@virginactiveSA why are you taking money from my account when I've asked you to freeze it?

I'd like to propose a toast

@Rbjacobs When will my dishwasher arrive? The eBucks shop charged me and said it was delivered, but it wasn't. I phone every day and no-one can help me 😰

I'm managing editor on this #OpenAccess journal, Feminist Encounters, and we've just brought out a special issue on #feminist #comix

Some nice work in here, if I may say so myself.

@CityofCT we haven't had adequate water supply in our building since 3 Jan. Ref numbers 9108200552, 9108331291, 9108303538. Promises of help within 48 hours resulted in nothing. Please 😰

Day 12: the one and only
💋
Is it just me, or is it impossible to find your favourite lipstick again once it's finished? I guess they bring out new ranges and force us to try new colours instead...which is probably a good thing? #achangeisasgoodasaholiday

Day 11: offcut
🦐💃🏻
I love this little piece of cloth that remains from an apron my sister gave me which I then turned into a curtain for the bathroom window...

Day 10: staple
🌙🍌
My grandmother always used to say: "If you want to find me, just follow the trail of banana peels"...🙈 .

Day 9: my kind of drug ✏️ I'm addicted to drawing now...what can I say? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm drawing something every day of 2020. For January I'm doing things I can hold in my hand.

Day 8: don't forget

Memory is a tricky thing. I've made false memories and blocked out some memories all together. When packing, I always forget one thing - no matter how many lists I make 🙈 But overall I am so grateful for my memory. In the end, is it not all we have?

Day 7: flamingo candle
🦩
Flamingos are probably my favourite birds. Have you ever seen how they fly? #drawingaday2020 #drawdrawdraw #drawnfromlife #flamingo #candle #eskom #pink #favouritebird #flamingos #pencilcrayon

Day 6: silver spoon
It's quite difficult to draw metal with pencil, as I discovered while trying to draw this antique silver spoon that looks more gold than silver. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

Day 5: oortjie
As you know, I love everything about the ocean 🐡🦐🐚 I'm happy to announce that I will be snorkeling in April - CAN'T WAIT!🤿

Day 4: teatime
This is an antique teacup from my grandparents' house. I suspect I drink far too much tea but, then again, is there anything like a cup of hot tea for countering life's troubles? ☕

Day 3: spekboom

Have you ever tried to kill a spekboom? They can survive almost anything. May you have the resilience of a spekboom this year 💚 #drawingaday2020 #capetownart

Day 2: giraffy

I'd like to draw something every day of 2020. For January I'm doing things I can hold in my hand. Perhaps I need a bigger sketchbook 🙈
This little clay giraffe was made by a friend of mine who has mad fine motor skills 🤯

Day 1: housewarmingbird

I'd like to draw something every day of 2020. This bird was given to me as part of a housewarming present and it lives on my fridge. I know that this drawing is not the best, but it is a start.
