Day 2846: easey-peasey?

three easy cards: ink brush, collage.

Three quick and easy cards. The first (L) drawn first, then collage.

The second (middle) all collage, no drawing.

The third (R) collage first, then drew on top.

Question: which do think works best?

"easy-peasy"!

I woke up this morning anxious to get to my artwork!

Still organizing but wanting to do stuff, drawing & collage. 

I had a good dream for a change, 

and woke up energized (also for a change). 

Then a knock on the door, more excitement.

The best part is talking mask to mask with delivery hunk GH#1

Singapore is using a robot dog to encourage social distancing

Made by Boston Robotics, "Spot", I found him fascinating.

I found videos for you depending on your degree of interest.

    Little interest? 30 sec. here;  More interest?:1 min.15:  here.

Hooked?  A 5:45 minute video, here.

There's no price listed, but roboticists have estimated 

that it could cost as much as a new car.

2GN2S:

Royal Ballet dancers keep moving under lockdown.

On March 16, London's Royal Opera House and its renowned dance company, the Royal Ballet closed to the public amid the coronavirus pandemic. Free online broadcasts of past performances have kept audiences connected with the Royal Ballet,

but keeping dancers active and connected with one another 

has posed unique challenges.

Morning warm-ups, six-hour rehearsals, and live shows are the backbone of a dancer's normal life, they need spacious studios 

with high ceilings to practice choreography and hone their technique, far more space than in the average London flat.

"It's encouraging to see all my colleagues up on the screen when I'm taking a class, and they're all in their kitchens or their lounges, or their hallways, wherever they can find space to move. It becomes very normal now to see people's cats and pets," O'Sullivan said.

definitely TMI:

My hair is on time-out!

I heard myself say that yesterday as I talked to Ann. 

From a safe distance, on the phone, almost daily. 

As soon as I said it, I knew it would today's headline. 

You see my hair has taken this retirement thing to the extreme. 

Half have left for Florida!

What's left isn't happy not to have gone and I suspect 
are sneaking a few out with every shower and brushing. 

My hair used to be so accommodating, but not now. 

So, as a time out, I have pulled all remaining hair 

into an old lady bun, until things get better. 

My hairdresser, Julie, says that it happens with age.

I say no, it's a mutiny and they are all awol.
