Sun

Not feeling inspired to make my hands dirty anymore today, so no drawing. The offcuts from one of those logs went in the stove this evening, burning very nicely and we need them to do so with the cold getting more severe. I suppose it is difficult to get a picture of life elsewhere with pictures, even being in a place it is hard to take in a lot. I remember a friend of my wife's coming to visit and being told that I had made the stove. It just didn't occur to her that it meant I had made the whole thing, twiddles and all. She said that she had just assumed there was some place where you could buy bits like the door and then fix them on.
I remember when I was sketching ideas for the thing that the door arrangement might look a bit like the sun and the moon with the round window and round air vent. Certainly a hot and fiery sun today. There appears to be some sort of evil looking chap with wicked eyebrows poking his head out of the flames in there, thankfully not actually the case. Approximately seven seasons of solar storage being consumed for us to toast our feet in front of.
