Cold April

Before the wind and snow: two little snow drops in my garden.
Since I left the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change at the beginning of March, every day the temperature has been more or less the same

The weather itself is sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy, but the temperature is always cold. 

I don't believe there's a connection.

Updates on Various States of Health

Bruce went to the eyeball repair shop week before last. The doc says the retina has reattached. 

Now we wait until Bruce is healed enough to withstand the procedure to extricate the oil bubble still in his eyeball.

We joke about using him as a level in the meantime.

My assistant, injured by a hit and run driver the night of my first day at the Ministry of Energy is at work, cheerfully hobbling around on crutches. She may or may not need to have her hip bones bolted together. It all depends on how much she stays off her left leg.

The branch project is to nag her constantly to use her crutches. 

Low Poly Crafts



I built a raccoon to pass the time over the Easter long weekend. 



The racoon started off as 47 different numbered pieces of grey, black and white stiff construction paper, cut, pre-scored, and marked with small numbers to identify which tabs need to be glued together. 

The kits are idiot proof so long as you make folds in the right direction, and glue matching number to number.

The racoon took about seven hours to make. 

Next up: a puffin.

Thanks for reading! 

Have a great week!
