….last one of the “mind maps”….

…a request from Dee…

….mind snapped….

…don’t usually do requests…

…but she did ask nicely…

…and that’s enough of that…

….two for one deal….

…because everyone needs more indecision and farting….

….mmmm…indecision….

…maybe….maybe not….

Sketchy 145

…more maps of the mindless….

….yep….that’s really what goes on inside my head….

Sketchy 143

…was sitting in front of my drawing board struggling to concentrate on painting because I was sure there was something else that I’d told myself that I needed to do before lunch…

….laundry….check….

….prepare and start crockpot….check….

….dishes….check…

…new long-covid busting breathing exercises at the correct time intervals…..check….

….scan pages of sket…..shit…..

….aaaand…..done….

…(thing at the bottom is a “mind-map”…alleged thought focuser that I toyed with because I assumed clarity of mind was something I’d lost to covid…..

…you start by putting something at the centre and jotting down your immediate thoughts and connecting with your other thoughts….

….er…you should probably google it as my explanation is of something I tried and dispensed with before Xmas!…..

…stay tuned for where that leads)….

…for the first few pages of a new sketch book I’m always at a loss as to what to draw….(exacerbated by post covid bullstuff in this case)…

….just to get the ball rolling as it were

…but upon reflection…

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)….
