Here’s something I found coming out of my sketchbook last weekend, sitting quietly in Sylvie’s Café with a hot drink and a slice of cake. Not sure where it came from. Or where it’s going.

We enjoyed an unsual musical act at the Old Fire Station on Friday. Thomas Truax plays songs with an understated, whimsical, often dark humour, with the occasional help of an mechanical drummer (named Mother Superior — you can see her at bottom-right in my doodle.) Also starring were the Hornicator and the Stringaling, and an impressive selection of effects pedals and looping tools. Thanks Thomas!

Another session at the Museum of the Histoy of Science, drawing objects through a microscope, and then monoprinting. It comes out in mirror image, and as I tried to write the ‘q’ of mosquito a sudden high pitched whining noise disturbed me.
The very energetic and interesting Dr. Helen Czerski presented “We need to Talk about Physics” at today’s meeting of Oxford Skeptics in the Pub. We learnt why blueberry jam isn’t blue; why the Hubble telescope is like a raw egg; and why there is a lot of physics still to do to understand everyday phenomena (such as how bubbles move in a turbulent fluid.)
I’m afraid the likeness is worse than usual. Dr. Czerski doesn’t do standing still.

Just a doodle from this evening. After scanning I added the flipped inverse image just because.

Another trip to Whipsnade Zoo. As well as being surprised by a one-day-old baby elephant (born a couple of weeks earlier than expected) we also saw a brown bear having a delicious cooling roll in the grass.
Some creatures spotted at Howlett’s Zoo (in Kent, UK) weather you believe me or not.

Just a little doodle I found in my brain. The popularity of standing desks is burgeoning in my office (though very few of my colleagues are giraffe.)
