BRINGING IN MARCH -

I worked on this sketch quite a bit today.  I changed it up many times.  It started out as a ficus plant drawn with colored pencil and then I wasn't satisfied so worked with it many different times and finally stopped here.  Then I thought - ah a good way to start out March with a sketch whether it was what I intended to sketch or not.

I've been in a very even mood - not particularly inspired at all and not at all down .  I came off of about 8 days of flu and have energy to do things outside but today it is snowing so I made myself create something.   I could actually feel inspiration coming in so I hope to make more art in March. 

How are you all doing? 

Mighty Fine Coffee

Jorge blew himself out overnight and Sunday blossomed into spring this morning.
I had fixed the broken cat flap yesterday in a fit of testosterone and so the kitchen was warmed nicely by the weak sun by the time I got up at 8.30 am.

Mary,Dotty and I walked through the scores of dog walkers and kids on scooters that lined the Dyserth Walkway and went for breakfast at Y Shed ( English translation The Shed duh!) 
The cafe does lovely illy Coffee and the best bacon sandwich this side of Offa's Dyke

.

I saw an old friend with his daughter at one of the tables
Our friendship had kind of come to an end a few years ago after he had left his wife for another woman. I regret not being able to have been impartial at the time.
But sometimes you just have to act the way you do.
We shook hands and chatted briefly and politely.

The Coffee was indeed a delight as was my sandwich, which I shared with the dogs.
The walkway was sunny and somewhat crowded with walkers and I was reminded Gently of walks past around Central Park. So Jaunty and animated the atmosphere was.

Sunday jobs are on the agenda today
Car cleaning
Soup making,
Friend calling
More proper coffee and perhaps a doze in the chair by the window
