This was Graham’s day to go off and visit his mother, do shopping, fix small things… you know the routine. While in the market he picked up a colourful sow-grow-gather bucket of jalapeno chillies for me. Leastways, he says it was for me. I said thank you nicely and told him I’d water them but he’d have to sow and gather them.
Then, opening a small parcel that’d arrived while he was out, he handed me a genuine Disney Mickey Mouse lamp of some age. I said thank you for that, with enthusiasm. A shade for it will be a challenge but I’m sure I can come up with a template by watching Mickey Mouse cartoons.
And, finally, I picked up my sketchbook, took my pen in hand, and… froze. I know I have to do it. I know I have to draw every day. But starting, well, that’s the hard bit. I shall get over it.
