The youngest has asked me to draw the new extended family pet on a piece of cardboard from memory. A full front view at that, with all limbs showing! Yikes. I’m a tad rusty but I gave it a go. Not my best work, but it looks like a rabbit, so I’ll take that win today.
On a high note, a fair few projects for the ole day job came in this week. That’s always a plus these days. Some 3D rendering work, more can labels, a sixteen page brochure edit, and a new illustrated icon, plus the long form event report that I started last week. Not too shabby. Invoices out, means money coming in!
Otherwise it has been a slow week, seeing as how I’m working more than usual (summer rush and all). I’m happy to see events going on, even though I wouldn’t be in attendance during this period in time. Given what I’m hearing from Nurse friends and reading in the news BA 5 is as transmissible as measles, which is insane. So I think more outdoor distanced fun is in store. Really having to think hard about going indoors anywhere but home and the cottage. I think we had all hoped to have this SarsCov2 thing behind us after three years, but it’s here to stay for the mean time. Blargh! Talk about a downer on the mood!
The kids had a bon fire with their grandpa the other night, and we counted thirty nine bug bites on the legs of our oldest, and another seventeen on the legs of the youngest. Both had full length pants on, like those Roots onsie deals, and were eaten for lunch by mosquitoes. It’s horrific to look at. Makes me itch just thinking about it. And my skin crawl just a bit too. Yuck. Ah! Now my head and neck itches.
