Monday morning is always Monday morning. To complete the scenario there has to be a ‘sign’ to confirm this.

Hmm.
This seems to be a repeated motif in my doodles…. Robert Crum said drawing was just an excuse for ‘crosshatching’. I know what he means …. The repetitive nature of something like this is soothing . . I must get out more . . . ..
This is a wonderful piece of writing! 
This is an illustration for a children’s story I wrote some time ago, before I started drawing. I’d given it to my friend Paul, to see what he thought. A week or two ago, he posted to say that he was reading the story to his children, so I started work on the illustrations.
