It’s been a while since I posted an update on Wingate & Finchley’s matches in the Ryman Premier Division. In truth, I have hit a bit of a block when trying to get up the enthusiasm to produce a match report. This is due to getting a couple of matches behind when the league was playing catch-up after the bad weather set in back in February combined with a set of major releases to our applications at work. It reached the stage where I either didn’t have the time or was too tired to sit down and do a lengthy match report. As I got further and further behind, I frankly reached a point where I really didn’t see the point! Anyway, I hope to bang out a catching up post to bring the situation up to date this weekend.
Whilst the football has suffered, my photo blogging has gone along fairly well – I’ve missed a couple of weekly photo challenges where I didn’t have anything to hand and didn’t find the time to produce something new but all-in-all I’ve been pleased to take part as often as possible. I’d like to thank all of you who pop by from time to time to offer a kind comment, press the like button or just to take a look. Makes it all worthwhile.
However, I’ve been feeling a little jaded recently and perhaps it’s time to explore pastures new. That doesn’t mean moving on and ceasing to post here – far from it. But I have really felt the need to expand into other art forms besides photography. So, given that my son is learning the Clarinet and recently passed his first grade with a merit, I’ve treated myself to a Saxophone – even if I can’t play it… I’m sure it’ll make some cool photographs! 😉 The other area I thought I’d have a go at is digital art and possibly also the occasional cartoon. To that end I’ve purchased ArtRage and spent an enthralling couple of hours this afternoon playing with the tools. I can see this being an excellent remedy for stress! Anyway, here’s a first effort…

…Presumably things will improve with practice and with the use of something more suitable than a mouse!
