Writing and thinking, often in that order. I write books, draw/paint pictures and take photos. It's about time I put a stop to it. See my latest work at jonkenna.com

Love it! Does she wish she could fly right up to the sky?

I visited Runcorn for the first time this week – and was blown away by its magic | Adrian Chiles Decades after I first befriended one of the town’s sons, I finally got to see the place – or at least its glorious bridge, writes Adrian Chiles

Here's a rarity. A good review for my home town, Runcorn!!

Today's sketch. Far from perfect but captured her character, I think

My drawing of the day from yesterday. I rushed it and it's better for it. The more I concentrate and work at getting a sketch just right, the less I like the result

No it was already there. Apparently all the rubble in that area is from houses bombed in the Second World War. It was dumped there temporarily in the 1940s and never moved. It's all been worn smooth by the motion of the tide

Thank you Lori. I made it all myself. Not really, I just took the photo.

It's starting to go cold and gloomy now as the sun sinks.

In the queue at the McDonalds drive-thru today I saw a stark reminder of what could happen if I have too many of those new Chicken Big Macs

It's no great hardship as it doesn't appear when watching a program. Will try your suggestions though, thanks

Yes, the smudge doesn't appear on the other one! Alien invasion?

They'll probably charge me extra for the smudge!

This weird little smudge has appeared on the Sky TV menu. Looks like damage to the TV display but it can't be because it doesn't appear apart from on the Sky menu and it MOVES across the screen when you select different items!
