Rockin' robin

I put this Robin in the freezer a couple of days ago, in a bid to kill off any flies/maggots that got to it before I did. I plan to take it out of the freezer soon, put it in a cardboard box to keep the pesky flies off and let it dessicate. Question: how long do flies/maggots, etc survive at freezing temperatures? How long should I leave Mr Robin in the the cold before I try and dry him out? I think this is a beautiful picture; it looks like he's on a little bed. Sorry, I'm losing the plot; I like the colours!

Mr Duckling is beginning to smell rather foul... (no pun intended, but I just noticed it!)

Hmm. After a morning being a lady of leisure and drinking coffee with a mad girl friend (who very impressively can't sit still for more than 2 minutes), I'm feeling rather creative. I don't know what's brought this urge on, but now feel a dilemma... The house is a pigsty (that's being kind) and could do with some serious attention; I have a lot of organising to do for an exhibition I'm supposed to be organising (that is creeping up on me rather more quickly than it's meant to); or I could go with the urge and go play in the 'studio' (it seems very pretentious calling the back bedroom a studio, but 'studio' is a little more motivating than 'back bedroom'). My head aches with the pressure of it all. Sod it. I'm going to go and have some lunch, speak to you later!
