Fun List of Fun

I finally got around to making a poster of fun things, restful ideas, and habits to build in August.

Here’s my list of fun for this month:

Drawing practice

Glamour Pig

While my sister’s family was on vacation, I helped take care of my nephew’s Guinea pigs.

Just for fun, I sent them pics of the piggies every time I was over there to feed them and this particular photo cracked me up.

Doesn’t this critter look glamorous? Like a cartoon character who will speak softly and wrap all the other characters around her paw?

A photo of a very furry, black and white Guinea pig in a white cage. She is stood part way up with her paws on a ledge and you can see one of her eyes. Because the black hair around her eyes is surrounded by white hair her eye looks huge and perhaps like she is wearing mascara.

Focus on Fun for August

Yep, that’s the plan!

I’m not taking the month off or anything as marvellous as that but I am planning my fun before I plan anything else.

I don’t have a full plan yet but I have a vague shape of it in my head and I’ll soon have it on paper.

I will probably take some practice to get used to it but it’s worth a try.

Fingers crossed.
