Enid wanted to stay on the couch today because it was cold. But I told her, "I'm going for a run", so I left her there to eat the biscuits by herself.

Not to be confused with the Ethel of our friend ButtercupKid.

It is indeed the same inner Ethel. I loved her imagery.

I must point out that you don’t have to call your inner slob Ethel. My husband calls his Harold. Just pick a name you wouldn’t want to live with and you’re set 😄

😀😂I have heard some call it "spare tyre " or "flab"

It is such a brilliant idea. Thank you. I do hope you don't mind me using Ethel. I have her clearly in my mind now. But say the word and she can produce an evil twin called Enid. 😂

Enid is a great name. The only Enid I know anything of is the writer Enid Blyton: apparently she was selfish and bad tempered. Perfect 😄

The deal is done! I will do some editing and re-name her Enid. Thank you for your support. 👩‍💻👍

Sounds cool ! I love your drawings, incidentally. Are you a professional artist ? You could illustrate the Downfall of Enid 😄

Thank you. Not at all. An enthusiastic amateur. It was one on my "gap year" challenges from last year. (To start drawing and painting.) 👩‍🎨

After chatting to ButtercupKid I have renamed Ethel to Enid (her evil twin). 👍

It is definitely a work in progress especially as this is my second time at getting through the plan. (Used to run years ago.) But now it is breaking all the habits one gets into. This is a great community to discover though. Thank you.

Another great drawing! You’ll be able to do an illustrated C25K story book by the end of this 👍😁

I can't wait to see how you illustrate your graduation 😊

Nilsam profile image
NilsamGraduate in reply toJell6

Thank you. Yes, I will have to plan that one. But we will still have to work on "Educating Enid" until I can get her graduated too. I think working on educating my inner self may take a bit of time. 🧘🏼‍♀️🙃

Oh I will drag her along definitely. 👍
