Stuff & Nonsense
Here’s my dog doing what he likes 2nd best*: chasing and being chased. I’ve just treated myself to a Pixel 3 phone and of course, the first thing I did was to start checking out its camera. It’s… Marvelous!

Red bird in a tree
Why are you so very sad?

“HEY! I CAN SEE YOU,”
Said the large fiery orb
“AND I love YOUR SHOES”

We shall rest up, swap stories
And divide the loot

WE ARE A GROUP OF LADS THAT LEARN AND SING TRADITIONAL SEA SHANTIES AND THE ODD SUSSEX FOLK SONG.
WE OFTEN SING THEM WHILST DRINKING IN LOCAL ALE HOUSES AND HAVE NO AIM OTHER THAN SINGING WELL AND DRINKING BETTER.
WE ARE BASED ON THE SOUTH COAST OF ENGLAND WHERE THE SUN SHINES AND THE BEARDS HANG LOW.

It’s one of those drawings where I followed my nose. I went a bit craazy with the hatching as usual, but it feels so good to hatch! I did suggest they call the release “Straight Outta Littlehampton”.

This leaf is red hot
The tree had to drop it fast
And now it sizzles
