No-one much appreciating (if that's how it's spelt) the jokes inside the crackers. It was the classical but much loved What do you get if you cross a vampire and a snowman? Answer: Frostbite

.......and Claudia and I in our cracker crowns!!

My challenging job...

This is my first "asignment". I coloured in the picture with alpino, (traced from a photocopy) and then I made flowers and leaves out of coloured paper and added a few details with manley wax crayons.... Lola told me I must colour in the same direction because otherwise "lines" appear once scanned and so I must press harder and always in the same direction. Thankyou Blance, thankyou Esdip, for 3 years of valuable lessons and well spent money!

Madrid Blanca!!

The old Dickensish factory as seen from my kitchen. A contrast between the white snow and the dark dirty walls and broken glassed windows.

Fom behind the glass, dripping with condensation.

No dry clothes today!! (luckily we have a nice tenderete standing in the living room)

A piece of demolished or collapsed roof, looking very beautifull and melancholic....

This morning... This is calle Torrelaguna, where the restaurant and santillana are. This was yesterday around 18h, on my way home.

Depth of snow apon a car's roof, (from which we scooped up lots to make snowballs!!)

This is the Santillana building, just so you can imagine me going in through that door with the impressive number 60!!

I hope to be able to show you some more ( arty ones, pretty ones, when Laura passes them on to me from her own camera. Some of these are mobile pictures, or Claudia's camera.)
