Coronavirus: Dennis Bayley (QM 1947-54)

All the way from Canada, Dennis recounts some lockdown tales.

During the lockdown I decided to learn to draw with my left hand which has not been my dominant one since I started school just before I was 5 years old . At that time I only drew with my left hand but at primary school I was hit on the knuckles if I used my left hand and so became right-handed . Eighty years later I decided during the pandemic lockdown to see if I could still draw left-handed . See the results, drawn over time, below:

1st Attempt => 9th Attempt => 14th attempt

In addition to my left-handed drawing experiment, I used the lockdown to lose my "spare tyre". The attached photo shows what 1,700,000 steps on a cross-trainer last year plus 45 minute walks daily ( weather permitting ) and inability to dine out does for a waistline.

What an amazing achievement!
