  My
Sushi Sketchbook, The Normanton Chronicles starts with
a drawing I made waiting for an appointment at the health centre in the
town. Six months later I'm back for a routine check up and, as usual,
I take the opportunity to draw.
The sycamore with three trunks grows by the car park
while, in the waiting room, the potted palm gives me
a more exotic subject.
As you can see, I didn't have long to wait.
 The
Long Journey of the Sole
I've walked, well it must be hundreds of miles, since I last saw the
podiatrist. Last time she fitted me out with a slight raise for my left
heel. This time she's more interested in how my insoles are progressing
than in my feet/legs as such:
'The body can cope with a degree of asymmetry,' she tells me, 'and once
we've corrected any pathological asymmetry there's no reason to go any
further.'
That's great, and I feel like going on a long walk to celebrate.
While she makes a minor repair on the insoles I draw the model of a hip
joint.
Talking of foowear, this I had to smile at a advertisement for a comfortable
casual that features a 'foam-lined leather tongue'. Some mornings I know
just how that shoe feels!
