As mentioned in the above illustration I was indisposed for
a number of weeks after Christmas due to the flu, never had it before and the
little bastard certainly made up for lost time.
Indisposed? Such a
feminine term, don’t you think? Conjuring up visions of being draped across a
chaise longue with properly uniformed maids hovering in the background.
A gal can dream I suppose.
As a result I’m way behind on a lot of things including the
next and what I hope will be the final chapter of AVVE. I have approx 3k words
written but there is still a long way to go, I’m really busy with the day job so
it will be at least another month to six
weeks.
I composed the
illustration above mainly just to let readers know I’m not neglecting the blog,
usually I’d add text or write a very short story to accompany it. Then I
thought, perhaps readers may not like my perspective of what is taking place here and would probably interpret these scenes
differently. So I have omitted the text
and readers are free to create their own scenario, unburdened by my ramblings.
How did this hapless youth come to be dressed as a girl?
What is the relationship (If any) between him and the
ladies?
What is the nature of the conversation?
Is he in some sort of trouble? The body language of the lady
in the pink blouse seems quite assertive, perhaps even intimidating , the lady on the left appears
extremely interested in the young man’s predicament but remaining a little
aloof.
Why is the young woman on the stool wearing trousers in such
elegant company and why does she appear so nonchalant, almost blasé?
Is he dressed for some formal occasion?
These, and many others, are the questions that keep me awake at
night.
Again, apologies for the delay in posting the next chapter of AVVE
and thank you for your understanding.
Take care
Carrie
