I was at Red Cross to give whole blood, but the phlebotomist let me know that I would be an ideal candidate for platelet donation. Maybe next time, I said, knowing that it involves the immobilisation of both arms for two hours. In the recovery area, this bald poster child added her persuasion. So yeah, next time🩸.
I spent too much time in waiting rooms today.
This sketch was done in the few minutes while I waited my turn at the hairdresser’s.
Lauren and I had lunch in a little park in Beverly Hills; apparently we were in an historic cactus garden.
I actually don’t mind doing laundry, so I guess I can risk parking here 😂
Where am I, Narnia? I wish! For some reason my mother-in-law’s house includes a lamp post in the middle of the back lawn. I guess it’s a good place to look for your car keys.
Built in 1929, the guard house of the historic Adamson House sits just inside the entrance gate. I’d love to have a peek inside, but it’s not open to the public; it’s the private residence of a State Park ranger. Is it full of spectacular tiles, like the main house, I wonder?
I met up with Urban Sketchers Los Angeles at Santa Monica Pier yesterday; it was much easier to sketch the seated sketchers than the tourists walking by!
After many months without a working cell phone — it wouldn’t hold a charge for even a minute — I finally got a new battery in it today. Voila! I can unplug and it stays charged! New life for the 8 year old phone! Certain friends are going to be very happy about this. You know who you are.
It’s fun to come across living organisms in unexpected places.
