bird art on the rail, t-towels, orphans fortify the castle

Oh, Hello, I will just leave this here for you...

Before the pelting rain and wind , little bird leaves a gift on the railing. unaware that the rain would sweep it away, organic art is like that.  Never mind, there is more where that came from.

Art on a grand scale , especially in protest,  was highly effective in Vienna , as two architect students , dismayed at the public's lack of concern, built a futuristic city in the  city fountain . It took weeks and many volunteers to construct the eco -town,  using concrete blocks.

Here- A team of Austrian students installed a model city in the centre of Vienna to show how much housing and infrastructure could be built with the €19 billion (£15 billion) that the government is paying to bail out a local bank

The outcome was successful- the government paid attention! The outrage  mollified to some extent,  awareness  protest. Art is a power, no doubt. 

Art @ No Kings march nationwide did have an effect, though small, the orange did shut up for five minutes. Notice was taken.

And now, for a little desperately  needed color - I ordered linen/cotton T-Towels from Spoonflower which came today! Spoonflower had a SALE!  These should make dish washing more fun!  

EEEEK!!!

I enjoy bathing my dishes , pots and pans- getting my fingernails clean, sculpting the suds...warming my hands. When. we moved here there was a dish washer-  had it removed and used the  needed space for kitchen things. A much more pragmatic use .  Never been a fan of dish washers.

Dishes will feel like  it is a party everyday , getting dried by these magnificent towels, how could they not?

 Grey monotonous dull darkness- be GONE-I say! 

Fresca has made the most wonderful marching band hat for one of the girlettes- She used toilet paper core , black  paint and has  cleverly fashioned a feather out of paper. Detailed and fiddly  - she reckons she will make one for each of  the entire marching band !  I marvel! 

The orphans  wear everyday  crowns. They are shored up with heavy matte gel to give them durability because , as I said, the orphans every day casual  wear...There were a few left over rounds of bog roll  core, made  into a chain to protect the castle. Not much protection really, more of a warning to intruders- the orphans , fond of  the  jail ,  are anxious to chain  up a bad guy and keep  him in the slammer. Flora is onboard with that. After she had gone I noticed that the king was still behind bars. I let him out ,  he better behave- cease with his bossiness and pie eating. Flora was cross about his behavior. 
 

The crowns are easy - Fresca's  shako is complicated and masterful! Well done Girlette goddess. 

If I have not posted enough cuteness for this day here is my friend's cat- Norwegian ginger!  And her squirrel on the front step asking  "Please, sir, I want some more."

 

That's it. No moaning today- a break from my  tedium of blah blah blah, this and that. There is too much else to focus on- blowing my nose, sneezing and drinking loads  of tea. Caught Dennis's cold,  I did.
