I'm just back to the fire after a brisk — as brisk as I could mange — walk to the studio. It's not very economically to have a house that you don't use a lot, but still have to heat. When I saw that the temperatures were plummeting again, I felt that I had to check on the house. I rather pay for the oil than for repairing frozen pipes! Paying for a new battery for the car is enough! The old froze the other day — and it has been rather complicated to manage without a car. It happened on December 30, and with all our holidays between Christmas and New Year I couldn't get it fixed until yesterday. And since tomorrow is another holiday I used the taxi-service I'm entitled to yesterday, and went to the pharmacy and grocery stores. Now we have food for over a week and I won't leave the fire until it gets milder!tisdag 5 januari 2010
It's still beastly cold

I found Ruth Addinall's web site the other day — and have to share it with you. I've spent a lot of time looking at the paintings and trying to verbalize the feelings they evoke. I'm sure it has to do with the tranquility, I find all her paintings harmonious — they make me happy.
And yes, Ruth has been kind enough to allow me to show her paintings here.

How grateful I am for my bedroom
When I looked out of the window this morning I saw the deer family's bedroom. It's a doe with two fawns. They had already left, but we see them quite often.
I love to sleep outside — but not when it is deep snow and -20°C!
