I put in a few hours today in writing and making new Darths & Droids comics, trying to build up the buffer a bit. I’ve been doing them close to the last minute ever since I got back from Europe a few weeks ago, and wanted to get ahead again. I’m a couple of strips ahead now, which is good.
I realised I forgot to mention another thing I did yesterday, which was to file our tax returns for the last financial year. I’m still impressed by how fast it is these days, with the new automatic recording of everything relevant. It used to take hours to do it but now it’s just click a few buttons, enter a deduction or two, and you’re done in 10 minutes.
Today we went for a walk with Scully, about 11:00. We went to a cafe so my wife could get coffee, but I decided to get an early lunch, or brunch or whatever you want to call it. I don’t normally eat sweet things for breakfast, so this was a rare chance to get something like that, and I decided to order waffles. which came with banana, strawberries, and melted chocolate drizzled all over. They were really good, but loaded with sugar! I think it’s a good thing I don’t eat stuff like this much. (I think I can probably count the number of times I’ve eaten waffles in my life on my fingers.)
While sitting there we both did some sketching. I started drawing a car on the street, intending to make it a scene including the cafe tables, but I made the car a bit big and couldn’t fit any tables into the drawing! It went kind of wonky with the perspective too, so I’m not keen to show this one off.
For dinner tonight I made okonomiyaki, which I’ve been kind of craving for a while, but had to buy the sauce last week. Healthier than waffles!
