Sweetener

Drew this little old lady sweetening her coffee. Either she was in a complete dream and didn't realise how much sugar she had put in her coffee, or she felt she obviously wasn't sweet enough and needed all the help she could get. I swear there were at least 6 empty packs of sugar, and more to follow. She also had 5 empty milk sachets. Coffee with your sugar madam?

  6. Thanks guys, it also reminds me off my uncle who put in huge amounts of sugar in his tea/coffee, then spent ages just stirring. We would all as children just be fixated on how watching how many times he stirred his drink, and not listen to a word he was saying...

  7. I don't drink coffee too often, but that sounds like me sweeting my tea. Great sketch.

  8. I loved your sketch, you have caught the moment perfectly, I can almost hear the rustle of the sugar packets as she tips yet more into the cup!
