Done painting for the day. Well, drawing to be more accurate. Have got the basic foreground and the main bits of the car down in pencil, though not ready to go anywhere near it in ink yet. Still too many things that could go wrong.

Now sat back with a and one of those Mr Kipling winter whirl things.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Saw over 100 deer in a field yesterday. According to a local old boy it’s common. Must ride that way more often.

 

[Gravity Aided]

We were supposed to have 1-3" of snow, but just got rain today, and some ice and hail to start, which I missed, being at mass. Now having a crispy chicken sandwich made in the air fryer, and topped with onion, mayo, and pepper jelly. Like chicken fillet. Sharing my chips(Not fried, air fried) with the dog as I study landscaping ideas.

One of the local schools has announced that we can decide if it is safe for the kids to go or not tomorrow. First time I've known this in Germany.

This is now a general announcement for the whole state. At the moment it looks like 70-95km/h gusts in the morning, getting worse over midday, then dipping back overnight and back up to 85 km/h the day after.

You'll be cycling there and back?

Just had supper; a big bowl of soup, a hot lamb toastie and half a papaya.

Where and back?

 

[classic33]

Where and back?

School, where else!

You'll then be able to look back in later life and gaze in wonder at your speed, uphill.

Ah, I see.

Alas the schools are due east of here, and the wind is going to be blowing it's hooley from the south.

Subject of which, it's getting blustery out there, we can now hear it with the windows closed and the shutters down.

You could try "sailing", albeit close hauled.

We're on a very exposed plateau, 400m above sea level. I reckon going out with as much as an umbrella would result in being carried off and landing in @Unkraut's garden within the hour...

That'd take some beating on a bike. A KOM that'd stand.

Just chatting with a Dutch friend on the Book of Faces...

About his participation in today's Dutch national championships for cycling against the wind.

 

[classic33]

For a Guinness by chance.
