Snow!!!

So its been snowing for the last couple days and I have been really excited because it is actually sticking to the ground! So that means that a snowman is definately in my near future.  Perhaps a snowball fight if I can convince Dixon to go outside some more but for the time being I just took some pictures of the snow falling.

 And there was loads of it!

 So Dixon didn't want to help make the snowman, but he did take pictures for me C:

 I have no idea why I didn't notice that his head was lopsided but he was lovely anyway, Dixon make his eyes out of potatos for me.

Its been a while

So its been a wee while, and I haven't really been up to too much just sort of doing nothing, I did finish my painting although that was some time ago. I haven't really been feelin like doin anything lately, might jsut be because winter is starting and its cold and rainy. Maybe I miss snow.  So thats mostly why I ahven't been up to much and I haven't really been taking pictures of anything
I really do fancy heading over to the library though, a good book would be amazing right now, but I might have to get a library card and I jsut have no money right now. So that would spoil everything going all the way up there and not being able to take out a book. My joyful wee walk up to the librar would be ruined by not being able to bring a book home with me. I am gonna look online to see if I can find out if I can in fact get a library card on the cheap or if its out of my reach. Tomorrow will be a more eventful day! Hopefully.
I am also gonna perhaps look at the charity shop I could probabyl get a dead cheap book from there.
Now I can't get my computer to read my memor card from my camera so I can't post a photo of my painting like I wanted to but perhaps next time.

Starting a new painting....

I am starting a new painting, well I started it yesterday but then left to go watch fireworks and drink a weee bit, and when I say a wee bit I mean so much that Dixon spewed a bunch and was covered in mud by the time we got home! The fireworks was a pretty swell time. Not as many people out as last year, but I think we got out there a lot later as well. But in the end it was a good time. Here's some of the firework action, I couldn't get a lot of pictures of fireworks cause I was using my phone again, I still haven't gotten batteries for my camera.

But this is the start of my painting its still covered in pencil, but I did do all of the drawing on it yesterday so I was pretty excited about that and I am really liking it so far although the watch does need a bit more work. I do like everything else especially the chickadee!

Off on a Walk Today

I have been asking Dixon for about a week now to go for a walk but everytime we get out of bed and ready and fed and everything it starts raining buckets down on us and we end up curling up to scary movies and comedy panel shows instead. It was so cold yesterday, that we had to bundle up soooo much just to get to the shops and buy some pasta! It was only two minutes away! And we were soaked! I fortunately wore two pairs of socks so my feet were toasty, but Dixon's didn't fare so well.

But onto today! It finally stayed dry and after two rounds off washing clothes and hanging them out we were off! since we always go down to the shore we decided to go up Clemiston Hill today and its a gorgeous wooded area; (Also my camera decided to die after taking two pictures, but I rememebr that my phone takes pretty good pictures if you aren't zoomed in so here they are)

Check out the quality on them!

Dixon told me ages ago about these bomb shelters from the war that were meant to be for the Queen apparently, if Scotland ever got bombed while she was stayin here! They go miles underground and are covered in grafitti and I forgot completely about them, but apparent;y they are just a short walk away from our house, I thought they were ages away, now we didn't ahve any lanterns or nothin to go into the shelters and since there are holes and all that business to fall into we stayed safely above ground. I did have a good look around though;

 

 I think it all looked pretty awesome from up there! We decided ( once dixon testd the safeness of the roof) That we would have a wee sammich (or sandwich if you don't speak Courtenay, which apparentely Dixon does not) up there before heading back around and home;

 I may or may not have been hungry still and tried to munch his face! He's not really that amused is he.
All in all though it turned out to be a great day! I do still need to work out how to make a nice layout or at least find one temporarily, but I am very picky.
Back to procrastinating about my drawing C:
