{walking} because I can’t run. The pain level in my back/ leg is manageable if I take painkillers regularly, but that leaves me without my exercise outlet. Fitbit tells me I walked for 82 minutes today though, and covered 4.7 miles, which seems an optimistic interpretation, but I’ll go with it. Got to help, right?
{eating} BLT without the bread. It’s not quite the same, somehow. But if I can’t run, the only way to lose weight is to cut calorie intake.
{enjoying} the moon. And my lovely little camera. Wish I’d figured out the right settings to get the blue moon last night, but still quite pleased with tonight’s shots.
{watching} Covert Affairs. And wondering why we’re bothering. It’s really not that good, although playing spot the actor is fun. What these shows are missing is humour, snark just doesn’t cut it full time.
{reading} um. Can I get back to you on that?
{plotting} a blog reengineering. May crank out my programming mojo. Though really it will be about presentation. And design.
{experimenting} with new Winsor and Newton watercolour pens. They are rather fun. Second time around I mixed them with the watercolour box, it was really rather fun.
{also plotting} a story. I don’t know how to tell it. There’s this girl crashing around in my head, and also this old woman, and they’ve got things they want to say, but each set of words I’ve tried so far hasn’t quite been them. I’ll keep trying.

Snapshots.
Big went out this week and set up a volunteering position at a charity shop for her Duke of Edinburgh. She’s also got glasses now, which is very different. Small has started experimenting with drawing using the Stan Lee book on drawing the Marvel way (I’ll pop a link in later) and it’s great to see him exploring. Smallest did some seed planting with Tim today, they’re going to grow marigolds. Tigerboy has been doing some montessori style pincer work today, transferring unit cubes from dish to dish.
I’ve been painting, and I’ve also started a sketchalong with a couple of friends over on instagram. Here’s my day 1.
