Weekly update 7/52 Summary of January challenges

First day of February and time to make a summary of my January Challenges. 
No Alcohol ✅
No sweets or chocolate ✅
I am very proud to report that I managed with both ! 
For February I have come up with a perfect challenge
Champagne ever Tuesday (because February is I think the most boring month of the year and Tuesday the weekday without an identity) so why not bright it up with some bubbles.
Staying off sweets will be continued as I have some sort of sugar addict not that I eat heaps but I do feel that the sugar controls me more then I control the sugar. 

What else to report from the last week of January...
One sunny day (btw I think Düsseldorf only had a couple of sunny days in all of January - it has really been very very grey) me and Loren did our lunch walk and as usual passing through Kalkum Schloß park. Also as usual I took up my phone to try and take a picture of the green parrots. Düsseldorf has a large colony of green parrots ( Rose-ringed-paraketees) hundreds of them and you can hear their screeching in nearly every park in and around Düsseldorf. They came here in the 80s if they escaped or was let out has not been confirmed but they have since lived and became more and more. They are often high up in the trees and flies very fast so they are bloody impossible to get a good picture of them. 
But this sunny January day I finally managed to not only get a picture where you can actually see that it is a bird but a pretty good picture. 

I have been working on and finished an illustration also. One of many illustrations which starts without an idea. And surprise surprise it turned out that this God damn pandemic had been inspiration to yet another illustration. You know the face masks which are not only covering everyones mouth and nose these days (at least here on the continent) but which you also can find everywhere on the ground together with cans and wrappers and all other trash which we human-beings doesn't seem to be able to control. 

1. In working progress from Filip's room 

2. Layer by layer idea after idea getting there 

3. I think I am done 

I have so many illustration from this pandemic that I soon can arrange a small Covid-19 exhibition 

Last but not least on the creative note. Me and Filip started a super fun project making train crossings and signs for all his billions of different trains and train-tracks. This was fun and we even bought little lights that I added to the barricade. This will be continued.  

Have a good week !
