sketching

We were in Adelaide yesterday, for John to see the cardiologist, so far nothing to worry about but more tests to be done. A very windy awful day and we were home by lunch time. I have found a little bit of time to sketch, another mad bird, and a shell I picked up while beach walking and a feather.I like drawing mad birds! Not a lot being done, it has been so hot and I find that very tiring. Housework is being kept up to date and a bit of stitching and reading. I do find the heat we have been having, then the cool change very sleep making, but then when I think a nap might be in order the brain takes over...what to do? Not a lot of motivation at the moment, the garden is surviving but only just, and the old dog is finding surviving hard, I will be glad when we finally get some rain, nothing for weeks and everything is so dry and dusty looking. Sorry I shouldnt moan but too much summer heat and with at least another 2 to 3 months ahead its not much fun.
