Thanks Larry. Lots of potential with that line.
20210! I wonder what Earth will be like in 18,189 years time? A big pile of plastic and just cockroaches and rats I expect. Ok, that’s cheered everyone up! Better get scribbling then.:D

A railway runs through the middle of the house...or a railway runs thru the middle of the house Alma Cogan or Rusty Draper, I imagine at least a few around here will know the song from 1956, and I don't mean nearly 8.00pm I was 5 years old when this was popular on both sides of The Pond...life was simpler then, it's all a bit scary these days. The pink line is the scribble.
Surely there no rush then?Quote:

When I was about seven or eight I had a terribly strict school teacher, but at one point she became sick and was replaced by a nice student teacher from Canada (Miss Chevalier!). She read to the class the Tove Jansson book Finn Family Moomintroll. This had a quite an impact on my young imagination. I particularly remember being fascinated and slightly scared by the mysterious Hattifatteners.
Anyway enough of the waffle, here's my scribble inspired by those Hattifatteners and a sketch more like the ones from the book.

Great scribbles this month.
I've recently taken a chance and bought a used camera which has reinvigorated my photography hobby.
The camera (an Olympus) has a built-in art filter for making grainy black & white photos, which I am really enjoying. I've additionally fiddled about with the shot a bit more in PGD. What's that you say? You couldn't tell. :D

The water effect in the photo was done with the trusty old wave distortion filter which I believe is now missing from DP+. I’ve made a few variations of the photo along with original which I’ll post in the photo section of the forum.
Luckily I was still living down south when Hull was hit with those floods. It must have been terrible. I can’t wait to go into Hull again and take some pics.
When I was a young lad I had a map on my wall of all the rivers of Britain and what type of fish they held. From memory the Don was one of the few marked “too polluted” for fish!
Who knew that The Hattifatteners were a thing. Methinks, Jono that Miss Chevalier made a big impression on your junior self! (and probably on all the young males in your class). Having googled, it looks like the Hattifatteners have a big following. Again, who knew?!
Hehe Miss Chavalier. If only she knew!
As much as anything it was the stark contrast between being slapped around the legs for not listening, to that of wanting to listen to exciting stories and being given interesting activities to do.
When she left to go back to Canada she drew every child in the class a cartoon character of their choice. Mine was Bugs Bunny - which unbelievably I still have!
