Thank you

Hi Nikki,

The "boring" things prompt from @ajamesdraws was excellent and not boring at all. Having a timer going made me work fast and not worry about accuracy! I'm pretty pleased with the results! Instead of writing one sentence about each item, I wrote a little story to accompany the nine "boring" items.

As Beryl swept the kitchen floor, she thought about the recent election. "Rubbish," she muttered. Her little rescue mutt, Goat Devil, would make a better leader, even if she had chewed Beryl's favourite shoe. She couldn't find it anywhere. It wasn't with the cleaning products in the bathroom or in her with her tools. She made herself a cup of tea and sat down to write an article about what it was like to live with an allium allergy. Just as she noticed her shoe lying next to a plug, her phone pinged. "Dammit," she said, "my parking meter is about to expire!"

I, too, found the ‘boring’ things not at all boring when it came to drawing them… Bonus points for weaving them all into a story!

Here are mine in no particular order… (and, yes, I just realized I was supposed to use a single page, but I was using my little sketchbook and the drawings would have been microscopic had I attempted to do that). I did follow the other suggestions (not really very good at playing by the rules) and no one drawing took more than 2 minutes.

There must be something… but can’t think of a single thing I won’t eat.

Wow, Sarah! We outdid ourselves today - look at all those drawings! We should take the next week off… (kidding!) BTW - I should pay attention to your lettering - way better for comics than mine, which is somewhat illegible…

If anyone else did this challenge, post your results in the comments!
