Ugh, my eyes feel gross and dry. Also blerghy because I had existential Sad for a couple of hours (it seems to have passed now, thankfully).
Some things!
# I am trying to level up my art by drawing for an hour every day, without fail. I've read quite a lot of posts recently that advocate spending as much time as you can per day. An hour is sometimes about my limit because of other things that need doing, and sometimes I just don't have the energy to devote more, because of said things. I also read a super patronising post by an artist whose work I quite like that said spending an hour a day for 3 weeks drawing will generally improve your skills, and that seems to be most where I'm taking the inspiration from, in spite of their being patronising.
I have managed four days in a row so far.
# I ranted on twitter about boob plates this morning because why not.
# I had an unexpected three mile walk home yesterday! Which mostly involves uphill, up a deceptively steep gradient (most the hills round here are like that, and the one into town is no exception). I'd got on the bus to come home after errands, the bus barely got out of the centre of town, and the front left tyre blew out. The driver said we could wait for the next one, but it was a twenty minute wait so, rather than hang around, I decided to walk home.
It was slightly stupid, given that my hips have been painful of late, but I mostly felt OK and, apart from a couple of places, the bus stops are fairly regularly spaced, so I was willing to quit if I had to. But I didn't. And I realised that the iron tablets must be doing me some good because, while my lungs got a little raw (I haven't done that walk in about a year, and I was probably walking faster than I needed to), I didn't feel as out of breath as I have been doing.

Do you have a link to that super patronising post? It sounds like something I'd be interested in reading :)

Heh. They managed to make the Finnish so real-looking that I actually spent several seconds trying to read it even though it was total nonsense.

I do! You may not find it patronising - I only really do because of the way he talks about needing motivation to work. It may be true in his case, because in another of his posts I've read, he said he didn't even want to be an artist, but it's not true in mine. I don't need to bribe myself to draw. Anyway, decide for yourself.
LOL! I wasn't sure if it was proper Finnish or not (being only vaguely familiar with it because of you), but I suspected it was possibly nonsense.
