I’m off for an ultrasound at some point today, part of ongoing tests and monitoring while I’m #stuckinWestern hospital with a stomach disorder.
So I’m fasting and have been since 6am, no breakfast for me. Apart from all these little pills, my medication for the day.
I hope the ultrasound comes soon, and then I can eat again, I’m starving!
Although still #stuckinWestern Hospital I have managed to sketch Edinburgh today, thanks to the March issue of I-ON Edinburgh.
I’ve walked past Tweeddale Court before, its just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh’s Old Town, but I don’t think I’ve sketched it. And thanks to a feature in I-ON magazine I now know a little of the history of this beautiful building, which dates back to 1576.
Take a look next time you’re on the High Street, its just opposite the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and is now home to The List offices.
Thanks to I-ON Edinburgh fir the photo.
Morning sketchfans, three faces from the magazines I’ve been reading while #stuckinWestern hospital.
I can only apologise to Harry, he was the last one and I was pretty tired.
Hopefully I’m getting out today for some family time, back in on Monday though. Fingers crossed I continue to improve and feel better. Thanks again for all the well wishes and encouragement.

Bunting anyone? Another sketch from my head today as still #stuckinWestern hospital, although hopefully out soon.
After reading in the paper about all the upcoming Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations coming up I thought I’d try and sketch some hanging bunting.
What do you think, perhaps it needs a little colour. I like it just in pen though.
These are the monsters currently living in my belly, scratching and clawing and taking big bites out of my insides.
Hello there, after a few bad weeks and an ongoing stay at Edinburgh’s Western Hospital I am once again feeling up to sketching.
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and hopefully I’ll be back home soon.
Until then you may have to put up with a few hospital related sketches 🙂
A new #WhereArtI sketch quiz this morning, have you noticed this character on the way into town recently? I spotted him on Saturday, slithering his way up the wall of a building. Tell me where he lives, if you can.
Include hashtag #wherearti with your answers either below, on facebook or twitter. Remember to keep an eye on my facebook page for clues throughout the day. Answers to come by this time tomorrow, and although for now the quiz is just for fun the first three correct answers will get a mention plus a link from my site if you make it onto the wherearti? leaderboard, here
And please remember to forward this on, the more who play the better. Good luck
Bathtime in the sketcher household!
The twins had a cracking time at their first birthday party yesterday and this morning Dad is enjoying a few minutes peace after a busy day!
My wife and I are busy making cakes for the twins first birthday tomorrow. I can’t believe it has been a year already, and what a busy year! We’ve had plenty of highs and lows and are loving every minute.
So a celebration tomorrow and while Joanne decorates the main cake these are my fairy cakes about to go in the oven.
Don’t worry those who are coming tomorrow, there are more than this!
Black pen freehand with blue colouring added on the laptop.
I took the twins to see the Pinhole photography exhibition on at the moment in Edinburgh’s Botanical Gardens.
Some very interesting images are on show, and for me surprisingly wide range of images and uses for the medium. I recommend a visit if you like abstract photography.
Back in the warmth of the John Hope Centre just now, we returned via the pond and said hello to a swan and some ducks. (If you were thinking they were in the exhibition too!)
