Husb and I went to the excellent Cinema & Co on Saturday night to see a film about graffitti back in the 1970s and then stayed on to hear performances y Craze The Jack, Rufus Mufasa, Unity and …. I’ve forgotten! Must be a senior moment.

Not So Hot
Today’s temperature wasn’t quite so hot and Sparta Puss almost got up off the pouffé, almost …… She managed to be a bit alert this evening and even took a leisurely stroll to hassle a woodlouse for a bit. Hastily scribbled into my Peter Pauper Press ‘The Cat’s Meow Journal’ with a ballpoint pen.
Heat Exhaustion
Sparta Puss looks the way I feel. It’s an unusually hot spell of weather and the heat is getting to us, cats, dogs, hairless apes and all. Sparta Puss has the right idea – crash out somewhere quiet until the cool night arrives. She can’t escape being scribbled though. Drawn with a ballpoint pen intoContinue reading “Heat Exhaustion”
Babysitting
I did some babysitting this morning. I didn’t sit on them, honest. We walked down to the beach, just a few minutes away and we’re having an uncharacteristic heat wave, so it was lovely down there, with lots of people enjoying the sand. The sea was right out but there were a few pools leftContinue reading “Babysitting”
Cat On A Laptop Tray
My cat, Sparta Puss, has taken my laptop tray away from me. It’s one of those trays with a beanbag underneath and I left it hanging around with the beanbag side up one day recently, and since then it’s been hers!Here it is scribbled into my little notebook by Peter Pauper Press.
Another Scribble In The Dark
Drawing at gigs in the near dark is good practice as I have to squint to see the basic details of what’s in front of me and get them down quickly before people move too much. It sharpens my instincts and improves my drawing in the light. I did a load of drawings at theContinue reading “Another Scribble In The Dark”
I’m A Rock Chick But ……..
Husb and I were out in Cardiff on Tuesday night, at The Moon venue, to see the awesome poet, Rufus Mufasa and her friends, a crazy crew of rappers, poets and musicians. Now I’m a headbanger and rock chick and I’m not usually in to any other sort of music but the hip hop andContinue reading “I’m A Rock Chick But ……..”
A Modern Interior
I went visiting today and had a scribble, of course. I don’t often do interiors and still life but I think that maybe I should do more. When I see historical paintings in galleries it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that these were paintings of modern houses and possessions in their day, aContinue reading “A Modern Interior”
Variations On The Spoken Word
I went to Rufus Mufasa’s album launch last night at Cinema & Co in Swansea and it was a fantastic explosion of word performance, so different to traditional poetry performances, so energetic and angry and joyous and funny and full of life. And so varied. She had invited lots of other performers to joinContinue reading “Variations On The Spoken Word”
Cube Head And Bright-eyed Aliens
Husb and I went to Santa’s Parade in Swansea’s City Centre on Sunday evening. I thought the best float and costumes were the ones with @Swansea2021, our city’s bid to be UK City of Culture in 4 years time. Lots of artists made costumes to go along with the float, which was a giganticContinue reading “Cube Head And Bright-eyed Aliens”
