Welcome to Morning Ink, where I share my daily fountain pen drawing and whatever thoughts (sometimes none, mostly reasonably short, occasionally long and very rambling) jump out and onto the screen. If you don’t want daily emails you can toggle them off by going to Manage subscription. 1
Managed to do a lot of hours yesterday. Because it was lighter work. Seven hours of lighter work tends to pay similar to five hours of heavier work. So, really, I need to just accept that I not try to add extra hours on top of a five-hour heavy-thinking day! Instead, embrace them, and exercise and read and draw in the two hours that I would have to be working on the lower-paid stuff!
Or find work that is lighter (on my head – this woll.not be the.case for everyone) and still pays the higher rates!
Made a different versions of my tofu and tomato noodles last night, with less coconut milk, soba noodles and added edemame, spinach and chopped cashew nuts. It was very nice, but definitely didn’t taste the same.
Thanks so much for being here. Your presence on its own is a joy, but I love to hear from you, too, so please do feel free to leave a comment. About something that has resonated for you in today’s picture or in today’s words. Or about something completely unrelated. Tell me about your morning, your creative practice, your particular work or life juggling act. Anything. If you want to go even further you can take out a paid subscription – if you’re happy to give me your postal address I'll send you some art of some kind in the post.
And if you don’t like subscriptions (I totally get it!) you can ‘tip me’ instead. But really, your presence and comments are the best rewards – if they could be exchanged for food and electricity, I’d be so very happy.
