Weekly sketch

Another interruption last week, so 'weekly' continues so far to be short for 'biweekly'. But that should change soon – hoping.

Not much to show for this morning's session. Couldn't get my head altogether into it. But showing up's always better than staying home and something drawn's always better than nothing, for this exercise's purposes.

'Quare id faciam' is a bit I snagged, without much thought, from 2 lines of verse likely known to anyone who's had a little Latin in school. I borrowed it years ago, looking for a username no one else would want.
