Freezing my *** off

After early promise I didn't get much more painting done beyond that which I posted on Saturday. On Sunday and Easter Monday we went out as a family to try and make the most of the Holiday, despite the unseasonal cold weather. So on Sunday we took the Young Padawan skating at our soon-to-be-closed local ice rink (so much for the 'Olympic Legacy'). She had a great time but, as a spectator, I was borderline Hypothermia by the time we went home. Then Yesterday we went to a local Zoo and I added frostbite to my collection. The wind chill put temperatures firmly into negative numbers (-3°c I'm told).

Springlike it most definitely wasn't.


[Don't let this picture fool you, the only reason I'm smiling is because this board provided a little shelter from the biting wind!]

Anyway I'm back at work for a couple of days and then I have a week and a half off. We are going away for a few days next week but I'll also have time to get some painting done and finish off a few projects, so watch this space.

  1. I bet the kids didn't feel the cold. I remember being little and playing all day in bitter weather with my fingers purple from the cold and being happy as a clam. It's nice to get out with the kiddies though and they'll always remember these times with you.

  2. Overtime has prevented me from updating my blog, and the still cold Michigan weather!
    But I did get a day off and spent it all in the chill air with my kids...we just ran around with nerf guns though.
