribbles And Food Porn
Got almost to the end of the day without doing ANY art. So I grabbed the piece of kitty scribbling I started the other night and carried on with it. Sparta was mooching around on MY chair so I did a few scribbles of her and then just played with my old-fashioned dip pen andContinue reading “More Kitteh Scribbles And Food Porn”
Elderflower Scribbles
We stayed with friends just outside Brighton and got up early on Sunday morning to walk up to the cliff top and explore the green lanes for elderflowers. We make elderflower cordial every year but a couple of years ago had a problem getting one of the ingredients. In Boots the Chemist, Husb asked anContinue reading “Elderflower Scribbles”
Chalk And Cheese
I’m trying to push myself out of my comfort zone, which is tiny ink drawings made into weeny little sketchbooks. I’ve promised myself that I’ll try to work in chalk and charcoal on a larger at least once a week. Here’s the head of a man onto a rough hand-made paper that I bought atContinue reading “Chalk And Cheese”
Hell And Cake
I HATE shopping. It’s my idea of hell, unless I’m buying books or tools. I had to buy some new clothes to replace some that were literally falling to pieces so I spent two hours in shopping hell (Dante knew nothing…NOTHING…) and bought two pairs of leggings, a t-shirt and a sports bra. Result. That’sContinue reading “Hell And Cake”
Two Blokes I-podding
It’s meat-free Monday so we went to our favourite curry house, The Vojon, for some sag ponir and garlic rice, sag aloo and tarka dal. Lovely. Restaurants are a good place for a quick scribble and I spotted these two chaps opposite, chatting and i-podding. Scribbled into my A6 blue silk recycled sketchbook with aContinue reading “Two Blokes I-podding”
Cat ‘n’ Cheeses
I spent a busy morning at the print workshop, making a small edition from a photopolymer intaglio plate for the excellent Leftovers IV. It’s a little portrait of Sparta Puss, my furry feline felon. When I got back, I settled into my comfy chair with a modest cheese sandwich and a mug of tea forContinue reading “Cat ‘n’ Cheeses”
