Lockdown lunchtime doodles No.002
So carrying on with the theme of Lockdown lunchtime doodles, this is my second attempt.
Lunchtime lockdown doodles
I'm getting back into a bit of sketching and doodling these days. I find it relaxing, therapeutic, creative and especially helpful in lockdown when the weather's bloody miserable out there! I'm enjoying drawing freehand isometric shapes at the moment. Here's one I drew earlier today in my lunch-hour.

So here we find ourselves yet again, early January 2021 and back in lockdown 3.0! Blimey, just two weeks into the new year and we’ve had Brexit (whatever that was), a near civil war in the US and infections and deaths in the UK, due to Covid-19 are going through the roof! Thinking positively, nothing lasts forever, not even global pandemics. We have a vaccine being rolled out, we’re heading into Spring (although it doesn’t look or feel like that at the moment, just look out the window), it will get lighter by about two minutes every day and it’ll get warmer… …at some point.

So the second wave has come, we’ve had a fire break, a circuit breaker, a lockdown, tiers 1-3 (or 0-4 in Scotland) and now it looks like the vaccine has been given the green light just in time for this side of Christmas. Ding, and indeed dong, merrily on high, for some long awaited good news and cheer to finish off a rather bleak year! Oh, I forgot to mention Brexit, or should we just leave it there! Seasons greetings one and all. Be safe, be well, be healthy and stay creative. See you on the other side.

So looks like thinks are starting to hot up again out there. Lockdown looms once again, the second wave is almost upon us and winter is coming! If this isn’t enough to make you get creative then nothing will.
