Last of 2011 and more Holiday Art

It's the final day of 2011! I hope you all have a very fun New Year's Eve. I will be spending it at home with my grandmother. My NYEs are invariably rather shitty. It seems like fun NYEs are things other people have. Ah well. I'll just have to ask the rest of you to get drunk and kiss a couple of pretty young things for me.

Let's all hope 2012 proves to be a much better year than 2011!

More Holiday Art.

Nothing much to say today. I've had a long tiring day, but now I'm finally home!

Today's art:

More Christmas Art!

Here's today's art:

Hannukah Art!

Not much to say today. Except:

Happy eighth day of Hannukah!

More Holiday Art!

I'm feeling a bit better today. I actually went to work. (I only had a short three hour shift.) I should be completely better in a couple of days. The wonders of modern medicine and lots of sleep!

Here's some more holiday art:

An Eventful Boxing Day and More Art.

I was going to post today's art this morning. I really was! But then I woke up with a really painful throat and when I went and checked in the mirror with a torch I saw I had tonsillitis. I get tonsillitis so often I'm pretty good at self-diagnosing by now. Back in Greece I just go to a pharmacy and get my own medicine and that's that.

But in the UK you can't do anything without a prescription, and being a holiday nothing was working. I wasn't going to let them put me off getting my anti-biotics however! I jumped through all their hoops! I had to wait for hours on an emergency hotline before giving my details and telling them what was wrong. Then I had to wait for an hour and a half for them to call back, where I described all over again what was wrong and I persuaded them to book me an appointment at the nearest hospital (after insisting that no, I would rather not wait and see if it goes away by itself!)

I took the bus to the hospital, where in spite having booked an appointment I still had to wait about three quarters of an hour before they saw me. And obviously it took only five minutes for the doctor to see that, yes, I have tonsillitis and yes, some anti-biotics would be very helpful. So she wrote me a nice prescription for 2000mg of penicillin a day which I think is a bit of overkill, but I'm hardly a doctor.

Obviously the pharmacy at the hospital wasn't working today so I had to get the bus to the closest open one in the area (which I had googled before leaving because it pays to be prepared). And, yes, I successfully acquired my two boxes of penicillin tablets despite being in the UK on Boxing Day. Go me!

Then I called my cousin to pick me up and I went to the tennis club where they were holding a big family dinner which I somehow managed to survive without the help of alcohol.

How about some nice holiday art now that you slogged through my ranting?

Merry Christmas and more Art!

I'm still feeling very very sick. My bad luck to get sick over christmas...

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you have a great time today!

Today's art:

More Christmas Art!

I am feeling so sick tonight you wouldn't believe! Just the thought of the big family dinners I will have to go to tomorrow and the day after while feeling like this fills me with dread.

And of course my grandmother doesn't understand. If I'm not running a high fever, she thinks I'm exaggerating.

Today's christmas art:

Christmas art!

I have decided, now that I've finished all my cards for the holidays, to post a piece of Christmas art a day, until... well, until I run out of art. I haven't actually counted how much art I drew. Beware that most of it is rather generic holiday stuff.

So, first art post:
