Beautiful Daughter is about to start Schhool and in Germany that means she gets a Schultüte. She wants a "cute unicorn" and I've been briefed to draw same.
I'm better at boats than Unicorns but still, I had a go:

Needs work.

(Previous version on the "your picture of the day", then I realised Unicorns probably should have two ears...)

Actually, that's not half bad... You might want to look at "My Little Pony" pics to get a better feel of the overall shape, especially the hooves - those aren't quite there.

Note to self: the Goat Gap café near Ingleborough does excellent food.

I keep the flirty racing driver in my head. He just has his own little compartment.

He's only little then!

The National Lottery has annoyed me by emailing me that I've won a prize then telling me that I can't log into the app 'at this time' to find out out how much I've won...

1976 was the year of the long hot drought and Dutch Elm disease! The drought broke a few days after our wedding and a lot of tourist things shut up early. We stayed in an exotic place called Hayling Island and visited Southsea and Portsmouth. A hovercraft ride across to the Isle of White resulted in us catching a coach trip around the island ending up at Alum Bay, the place with the coloured sand . We did a world tour in miniature when we visited Tucktonia. It was a miniature model world which had recently opened way back then. We didn't earn enough to do the real thing !

This morning we went round the Russel Coates Museum . We are knackered ! Over 3 hours of culture looking at artwork and interesting objects they collected from around the world . If your other half ever complains about your collecting cycles take them round the museum . We haven't started!
It is very interesting . A bit of culture and well worth a visit . You may need a rest afterwards as we did !

Been many a time! That and the Pitt Rivers in Oxford are victorian gems. Its Grade II* listed to boot.

How come the Railway Children managed to climb up and over the tunnel faster than the runners managed to run through it ?

A family of potential Olympic gold medal winners there !

Point taken on the Hooves; they are from the original image is on a T-Shirt that Tinybug absolutely loves; my "commission" was to redraw that specific Unicorn but "with wings"

The extras union advised their members to walk through the tunnel for health and safety compliance.

Well, that's me back from a birthday party for quite a few 6 & 7 year old boys..
One ate a chocolate cupcake, including the paper wrapper. Another seemed to enjoy chicken nuggets dipped in orange juice.

I might just take up drinking again 😜

Nice cold glass of chocolate milk quoffed at 4pm

I am watching the W-series from Zandvoort

Ah right. Tracing paper, maybe?
