So, since last Friday I've had a doozie of a sore throat, like I've never had before. It's been so bad I didn't eat much for a couple of days as it was too painful to swallow anything - great for weight loss though, you should try it.
Along with that came the usual feeling that I'd gone 15 rounds with Amir Khan as the rest of whatever virus I'd picked up kicked in. All of which meant I wasn't really in the mood for doing much..... So I didn't for few hours, then the boredom began. I get bored very easily and usually it can go one of two ways, either things get broken / set on fire / blown up, or I'll find something constructive to do. I went for constructive this time and went and found Mrs Dewi's sketchpad and an old pencil I use in the garage and started doodling a few things. I've not done any drawings for years, but did it a lot when I was younger, especially cars - I was always drawing cars as a kid so it was nice to get back into it.
I may actually start doing a bit more of it now I've started again. I've found a nice technique in which I do the sketch then scan it and run it through Photoshop - there are some nice effects to be had, it's certainly something that hadn't even been thought of last time drew anything.
Efforts so far - they can only get better

Yes - feeling a bit better today. Throat is anyway, at least it's stopped bleeding now after I've eaten something and I can actually swallow without it hurting too much. I've never had a sore throat as bad as that, it was horrible. Just feeling a bit mangled the now, but off out to walk the dog in a bit to get some fresh air, I've not been out of the house for a few days - going stir crazy here. Might go down to the garage later and wax the Zed and clean it out a bit, the seats need a bit of leather treatment on them too.
