I bought this juice a while back thinking it was good and affordable. It does not taste nice! I realised that it’s not 100% juice, but is made of tomato paste and stevia (artificial sweetener) and artificial tomato flavour (whatever that is)…yuk! Those are two real tomatoes in front of the bottle though!

Here is an evening sketch of something I took out of the fridge. I don’t know why but I’ve never been a big fan of sweetcorn (especially when it’s on the cob – maybe because I end up with so much stuff stuck in my teeth). This sketch makes the sweetcorn look more wrinkly than it actually was.

For this sketch I just drew the first thing I saw – for the nth time – while I chatted to my my mum using the MyTello app (which is a great replacement for the long lost Skype).

My wife bought loads of fruit at the market then a few days later headed to Davao leaving me to have to quickly eat a massive pile of fruit before it went off. This sketch includes the remains of a dragon fruit…and some tomato juice which I regularly drink with a dash of Worcestershire sauce in it!

On this day I reached “peak pizza”, which I never thought I would do. We bought two-for-one family sized pizzas from Domino’s but these two slices were left after several days of eating them. So I discovered that you can have too much pizza – and these particular ones weren’t actually that great (and were even delivered a bit late). The veggie one was not very cheesy and was kind of soggy!

I did this sketch the day before I had some new (white) bookbinding glue delivered. After my last fuzzy sketch I decided to do this one with my TWSBI pen (which seems to be a little blocked with noodler’s black ink).

I was just keeping my eye in with this sketch but was not really concentrating. I also realised that I have sketched almost exactly the same thing before (see sketch No.78-2471) …when I think I did a better job! Somehow this sketch has come out rather fuzzy.

On this day, wondering what to draw, I just took something out of the fridge. This is chard or snow cabbage – which we often use as a replacement for spinach. In the Philippines it is called “pechay”. I sketched the same thing in 2020 (see sketch No.1547).

These are seed pods from the Albizia Lebbeck tree or “woman’s tongue tree”, that I picked up when we were at Manila Memorial Park. The seed pods rattle loudly in the wind and the continuous rustling sound is where the reference to a woman’s tongue comes from. This is what early botanists thought anyway – but personally I find this a bit sexist and derogatory.
