the sun's not yellow it is chicken
Our mission: to design a birthday card for my godson Isken — in less than an hour, on a Sunday.
Fair enough. First draft, pen and ink:
Scan! Colorize! We’ve about half an hour to go. This is where Gaby’s talent comes in:
Print! Glue! Scissors! Viola.
Happy birthday Isken. :)
It took autumn only a week to sneak up on us. But it’s here now, in all its grey, rainy, misty splendor.
Seemed like the perfect timing to upgrade Gaby’s weblog to WP’s latest version. Did an Extreme MakeOverâ„¢ of the theme while at it. Gabriela got me kick-started with a very inspirational autumn inspired header image:
… upon which it was only a matter of picking colors, crunching html tags, css declarations and php commands:
I’m quite satisfied with the way it turned out… Yet I can’t wait for spring to arrive again. Guess I’m not an autumn person.
Spotted this pigeon sitting on top of a chimney right across the road. She seemed exhausted and stayed there for about half an hour just eyeballing us while Gaby and I snapped pictures, before flying off to who knows where.
More snapshots here.
Emma was buried last Tuesday, after a short ceremony. It was a warm and sunny day. Above is the memorial stone Gaby and I made the day before, to lay on her grave. The last song we played in her honour was Astronaut by Lais and Spinvis. For that is what she is now: weightless, listening to the planets that sing softly of the wonders that await her.
To all who have commented here, emailed us, or made a phonecall: it warms our heart to know you’re out there caring. It is often said that Music Is The Best — and in the end it probably is. But right now, you guys are the best.
Thank you.
