Our cat, Captain Haddock, has decided that this old pizza box is his favourite spot at the moment and he spends all day camped out there, sleeping. Naturally every morning, when I get up (and several times during the day), I trip over the box. This sketch (very roughly) follows the prompt of “camp” for Day 22 of #Inktober2024.

Here is the second sketch I did on the way to Bantayan Island. After our flight to Cebu, we hired a car and drove north for a few hours to Hagnaya Port where we were to catch a ferry. While we waited for a fixer to sort out tickets (should have done it ourselves as we were ripped off a bit), we found this spot for lunch. Being a vegetarian, pizza is often the only option I can have from a menu…after this trip I think I’ll have a pizza free month.

I’ve had too much work to do recently but I found a little takeaway pizza place round the corner, so I ordered a nice veggie pizza to eat in my room.

Here is a sketch of our trusty bread maker. These days we use it only for making pizza dough…you can’t buy brown flour (or bread flour) very easily here, so unless you like white bread (which we don’t) there is not much point in using it to make bread. Somehow in my sketch it looks rather massive compared to the table…something up with my scale there!

I meant to draw this last night but was too tired. This was a really quick and simple drawing – plus I got to eat the pizza afterwards. I confess that I do like snack on cold slices of yesterday’s pizza.

Here is a quick sketch from Tuesday evening…of my leftover dinner! I made too many of these little pizzas and was thinking maybe I’d save this one for breakfast.

Here is a quick sketch done at Pizza Express while waiting for our lunch/dinner after an afternoon of pushing my mother around Freeport-Braintree – an outside shopping mall of supposedly discount factory outlet shops. I only had a short moment to draw the huge lampshade – the pizza came quickly!

The gas ran out (we use LPG) just before I could finish cooking dinner last night and as we seem to have no up to date number for delivery, we had to order out. No hesitation from our daughter who could live on pizza and who also claimed to be starving! This is a sketch of the debris.

After an interesting visit to the National Museum of Natural History we had lunch at Shakey’s (a pizza place). I find it strange how the museum doesn’t capitalise on the hundreds of visitors by running a cafe or even a souvenir shop. Our visit was marred by them not allowing any sketching inside (no idea why) and by our car keys mysteriously falling out of my bag which I was obliged to leave in the cloakroom. I checked carefully when I collected my bag and having found them missing, I asked the cloakroom attendant who knew instantly where they had “fallen”! This is the view from Shakey’s.
