I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

Geez, Joc, what's with scrapping the Roman noomerals? I'm all cafuffled... Although maybe they bring back painful memories of doing calculus back in your school years. Must have been tough growing up back in BC

Damn Spider pig

Im so dumb, I was thinking 'Hey, I didn't know Joc lived in British Columbia...'

Err - ror!

Dragon's Kingdom - Stop typing "alot" when you mean "a lot"! - Disappointed

That's ageist, that is! I was just trying to save space. Two characters instead of three
But if you insist, and this is for Kat's benefit... XVI.

Hehe, sorry Joc, that unfortunate reflex comes from 30 years of my Dad starting all his stories with "when I was in the Roman army..."

Thanks for the noomerals, I feel much better now!

Damn Spider pig

Don't ya mean XXX years, Kat?

I made a snowman with an ice candle head. This is the picture of the back of the snowmans head. The picture I took of the whole snowman didn't look right.

In the absence of a decent snowfall, I've had to make my own ice.
This is from a rubber mould of a sun-face, filled with water and left in the freezer overnight.
Simple backlighting from a candle and photographed on a time exposure it didn't look too bad when I took the shot.

Because I couldn't think of anything else...and it was 2am when I took it...

Oh, this is still open! *sneaks in*






The glitter is really ice, on the pylon in front of our door. And the glass bowl is reflecting a few sparks from the fireworks.

I tried to make one of these for my daughter all winter... but the snow is always gone after one night... :-(

Is an ice-candle head like a carved out pumpkin head? (don't want to sound like an idiot, but the last time we got enough snow to make an actual decent sized snowman, was something like twelve years ago...and that lasted about a day...It's a pity you can't make things with rain...although...mudman? I did make a slushpuppie once. It was a cocker spaniel. Cute, but it only lasted about an hour.)
