An Art Work A Day

For more on this very special street within the Prague castle complex that I visited last February, click here. These days I very much wish to visit this amazing city again but most airlines start locally only have routes there from April.

Today I have enjoyed playing with my watercolour set bought recently in Bergen. The colours are shimmery like pearly nailpolish and I find that nice to use now that we are heading for Christmas. This is my new character; Pearly Chick. I hope you will like her.

Stressing like mad to get the tree and its branches chopped up before it all will b covered in snow. Even with a bad cold I forced myself out and chopped up twice the amount of smaller branches that you see here. In th second photo you can see a collegue of mine dividing up the base of the main trunk - quite a beast.

All weekend I have worked very very hard, cutting away all smaller branches both those that can be used for firewood and all the twigs that has to be got rid of. Nearly done here and ready for the men with their motorsaws. I did all this using only manual tools. Very proud of myself and all the blisters in my hands. hehehe.

Today, after years of debating with myself the big marple tree in my garden was cut down. I had to have some specialized help because it could have fallen over both electricity lines as well as the roof of the house. Now I only have the major job of making this into firewood and tidy it all up.
