sycamore trunkspalm frondMy Sushi Sketchbook, The Normanton Chronicles starts with a drawing I made waiting for an appointment at the health centre in the town. Six months later I'm back for a routine check up and, as usual, I take the opportunity to draw.

The sycamore with three trunks grows by the car park while, in the waiting room, the potted palm gives me a more exotic subject.

As you can see, I didn't have long to wait.

hip jointThe Long Journey of the Sole

I've walked, well it must be hundreds of miles, since I last saw the podiatrist. Last time she fitted me out with a slight raise for my left heel. This time she's more interested in how my insoles are progressing than in my feet/legs as such:

'The body can cope with a degree of asymmetry,' she tells me, 'and once we've corrected any pathological asymmetry there's no reason to go any further.'

That's great, and I feel like going on a long walk to celebrate.

While she makes a minor repair on the insoles I draw the model of a hip joint.

Talking of foowear, this I had to smile at a advertisement for a comfortable casual that features a 'foam-lined leather tongue'. Some mornings I know just how that shoe feels! Next Page
