Ledene krogle

V soboto je snežilo, včeraj zjutraj pa …

After the Saturday snow we woke into a crispy Sunday morning …

Sonce, –15 stopinj, sneg pa pravi pršič. Mi pa notri na toplem :)

Sunny, –15 degrees C, a powdery snow and us tucked safely inside in the warm house :)

Baloni, napolnjeni s pobarvano vodo (ja, to smo delali; natančna navodila so na Instructables) so čez noč po zgornji strani dobro pomrznili, spodnja stran, ki se je dotikala betona, pa je ostala tekoča. Zato sem jih za nekaj ur obrnil na glavo.

Water-filled balloons (or Ice Gems as they call them on Instructables) have frozen up over then night – except at the bottom. So I turned them upside-down for few hours.

V dno smo naredili luknjo in odlili vodo. Potem smo ledene krogle postavili na polico pred glavni vhod.

We made a hole in the bottom and poured the unfrozen water out. Then we put them on a display before the main entrance.

Malce proti pričakovanjem je najlepše uspela prozorna krogla.

Quite unexpectedly the transparent “gem” was the most successful.

Dobra vila Borovniška na delu.

Danes bodo še stale tam, proti večeru pa jih bom preselil. Napovedujejo temperaturo nad ničlo in ne bi rad, da se vsa ta pobarvana voda zlije po novi fasadi.

I’ll have to move them away in the evening. Temperatures are expected to raise over 0 degrees today and I don’t want all this coloured water to flow over out nice newly painted house.
