It's not that we were there to play. But gol darn it, it was finally winter! Minus 2 celsius on the corner of Bay and Queen. Double scarves, double tights under jeans and the wind chill found its way to bare skin anyway.



We passed the hockey players late, after supper together. Tim had arrived, we took a moment over dinner. Then, back at it.



What a day. The compressor had gone out at five am on two consecutive days, for no apparent reason. With the weather still warm, we couldn't afford to have the refrigeration system on the blink. The water wasn't coming through the hose???. Here Eric and Jaz are down the square, back to bringing it in with buckets, just like the Fenestrelle make-do.



But in the tent, art was being made. Tim fit right in. Here's Eric mixing green.



It's still quite a cramped workspace, and the ice warehouse skedded for us is somehow unavailable now. Esp with the weather an uncertain ride (it goes above zero on Friday) we've got to get more space -- maybe a refrigeration truck.



Today, cheeks are red again; production is at a faster clip -- the white on the skating rink seems denser, and everyone out the window has gloves on. I just saw that BC has another snow storm! Marielle arrives tomorrow. Jaz and I visited Eric today in his gold tower, saw close up his Van Gough, his ARTists artwork. Laughed.
