Normally I’d update the image on the original post but this is the update on the Boilermoo pic to show how it went from the original pic to the update.

In other news rubbish week at college. That’s all for the mo’.

Yesterdays bus draw Brushes doodle is:

Animated file:

Hurrah. Enjoyed the bus trips both times last night and even finished the night on an EXCELLENT gig at the Boileroom by Anna and the Octaves (had gone to see Natalie Ross but she kidnapped me and said to enjoy the show. Everyone should have a shoulder Natalie). This came out of that:

Which is not entirely finished – ran out of time and source material of a photo that I would normally take was clobbered by being out of battery grr. Hey ho.

Then, back home post work to find daughter throwing up as she had been from 9 pm and would continue to do til 2am and then start all over again at 6. Poor lil wotsit. I’m on bucket duty now, in fact, although she’s been asleep since 12 ish.

ooooh boy life eh? Good and bad all mixed in a blender and given a good shake up.

Couple of bits:

1: As a brief addition to the Wall-E story (see previous post) son boy made me smile the other day with something that was so perfectly timed he couldn’t have planned it better if he’d tried.

We’re trying to clamp down on the licking of bowls after a meal and the using of cutlery instead of fingers. It’s slow progress but the other day we were confronted with something that left us laughing:

Son boy: “Licking plates is full of contentment!”
Us: shocked and surprised. “Who says that on the tv?” (our question to many things it seems…)
SB: “LIttle one! Woo woo”
Us: “mo?” (the cleaner robot from Wall E).
SB: “Yes!”

Brief pause as you can hear gears working in our brains. Then we worked out he meant ‘foreign contaminant.’ And had misheard it in such a suitable manner! Small windows open. Ironically Mo seems to be the favourite character in the house at the moment although me, personally, I like Eve the most Must be the inner Apple fanboy in me showing its colours (or lack of them but smooth, smooth curves.)

2: open exhibition at the Boileroom between 4 and 6 on monday 22nd with my art students. If you want to pop along give me a shout.

3: hmmm think that’s it. Trying to get some Messenger promotion done but this is so totally not the time of year to do it and people that do talk to me tend to be doing so with one eye on a list of other things to do

4: As a signifier of how busy I am (two assignments for the teacher training due in on the same day – thanks guys) I had an Xbox 360 arcade to replace the one that stopped working for my birthday a week and a bit ago… Yet to get it out of the box. Hope it works
