Sleepless nights
Bring on dragons
In my dreams
Mutating into
Zebra themes!
This one is small
Six inches tall
His stripes help keep
Him safe when he’s asleep!
I think he’s cute
A magical hoot!

Doodled dragon
I’m still drawing dragons
Their appearance intrigues me. How do they not burn up from inside? They must have strong guts or lungs. If they belch do they singe their eyebrows? Silly things like how many legs do they have, two like a bird, or four like a lizard? If they have wings too does that make them an insect? So many questions, how long is their tail and is it prehensile? How big are their wings and how do they keep aloft if they don’t have hollow bones like a bird….
Anyway they are mythical and magical so I don’t suppose any of these questions matter.

dragon for sale
Shall I buy this cute little stone dragon? Not at THAT price! Do you think I’m made of money? What about the coal it would cost to feed it? And its asleep now but what happens when it wakes up, sneezes, and burns my shoes or the bottom of my coat? I mean he’s really CUTE, don’t you just want to go ahhhh or oooo? I know I do. And what about (whispers) toileting? Can you get a dragon litter tray? Plastic would not do, too caustic……would need stainless steel. Then there’s the vets… innoculations, how do they inject through a stone hide? Something to think about.. I mean, are dragons prone to scale beetle, carbon cough, wing itch? Your guess is as good as mine… What do they drink? water- or lamp oil? I think I will go for a Gargoyle instead. Stick it on the roof and it will be happy drinking rain water and watching birds fly by…
Yeti Alert
Drawing of a Yeti. I thought I could write a children’s book about one, but I don’t really know what it would be about, I just liked the idea. Then I saw Terry Pratchett had written a story about a baby yeti. It’s due out on Christmas day on the BBC. I’m looking forward to it… Whatever my Yeti story is I hope its funny enough.
Borg Cat?
We will assimilate you…
Photo of a crunchy cat nibble on a cat plate. It just struck me that it looked a bit like a Borg…
The plate was made by PrintRun.co
I think it’s a victorian transfer print that has been repurposed for a modern market. But the image of it with the cat treat just made me chuckle.
MAA! (Messy Artist alert)
Spotted these photos of my watercolour paints today. I must be a messy artist!
Colour pans out
Messy splashes
I’m a real lout.
Red and blue
Green and yellow
My colour pallette
Is not very mellow.
Splish and splash
Water and pigment
A real stramasch
Let art ferment!
Cat boxed
You can’t see much-
But he’s in there!
Hidden and snug
Illusory emptiness
From his black hair
Turned up exposure
Won’t give him away
Snug and hidden
He’ll sleep all day!
Today’s limerick
Esther Chilton sets a limerick challenge every week, this was my offering for the prompt Glum.
Panto rehearsal
The stage is set. It’s been a few weeks since we started rehearsals but hopefully in February we’ll be putting on a performance of Beauty and the Beast. I don’t have a part, I’m just going to be in the chorus. I am struggling with doing dances, I don’t feel physically up to it. But I’m hoping to help with the scenery, although I’m hoping it won’t be as difficult as it was two years ago when I was a lot healthier.
The panto (pantomime), is a jokey, comedic play where an adventure happens but its funny and mostly for children. There are really ‘punny’ jokes, custard pies in the face, slapstick, kids telling silly jokes and basically mad cap fun. I’m looking forward to a great time next year.
