#2  Carnival      (I did do it yesterday – these are 4″ x 6″ )    We are celebrating the anniversary of the rout of the pirates. The carnival lasts a day and a night.

#3  Draw a map.

Not happy with the gel pen colour. Too late now. The name of my Country is top-secret and only produces two results in a Google search.

The next prompt – mailbox.  😮

Here is my first card in the index-card-a-day challenge. As usual, I’m beginning late, but I don’t have to catch up. I’ve fiddled and fussed nearly all day – a lot of time just finding stuff stashed away in boxes.

The challenge is about the DOING and not the
KEEPING or PRESERVING or ARCHIVING.
It is the process of creating each day that matters.

The prompt is chevron and I have created a pub sign using cardboard, torn paper, printed letters, gel pens, crayons and a sea-dragon made from several silver stickers (it scanned black and looks better!). Thanks for looking.

I don’t know if you remember, but all my cards will relate to my novel.

It was at least minus 3C last night – there was still a thin layer of ice on the bird’s water when I set out walking Vika just after 9:30am. By then it had warmed up to 2 degrees, and I thought yesterday was cold at four degrees!

It was bin day this morning – both recyclables and normal rubbish. The lids provided a cheery splash of colour.

Nearing midday, it is almost 8C. Our woodpile is rapidly dwindling. When the galahs came today, I tried to get a photo with their crests up. Those white feathers on their heads can be erected when alarmed, showing flashes of bright pink underneath. They nearly obliged.  These shots are cropped quite heavily, so quality isn’t great. All four photos taken on the Nokia Lumia 530 windows phone.

I’m pulling the internet plug now … things to do, and all that.

Have a nice day.
