They passed a
building that had no roof. Iron recalled a story from this corner of
town. Eight women built a rocket in their attics over the course of
six years. They wrote a book about their exploits, sales of which
went through the roof.
The ladies managed
to get their rocket launched. Unfortunately, they never returned. It
was presumed, they were loft in space.
Man, I still feel awkward with the ‘through the roof’ punchline. It doesn’t matter how far detached you get from the original joke, it’s always there at the back of ya mind.
Iron marvelled at
the multicoloured liquids bottles inside the window. Every colour she
could imagine. Deep reds; Berry purples; Sunset yellow; Burnt orange;
Apple green. She was in awe. Cocktails from around the world
preserved inside.
“I think I knew
the barmaid, a hulking great spider robot,” pondered Copper.
Iron raised up on
her hind legs, front claws against the window to get a better look of
the inside.
“She quit bar
work,” continued Copper, “and become a web developer.”
Sorry for the squiffy posting times this last week. In-laws went down with lung and heart troubles. Been in and out of the hospital and looking after the fam at their home. The missus has moved back in with her mum for a bit while I double down on work to pay the bills while she’s a full-time carer.
If you fancy helping her out while she’s giving up work to look after the family, check out her Society6 store: society6.com/donnamariestrachan
Glass shards and sculpted steel reached up out of the ground. Clawing upwards towards the sign for the financial district.
Broken screens ticked from within what remained of the buildings. Mannequins stood beneath the screens. Papers in hands, and endless cry for more money.
Iron spotted the sign for the stock market. She wondered if they sold chicken, beef or vegetable broths.
Soup is a staple for the frugal, like me. My soup is roughly 1 500 g bag of broth. 2.5 kettles of water. 4 chopped carrots. 4 chopped onions. 4 vegetable stock cubes and 4 tablespoons Bistro veg gravy. I freeze it in bowls and heat them in the microwave. It provides between 16-20 bowls.
I follow a lot of vegetarian food blogs, and sometimes, I do wish posts could be as short as that. I get that your mums, cousins, twice removed niece is coming for the holidays from the Bahamas. I understand she’s bringing her cat, Floofoo who’s hypoallergenic and once had the mumps. And I totally agree that the new DeviantArt eclipse is awesome.
But I don’t need sixteen paragraphs of it before you tell me a recipe for simple soda bread. For love of all that is good and natural, learn some conciseness people!
Serenity Blue for this weeks #Colour_Collective. I’m doing a lot of bland ones at the moment. I think I’ll keep doing them for a few more weeks, If I continue to feel uninspired, I’ll change them out for something else colour based. Maybe like the Saturday doodles I’ve posted on Twitter a few times?
They left the school and returned to the main road. Buildings had sunk further than others into the ground here. The roofs of houses and odd chimneys were all that was left peeking out of the soil. In some places, there would be a dark and dusty patch where a house once stood.
One building was noticeably absent. The Spanish magic show house. Un Dos had vanished without a tres.
Today’s video took an hour for YouTube to process and I’m getting a ‘processing’ message on the creators studio page. Apologies if it’s a bit wonky for ya to watch.
Thirty minutes of Coppers tinkering passed. Computers deconstructed all over the room. She had a bag full of spares.
“That’ll keep us going,” said Copper. “This place looks like a tip though…”
Iron beeped and whirred an acknowledgement and looked about the wreckage. She wasn’t sure what sort of tip Copper meant, but she felt it was a good tip.
It’s a simple skill. Dead easy! I taught a Skillshare lesson on it while practising my screen recording. How to convert a hand-drawn doodle into a digital graphic. (link! skl.sh/2G40lMs ).
It currently has 237 students with 100% review.
Wait… What? You mean this simple skill isn’t common knowledge? This silly little course is helpful and well rated? Huh… Who’d of thunk it…
But hey, there’s a lesson there right. Sometimes, if you work really hard, you too can be a sunflower.
No, wait, that’s not it…
If you put a character everywhere, you can fill a blog post with stupid amounts of links (link! littlefears.co.uk/?p=8458 ).
No… That’s still not it…
It’s something more like, we all have little skills we take for granted. Try putting them out there.
Also, this course is a premium course. Except for the next 48 hours. For the next 48 hours, it’s free. FREE! Enrol in the course, for free, any time before Wednesday evening and it’s free for life.
