2020

I guess that’s the artist in me. My washing line dies dramatically with all my clean washing on and I grab my sketchbook and ponder the comparisons of the detritus fest 2020 is turning out to be.
The year that in hindsight you’d have hibernated through.
The year if you’d have placed a bet on not going around the world in eighty one days. because you had to self isolate because there was a flight ban from the United Kingdom (so you had to deflate your balloon).
The year if you were a time traveller, you’d have skipped in favour of seeing something like paint dry on a Van Gogh or a Bob Ross (I’m not picky).
The year if you had the choice, you’d rub out 2020 and wake up in 2021, refreshed and optimistic your diet was going to be jaffa cake free.
Best pick up that washing. and put the kettle on.

Oh dear! I am so sorry about the wash! I totally agree with you about 2020. I wish it was a “wake me up” when this is over time. Coronafatigue is what my therapist calls it and she admits that she suffers from it , too. Hope it is not a huge pain to get your washing line back up and stable. Your fans from around the world have you in their prayers. Stay safe. It’s bloody hot here in Houston and we are still in the thick of it.

Hi Vicki, I’ve heard Houston is very much in trouble right now, I hope you stay safe and we can all see some better days ahead!

Well if it’s any consolation my washing line snapped as well, mine ended on the shed. Didn’t feel the need to sketch it though, just swore a bit then pulled my duvet cover out of the water butt.
Hmmm. Think of the warthog, things could be worse.
