Day thirty-four of The 100 Day Project for 2021.

So, with all the positive outcomes and relief yesterday, today, with 2.5 days of filming left, the production Simon's working on was put on hold again. Because, of course.

He was due to be heading back to London on Monday, but now we don't know when he will be coming home :(

There's nothing either of us can do about it, but it sucks. Simon's return was so close I could smell it, even if I wouldn't have been able to smell him for another couple of weeks due to self-isolation requirements.

I had a tension headache all day today. I woke up with it, and it lurked about until I went out in the fresh cold evening air about 19:00.

Thankfully, apart from a half-hour training session this morning, I could reschedule my work hours to tomorrow and/or Sunday and just try to rest to shake it off.

As a consequence, I had more time this evening for my sketch. So, of course, I bit off more than I could chew... Though not my worst so far.

I decided early on that I wasn't going to even attempt all the fur. That the outline would do today.

I sketched out his little rat body with a 4H pencil. I drew his furry outline with a 4B. And I then went over the lines of his tail, feet, nose and the leaf with an HB pencil.

He lost a bit of weight in the drawing. And there are other imperfections, but it's not glaringly terrible like yesterday's attempt. It also appears I'm better at drawing rats than cats...
