@ Chimaera - Post Card

Navy Flower Power Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

“Sounds like a great idea!" replied Ezekiel. "There’s an evening class you can join when we get back!"

"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Ezekiel," said Dreamer, "for this experience alone?"
Ezekiel, lost in admiration of the virtual reality scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Chimaera - Countryside of Old
Travelling back in time, to a simple life of hard work, no distraction of electronic media, one could "tweet" with ink and pen, and gossip was at the town square.

@ Chimaeras - Street Art
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a surreal painting," Bella said, offering Ezekiel a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for herself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Bella!" said Ezekiel.

@ Chimaera - Cut the RED Wire
"In our tour brochure it says red and yellow are the most appetising colours. The combination of these two colours boosts the appetite of the average person," said Ezekiel.
"That makes sense," replied Maybelle. "When you think that so many eateries incorporate those colours!"

The clock is ticking, counting down the seconds, and it's up to you to cut the RED wire! But which red wire?

@ Chimaera - Candlelight Dinner?
"Oh, Ezekiel! You know that dark grey you see as soon as you turn off the lights—just before complete darkness takes over or your eyes adjust to the lack of light?" asked Alexandra.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as 'Eigengrau'. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"
Chimaera - Candlelight Dinner?
Is it real? Or just a clever ruse to confuse? The candle of eternal flame, or just a chalk drawing done in 3-D street art?

Chimaera - Story Time
What's that word? It looks like picnic, but it's got a few different letters?
It's panic. It means that you feel like you need to run away.
But I don't want to run away, I want to read what happens next, will she eat the porridge or not?

@ Chimaera - Penmanship
Ezekiel and Dragoon shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Ezekiel. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Dragoon. “This is my best side.”
Chimaera - Penmanship
Slants! Take the time to use cursive to express your thoughts, but it's an art form, slanting to the right, leaning to the left. Remember, practice makes perfect.

"Did you know, Hershel, that the exact same thing can taste differently depending on the colour of the crockery in which it's served?"
"So which colour crockery is best, then, Ezekiel?"
"Experiments in which volunteers drank the same hot chocolate from mugs of four different colours—white, cream, red, and orange—found that the hot chocolate in the orange and cream-coloured mugs were considered better tasting than the other two."
