Minus 8 degrees on the thermometer this morning, so it's getting colder. The chill is starting to seep into the ol' bones a bit now..... While we were out, one of the cats (not my sweet Wilbur, I'm sure) managed to open the door of the unheated room that's by my studio room, so when we got back both rooms were cold and I had to paint in my fingerless gloves. Warm enough here now - but we're using the unheated room as an extension to the fridge at the moment. Left-over chicken with noodles - and it's still in the wok to save on the washing-up.
I managed to get this much done anyhow....
Well, I've actually done a bit more to the ears, but they will be for my next post. The background will be the colour and the pattern of my favourite scarf. The colour isn't right, but I just wanted to block in an approximate colour for now.
Out in the freezing environs of Ediger-Eller, there's still a very small amount of snow in sheltered areas where it fell a few days back before it turned too cold, but no frost. The local fountain has iced up though - I think it's a sculpture of Bishop Urbanus but I'll have to check that. The Egyptian Geese were standing by it looking cold..... Someone had broken the ice so they had some water to drink, but as H pointed out, there's a Whole River just a short flap away.
The way the fountain is facing means that you're always shooting into the Sun if you want a photo of the front - but you can see the icicles better from the side view. I wonder how long it will be before they thaw out.....
Soon,
Tschüss!
