Still

A photograph of an early morning drawing setup on a bed, with a white tea tray resting on a colourful crocheted blanket. The tray is covered with a blue cloth patterned with white hens and holds a carton of Alpro Barista oat milk, an orange Stanley mug, a bright green teapot and a collection of drawing pens and crayons. In the foreground, an open homemade pocket sketchbook rests on the blanket, showing a black ink drawing of the oat milk carton, mug and teapot, surrounded by bold patches of blue, turquoise, pink and grey. The scene is softly illuminated by a warm light in the otherwise dim room.
A close-up photograph of an open homemade pocket sketchbook resting on a colourful crocheted blanket beside a tea tray covered with a blue cloth patterned with white hens. The two-page drawing, made in black ink with bold patches of blue, turquoise, pink and grey, shows a carton of Alpro Barista oat milk on the left and a mug and teapot on the right. The background is filled with loosely coloured shapes inspired by the crocheted blanket. In the top right corner, the time, 5.40, and date, 15 October 2026, are handwritten. Part of the real orange mug and several crayons, two coloured pencils and a brush pen can be seen above the sketchbook.

Sitting still. Still waiting. Still sitting with the familiar.

I wonder if my patience is beginning to pay off…
