It's Summer

Continued with my sketch yesterday.
Only had 45 minutes before I rushed off to a nomikai by the waterfront.
Confirmed that I was heading in the wrong direction after asking a passer-by.

I can read maps, but I get lost when I'm in a building.
Or am surrounded by buildings.

Nice view of the port.
The volcano is to the right.
People I havn't seen for a long time.
Also some new-comers.

I realised people socialise better when they smoke.
And drink of course.
When you need to think over something,
or when you don't really want to talk,
you can puff on your ciggie,
and then nurse your beer for a while.

I don't smoke.
So I drink.
And my way of avoiding confrontations,
is to pretend to be sleepy from drinking too much.
It saved me from Billy J.'s charismatic ways again.
And he didn't wear his wedding ring.

Feigning ignorance is a very important life skill.

Woke up late.
Had only 15 minutes before my usual tram comes along.
Made it.

Another nomikai tonight.
For an acquaintance who got married.

One more tomorrow, at the beer garden, for the people going home.
Not sure if I want to go.
Mainly because it's outdoors and hot.
I am going to the studio in the afternoon.

And I don't really like beer.
