Sketchy 131

… a long time between sips at the posting well…

….been having trouble finding a thought to string together…

…my covid was officially “long” on Monday….

…am slowly finding structure between rest stops (every 40 minutes to an hour I have to have a sit down…but whose counting?)…

…and I am more able to make stuff now than I was a couple of weeks ago and can perform 1 physical task a day (plus a 20 minute walk most days)….

…the stuff I’d like to post from where I left off pre-covid feels like it’s losing it’s relevance to the stuff I’m eking out now….

…but….

…y’know….

…for the record like….

….(time for a sit down)….

….holy crap…I celebrate 10 years of blogging over the next couple of days….

…’spose I should actually be blogging so I can enjoy the virtual cake and drinkies I’m sure to receive….

…another faux cigar box label to add to your collection….

…your welcome….

Sketchy 129

….from an ancient idea in a previous sketch book…

…based on cigar box seals….

…I think I was gonna make some cigar box guitars and got obsessed with that label patterns….

….or something….

…(apologies for the blurry bits….this sketchbook is warped beyond good scanning from pressing too hard with the pens!)….

…it’s been some time…

…just look at the date at the bottom…

…post covid malaise is everything they said it would be….

Sketchy 126

….for some reason I now have kiwis with prosthetic wings and pointy teeth in my head….

…and maybe now you do to….

Blast It All To Hell

…if I’d called the sketchbook dump I posted early this week “A Fistful Of Pages”….

…then this one could have been titled “For  A Few Pages More”….

…curse you hindsight!

No Post On Sunday But I Have An Excuse

…first time I’ve missed posting since I started this blog….

…but this collection took me way longer to price out than I was expecting (2hrs longer!)…

…6 plastic cubes chock full of amazing stuff…three Dole banana boxes of ok stuff…and three more banana boxes that went straight to Restore (Hi Sarah!)…(Restore is our local Habitats For Humanity charity shop, support it please)…

…many thanks to my good friend Dee who had to rearrange her band practice (that’s kinda like re-herding cats after they’ve stampeded) because I wasn’t watching the time and don’t have a cellular device…

….I broke the “no-shop-on-your-day-off” rule as well, just to try and clear the floor…

…and I’m still processing it on Tuesday…

…nearly 1000 lps and associated  7″s…blues, country, folk…early NZ stuff….gems!!!

…so much good stuff I could poop…

…but don’t have time!

 

(teaser alert)

 

…never seen this one before…

…(radio play comedy thing I think)…

 

…must be old, because I’m pretty sure you can’t eat Kiwis anymore…(well, not in a restaurant anyway)….

…will start cleaning & pricing in a couple of weeks….

…once I’ve regained my blogging equilibrium.
