It’s still freezing in the Netherlands and yes, our drainpipe is still frozen.
\nI haven’t done the laundry all week (don’t worry, I have plenty of clothes
\nto wear – not being able to choose the faves from my closet forced me to
\nmake long forgotten picks from my wardrobe. I could even be seen in tights
\nwith a flutter skirt and a woolen cardigan!)<\/p>\n

Luckily, the weather forecast predicts warmer temperatures. YEAY!
\nI know, most of the Dutchies are disappointed that the ‘Elfstedentocht’
\n(see this post<\/a>) won’t be held, but I’m not one of them. If it were up to me
\nit would be raining hot water as soon as possible, preferably right now!<\/p>\n

Today is but the same as yesterday… sun, blue sky and freezing.
\nI wrote this haiku…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koude winterdag<\/p>\n

de wereld in herhaal stand<\/p>\n

mag het nu dooien?<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nCold winter morning<\/p>\n

the world stays in repeat mode<\/p>\n

how much longer still?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For ‘Haiku My Heart Friday’.
\nFor more haiku and photos, visit Rebecca at Recuaerda mi Corazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OK, that was the freezing part – on to the lunatic (you were wondering eh?!)<\/p>\n

I made this spread a couple of weeks ago (during my ‘blog vacation’, yes)
\nI played with water colour paints and water soluble crayons, in an attempt
\nto practise my drawing skills.
\nPink Floyd’s song ‘Brain Damage’ had me triggered…<\/p>\n

The Lunatic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the pages one by one, so you can take a closer look

The Lunatic is on the Grass<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lunatic is in My Head<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Size: 13 x 17 cm - 5.12 x 6.7 inch)<\/pre>\n
While working on these pages, I thought it might be a fun idea to create
\na series of this ‘lunatics’, but the idea was pushed to the background
\nand now I don’t know if I will follow… what do you think?
\nIs my ‘lunatic’ worth a series? Mwaaahhh…<\/p>\n
I’m facing yet another busy weekend, but it’s going to be fun.
\nThere’s a lot of creating involved you know – but I can’t tell you more
\n*teehee*<\/p>\n
For the ones skating this weekend: stay on your feet (uhm… ‘skates’)
\nand for the chilly ones among you: stay warm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
