colour me obsessed

Over the last few days I have become completely engrossed in the world of…………….

colouring.

Yes, colouring.  But the grown-up kind with really complex patterns and hugely detailed pictures.  It is completely addictive.  I think this is because it totally takes you away from every day drudgery and problems, with the concentration required meaning that any outside interferences are most unwelcome.

Beside the addiction I have discovered a number of things, including:

-       - colouring is up there with Spirograph for grown up kid’s stuff
-      -  you can easily lose 2 hours of your life
-      - Sharpies are the greatest invention since sausages
-      -  I stick my tongue out while I’m concentrating hard
-      - getting ink on the table is a big no-no.

So, while the evenings are still dark, I can be found at the dining table with paper and pens in hand completely ignoring everyone else to the point that no one now speaks to me while I’m “creating”.


After all, I don’t want to go outside the lines.
