Added 2020-10-25 18:11:30 +0000 UTCSo, sorry for the hiatus, but I enjoyed a few wonderful days with my parents and my daughter - visiting the zoo with two new(ish)born polar bear girls named Anna and Elsa (and falling so madly in love with a Caucasian squirrel that I can't promise I won't put it in a costume), enjoying relatively low coronavirus cases and fewer restrictions than at home, having a tiny little birthday party and staying up late into the night to discuss the state of the world and German as well as US politics. There are few people with whom I can talk for hours and hours and hours like my parents. <3
That meant no art. But I'm pretty sure I'll continue the art for a while after October. At the very least, if you're drawing dormice, you have less mental capacity to worry about the state of the world, which is turning some frigthening corners right about now...
School starts again tomorrow. A local school in a neighbouring district, which experienced an incredible 600 new infections per 100k inhabitants over the last seven days, has already halved classes. I suppose it's only a matter of time before my day job becomes something rather unrecognisable from what I usually do, too...

Holding you and yours in good thoughts as the world churns away towards year-end, and changes of some sort. Hoping they will be good changes, and kind to all I hold dear.

2020-10-25 19:10:47 +0000 UTCThey look more like characters than steeds to me. I still think dormice would ride on birds, but I haven't found out for certain.

2020-10-25 19:10:35 +0000 UTCHe is delightful! Squirrel in a costume also sounds delightful. So glad you got some real refresh-time!

2020-10-25 19:04:58 +0000 UTCSo glad you had some good family days - always precious, now maybe more than ever. Infection number here higher than ever before, with new restrictions to follow. Had to google caucassian squirrel - that helped on a bleak day 😉 You’ll find somewhere to fit one in - perhaps as a noble steed?...
