The Monkey-Fish Swim

Due to some malfunction in my good judgement gene, at some point between May and September 2012 - I plan to swim the 1.2 miles across the river Forth between the two Queensferrys, North & South...

I was going to name the endeavour "The Great Immune System Challange", or "Anything to Get Away From Fife (A GAFF)" but Michelle came up with "The Monkey-Fish" (from where, or for why, I have no idea...no suggestions please!) and it stuck.

James Murdoch's Memory

I'm part of a minor social media sensation! The boys at 'Irkafirka' on Twitter have thrown the doors open to us amatuer cartoonists...

Coloured Topaz

Topaz

Michelle (Kiss the Frog) found this really cool blog called 'Buffalog' - by Mike Maihack...this is a sketch for my version of his "Topaz"

Shoulder On!

The same rope swing that got Scott G in "Snapshot" got me too when I was 17 and tried to swing on it standing on the stick instead of sitting on it...cue suspension over a twenty foot drop hanging by one (dislocated) arm! Mum's verdict? - "Don't be rediculous! If you'd dislocated your shoulder, it would be agony!"

"....erm, hello?!"

Two nights later, diving into the swimming pool - I decided to do a Quasi Modo impersonation - with my arm coming out of my side! Now, that was agony!

Emma's Idea

Got a bit of Blogger's Block (sounds medical,eh? but I mean of the writer's variety!) and haven't been drawing for a bit - so Emma suggested that I post one of her drawings (one with a light shining above her head) to get me going again!

I think it might just work!
