                                      I drew this on Saturday when waiting for a script from the chemist.

Sir Edward Arms His Surfs

 

I always thought the name, 'serfs' for peasants somewhat funny and students were always misspelling it as 'surfs' but what if it was not a misspelling?

Patient Waiting, Monash Hospital

 Taking relatives to medical appointments is a good occasion for sketching people. The hospital also had some interesting art hanging on the walls.

Lake Guthridge Goose

 I am playing around with my first lake Guthridge drawings and the goose in the foreground adds more interest to the scene.

   

Lake Guthridge 2, of Geese & Joggers

 I liked the particular view so much I made a second visit on Sunday. It was another sunny, fine day. A girl jogging stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a big goose in her tracks. I asked her if she was scared of it. She gave a nervous giggle and made a large detour around the goose to come out on the other side of it! The goose was totally peaceful! Anyhow, that has been logged in my brain as an idea for a future cartoon but unfortunately, I was unable, at the time, to include a sketch of the jogger. The goose sits quietly not far from the picnic table. That man coming towards it suffered no attack from the creature.

   

Lake Guthridge in May

 

How's the serenity? Saturday was a glorious Autumn 20C day with sun shining, joggers out and birds hopeful for some scrounging. The birds included geese, swans, ducks, waterfowl and seagulls.

  Yep, that's my foot - just had to get in there somewhere.
