Let’s Eat Grandma

A great TDC today:

We’ve all heard of Lynn Truss’s Eats, Shoots and Leaves and are probably familiar with the pictorial representations that accompany it.

As Lynn says, commas (and other punctuation marks) do make a difference. Choose your favourite grammatical faux pax and create a visual representation of it.

I decided to take the unpunctuated “Let’s Eat Grandma” and doodle a shocked old lady.  Here she is.

Grandma, shocked that her grandchildren can’t use punctuation.

6 months of photos in 2026

Six months of photos, one every day. Making time to pause, breath and look.

Hexapencil

Today’s TDC is to design a pencil:

Design and draw your own pencil. It doesn’t have to be a standard No. 2 or anything like that. Give it a unique exterior design or give it 3 contact points. You decide!

Here’s mine – a six pointed pencil so I can draw from 6 directions at once.

Three happy things

For today’s TDC, 3 things that made me happy this week. Walking around my city and seeing this banner, drinking butterfly pea flower tea (which is deep blue and goes purple when lemon is added), and my lovely Lacey cat.

Gumption

for Today’s TDC,

What does the word GUMPTION look like to you? Show us in a picture or poem.

I immediately thought of our little cat, Cagney, who is a huge tiger in her own mind’s eye. Here she is on the roof of our house.
