I decided during my first week in Berlin that Mondays will be a domestic day where I may work, do laundry, or chores, but I don’t try to go sightseeing or out on the town in Berlin. This is not a hard rule, but let’s call it a guideline for my health. I have been doing a lot of sightseeing, plus working, plus trying to fit in my sketching. I am not getting enough sleep, as usual.
Having said that about Monday being my day off, today I did find the energy to attend a life drawing session in a cultural centre around the corner from my Berlin apartment. It’s a 5-minute walk, and it’s a 2-hour session on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. I knew that would be a great option for a winter evening. So I dropped by there and did a few drawings. It was still a day of taking it easy.
