IT WAS SNOWMAN BUILDING DAY! lets just say the temperature and snow on the ground can make a big difference to snowman building. today was perfect, as the snow would 'stick' into a ball much easier when its rolled over the snow... but whoa i never thought building a snowman would be hard work. when rolling the big snowballs i was actually sweating .....
anyway, me , alex and mary made one snowman each... a snow woman in mary's case... and it was really quite fun till the last steps cuz my fingers suddenly got much colder i had to stop and go in a few times. in any case, i'm adapting much better to the weather compared to previous times... at least my fingers arent always freezing now when i go out, and i can spend quite some time playing with the snow without my fingers getting painfully cold... or cold even. YAY.
on to the pics!
First up, Mary's snowman! wahahahhahahahah....... ... .... WHAAHAHAHHAAH
from the side... its really saggy boobs....
YES IT IS BIGGER THAN SHE IS XD and she's almost 1.8m tall XD
this is my snowman! it has a bent twig that makes it look like its waving, made with 3 snowballs of varying sizes but the base is hidden by the bush.. its slightly bigger than me i think, or about the same height...and yes thats a carrot in its face as a nose XD i'll probably change the mouth to small black stones tmr... will see.
unfortunately, i couldnt get a pic of alex's unique snowman with twigs sticking out the back and a big open mouth... he wanted to put candles in to make it glow but its way too windy now...
even more unfortunately, two of the snowmen have collapsed... mine is still standing although the arms have fallen off... i'm hoping it'll last so i can take a pic with it tmr. was much too cold to do it today...
thats it!
a macro function used on a cat.. was trying to get its eyes mainly since this one had very sharp... uhm.. iris? black bits.
And this is what people do when there's wind..
they dance...
they get happy....
and get absolutely whacky hair!
and a pic of a spider i found near kas's block... similar to the biiiig type we found in the botanic gardens...
this is my xmas haul... includes a huge bag of chocolates, gloves, bag of holding, nice digital keychain photo showing device, eyeshadow, french manicure set, book of secrets, a bracelet, some other accessories, glasses case, money, wool.... and other stuff :D
thats us this christmas dinner.. raymond and hilde (alex's bro and gf) couldnt join us this year as they went to visit her father instead. alex's grandparents joined alex's aunt... but they joined us later to open presents though.
my hugeass bag of chocolate.
half blended potatoes, with onions and some salt, mixed with flour.... then boiled in stock and big onions, tapioca i THINK, sbig sausages, carrots and a couple more potatoes.
eaten with a load of butter and fried bacon bits, i took this pic mainly to freak kas out... the woman who eats 1/100 of the butter in the picture a month probably... XD this is SAUCE
