Like most of us, I prefer to be asked 'nicely' . I work at home, by myself, and many of my hand-written reminders have all the charm and courtesy of a drill-sergeant - 'restitch this unicorn'; 'do a back-up'; 'scan camping notebook pages'... 'pick up sausages for supper'. I like to see the odd "Please" once in a while and write my Post-Its accordingly.

This is a watercolour sketch/test for the easel's canvas (painted in a little book of gridded pages that DMC kindly sent me several years ago).
