Itchy gets a starring role today (Knee was nowhere to be found when I wanted to sketch him.) My mother-in-law gave me this word to keep. Thanks Barbara 🙂
Oh, and here’s the small beaded rhinoceros we bought on a street corner, directly from the artist, in Johannesburg. Â It seems to be settling in well to the late summer in England:

Itchy, lying face down, kicking the ground in frustration, thinks: "perse eve rate, perseverate"
says: "why cant I get that word out of my head?!"

Your rhino looks very happy. He may wish to come indoors when it gets colder. Don’t think he’d like the persistent cold/wet of winter (we share that with you, Seattle = U.K.).
yes, although he’s used to frost in Johannesburg, I think the persistent cold and damp of the UK winter might give him rheumatism.
