A watercolour study made for the second time today.
The sketch, also the second today.
Today's post shall be short due to the sort of day I have had.
Today I was off with my friends and housemates. We had some to-doing to get to and as usual, what is meant to be a few tasks quickly done, become more tasks taking far more time than planned. And for the SECOND time, my friend and I have been trying to get a normal monthly mobile plan here in the UK. He is now offically a UK citizen again, so using the umbrella of his citizenship we were meant to get our phones sorted.
He had to wait a month to get his UK bank account set up (something I am NOT allowed to have, far too long a story to go into right now) Yet, today, after waiting 45 minutes, we get things set up and then my friend forgot his pin number to his new account. So, nothing accomplished. Oh well, off I was from them to my cafe to try and get some work done.
I get settled into my little corner and begin a sketch. I like it. It's going to be another in my Dogs and their English animal friends, another pug and hedgehog. I liked the composition, using images as cues to draw up my idea. I even was able to get some digital watercolour in before having to catch my bus home.
A pot of tea made and settled into my room to get to work.
The computer will not turn on. Then I drop it on my tile floored room. Now a corner of the screen is cracked, not so bad that it WOULD interfere IF I could get the blasted thing to turn on.
Again, at the end of another day without much to show for it.
I was frustrated ALL my work from today as well as any other work stored on that computer is now GONE unless I can get it working again.
Thus, today's shared sketch and watercolour is a second go.
But, I had to get it sort of out there to make the tail end of the day feel as if it was NOT a waste.
I have SO much to do.
Including getting more things up for #makersplace and making a post about that as they are about to launch out of beta and contacted me to add more things.
It is SO hard to get work done whilst being still very much in limbo...I cannot complain and this is not a complainging post, but rather a chance to redeem the day and say to the great digital world and the God's of creativity and time management:
I shall overcome and get into a working routine.
Well, I hope all of your days were better met than mine. All we can do is try and make up for lost time and to turn a day around from bad to good in any way we can.
I am also behind in visiting all of you and for that I am truly sorry.
Until tomorrow, when I can start a new, have a lovely evening. At least I can think that in America it's only 1:15 in the afternoon, so it can feel less like I'm at the tail end of the day.
