More sketches for 365 day challenge

I'm trying to post my sketches weekly rather than fortnightly. 

I'm hoping to get back into a regular routine with my blog. 

I miss it and I miss my blog buddies.

Here is a week of sketches for the challenge.

I always sketch directly with pen unless stated otherwise. 

Sushi has become one of our favourite lunches.
 Nowadays, Sushi is basically cooked, vinegared rice 
combined with any preferred assortment of fillings wrapped in seaweed (nori). 
 Traditionally, Japanese Narezushi rice was cooked in fermented fish 
but that is not used for Western-style sushi. 
Bradley and I usually have avocado sushi rolls 
and inari (deep-fried tofu pillows filled with sushi rice) 
with lots of wasabi and soy sauce.  DELICIOUS!

Practising cross-hatching and shading with pen
with Alphonso Dunn.

Bradley (#1 son) bought a set of bongo drums a few months back
and he has become quite adept at playing them.

 It turned out that the air filter was an easy fix and something
I was capable of doing myself.  The guy showed me what to do
and the mower is now running beautifully again.
I'm feeling quite proud of myself!

I'm linking up with Sunday Sketches HERE.

In light of the warmer weather,
the boys were groomed last Friday.

Unfortunately, Jack didn't react well to the shampoo that the groomer used.
He ended up with severe itching which caused him to scratch and bite at his skin
making a right mess of himself, poor thing.
I gave him a couple of Billy Goat goats' milk soap baths which usually
helps soothe the skin and ease the itching.  He is now sporting one of those cones
on his head to allow time for the wounds to heal.
Hopefully, it will be sooner than later as King Jack is not amused with his 'crown',
he keeps bumping into things with it.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
Mine is almost over....
back to the grind tomorrow.
