...mispent youth.

Somthing a little different.
I found some old sketches in one of my mothers cupboards, about two dozen from about 1984 to 1986
I have changed some of the notes , my hand writing at 14 was appauling.
I appear to have added "dewhurst", the family butchers at the bottom of the cliff.
This is what made me smirk at this one.
So this would have been about the time Ronnie Regan started playing silly buggers with the eastern block.

This is sort of what dated the bunch for me. Not Sly Stones best film ever.

He he he , sheep skates.
What no red booties.!


My version of the prisoner I suppose. Made me smile though.
My chemistry teacher. Odd fellow.


First red boots spotted in 1985. Woot.
Odds & sods, probably when I stopped drawing & had my 12 year sabatical.

Conclusions :-
a) I mis-spent some of my youth.
b) I was an odd child.
c) I spent to much time thinking about sheep.
d) Iv'e not matured that much.

...worm that turned.

It's great when backup arrives.
One for the little guys everywhere.

The chocolate box selection. A brief guide :-

Females : The ones with soft centers.
Males : The ones with nuts.
Others : Fudge.

...fresh fish

Once again I started drawing somthing I knew was just plain wrong.

......,but did it anyway.


Why do we put dolphins in the same class a kittens & puppies?
Not to be eaten unless you're wicked evil, a social outcast or French.

...carrots.

Food processing.
...now we're cooking.

...can't be bothered.

Everyone has days when they just can't.

10 things I could not be arsed to do today.

...search for peace.

It was supposed to be the " International day of peace" today.
Well it wasn't very bloody peaceful in my office I can tell you !

...musical downfall.

A belated cartoon for my uncles 60th birthday, which I forgot.
So I'll make this into a card for him.

60 years.
Old enough to play the blues with authority.
Too old to remember the tune.

...borderline truths.

Borderline truths.
The grass is allways greener on the Stateside of the fence.
Nonsense.

Read into this what you will.

...teddy bears' panic.

...there was panic at the picnic as the fake fur flew and stuffing lay strewn amongst the dasies.

Ok people, It's officially Teddy Bear season. Go get 'em.



A headless teddy was found in the street at work today, makes me wonder how these things happen.....and then of course the mind wanders and you end up with......welll...this.

...birthday

36

Its a number
The first 35 were such fun.
I think Ill do it again.
Yay.

...high speed dirt.

Flirting with death.
How quickly I forget.
Iv'e been cursing myself this last week for being so unfit & not being able to run around the Rugby field as I did when I was 19.
I should be reminding myself that about this time last year I could not walk ten yards let alone run.

...number crunching blues.

Trying to find some reason why my calculations did not add up I came accross this little fella crunching his way through the lot.

....well that's my excuse.

...sour grapes.

Step 1: Take a bunch of sour grapes.
Step 2 : Crush the grapes.
Step 3 : Make 'em whine.

...forbiden fruits.

Who said fruit is good for you ?

...stingy bits.

So I was taking part of a group of beginers out sailing yesterday.
A young lady walks up to me before we go out on the water & hands me a box containing a syringe.

"If I get stung by a wasp I'll probably die, but take this please."

This kind of thing always makes me feel really good about looking after peoples welfare.
