The Duck Race.

As you know (or may not know haha), I came home from uni for the weekend and this is the reason. The Duck Race (held at Stowmarket, Suffolk). I’ve been the past couple of years with my boyfriend and his family, and I love it. Main thing being: DUCKS! I love ducks (hint hint - anyone feel free to buy me a pet one). It’s always great to see some real ones get in the way. This time it was a mummy duck and her babies. There was a girl shouting extremely loudly, “THERE’S REAL DUCKS! THERE’S REAL ONES!” Bless her, she was even more excited then I was. She reminded of the little girl from ‘Despicable Me’, when she gets the cuddly toy unicorn and says “It’s so fluffy!” I know what I mean haha. The weather wasn’t the best, it was probably because I had my legs out and the sun would rather hide from their whiteness, but people were smiling and enjoying themselves. I’m already looking forward to next years one and of course I had to have souvenirs. I got a stegosaurus dinosaur ducky and argh! A pirate one to go with my collection.

Killed The Unicorns.

"I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns."

I achieved another drawing today; I didn’t think I would manage it two days in a row. I woke up earlier then I have done in weeks and was awake, it felt good, but unusual and I even had breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages on toast - it was delicious). I don’t have a normal sleeping pattern at all and I so dearly want it back. I decided to relax for a while, seeing as I had plenty of time to waste today, BIG MISTAKE. I fell asleep for a couple of hours and woke up feeling more tired after my nap then I did before. That just doesn’t make sense to me.

I thought it was then a good time to sort myself out and get on with my new daily task. I had decided on the quote this morning and I’m afraid to say, it is from another Ice Age film. I got my sketchbook and pen and put on a film, yes you guessed it, Ice Age, the fourth one if you cared to know. I chose a couple of pictures to work from and off I went on another magical drawing adventure (without actually moving anywhere of course).

I might possibly do a few more like the two I have already completed, we shall see. There are a few more quotes I want to use, I’m just not sure which ones and what to illustrate them with. But I am enjoying myself, which is the main thing, I think.
