ANGRY BIRD!

I've been fairly busy with work since I got back from holiday, but one interesting thing I've noticed from my Twitter Feed which is quietly chirping away in the background on my laptop, is that a lot of the people who were apoplectic a few days ago at the news of the upcoming release of a new Royal Baby, are now chomping at the bit at the prospect of new iPhone.

#QuickDraw: How I Waste My Time

Tonight, @OFFLIFE_comic ran another #QuickDraw over on Twitter with the theme: 'How I Waste My Time'.

If you're on Twitter, you can follow Zarina @cobaltcafe. She doesn't just tweet photos of food and her illustrations are amazing!
