Mr McRotter

If you’re familiar with the Charles Dickens novel called David Copperfield (not the magician) you might know the character Wilkins Micawber, a clerk. Micawber had a very positive outlook on life and whole heartedly believed that “something will turn up.”

I like that philosophy very much indeed.

What did turn up recently while going through some of my late grandmothers things with mum and dad was this pompous fellow.

Turns out it’s Mr Micawber himself in a statue/wall plaque. I asked Dad if I could have it and he said it’s only going in the bin if you don’t take it.

Anyway, me being me, I couldn’t just touch up the old chipped statue nahhhh I needed to give it the IRO treatment. So with a little imagination and some basic (very basic) skills I turned the pompous old git into a pompous old ZOMBIE git.

I call him Mr McRotter

Hehe I’m quite chuffed with old Mr McRotter actually hehe.

An apology and a thank you.

Sorry I haven’t been around too much. There’s been a lot going on personally. I have been stopping in here and there and I do look forward to getting back to the blogosphere in the not too distant future. I’ve come to realise that you guys are an extension of my hobby and my friend circle.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out too. Makes me realise even more how important this little blog world of ours is to me.

Cheers

IRO
