Gone Drawin'

​Bets £525
Loss on day £75

(Much more controlled staking)
 
Anne, back from the car-park that is the M6, asks “What happened in your day?” To which the only honest answer is “nothing”, and to which I answered, “I lost less today than any other day this week.”  
 
Actually, secretly, I have started drawing, you know, with a pencil. Drawing pictures of stuff on my desk, still life, I’d call it, except my versions, which are supposed to be figurative, are at best abstractions and at worst just nothing like the real thing. In short, I’m terrible at drawing. I always have been.

So, unlike writing, for which I at least have some aptitude, it’s also quite liberating. I might even buy a book on it. See if I can crack how to draw a pencil sharpener, which is what I’m failing miserably at right now. Eat your heart out Tracy Emin...
