MAT-MOO: 2010

At the panto

Emma is just managing to not cough too much and we are all enjoying Cinderella

18 for dinner

Going good so far, fighting starts later

Xmas settings

Setting up for Xmas dinner, but no Emma :(

Snow

So we adults made an igloo as the kids buggered off 1/2 way through. But against all odds we managed to finish. LOL

Burning some logs

Been collecting logs over the summer, and they do look better than coal when they burn. Anyway keeping us nice and warm

Trains still running

Although they are running late! But still trying to get in

At work

Some people think I bum around basingstoke all day... well here is my desk :p

Decorating set back

Had a couple of patches on this last wall where the plaster has come off :( more time required now

3 walls done

One to go, woohoo. Did everything I set out to do this weekend, so pretty happy. Just very tired!

Decorating

Had the wallpaper for 3 months plus, so promised to start decorating this weekend.. and I have

Bonfire night

Got our wood stored from a couple of weeks ago nice and dry and burning well

Josh hair cut

Almost looks like q different person, can't get used to his new short hair.... but he never brushed it when it was long and always messy

Wagamama preview

Popped over to Camberley for a free Meal at the opening of wagamama

Garden done

Been gardening just finished and it started to rain! Bad news is that we have another mole, so traps set. Maybe I should collect them for a mole skin coat for Emma as an Christmas present

Spec is moulting

Not the best time if the year for her to moult, silly bird! Quite funny watching her run though as a stream of feathers follows her. Might have to knit her a jumper if it gets any colder.

This banana tree had all but died 2 years ago. Today it has been bought back in after another summer outside. And now there is three of them, really they need to go in a bigger pot, and could well be left out again next winter (but covered)

Kite boarding

Got to try out the board today. Didn't go far but didn't get hurt either

Lub my big screen

My uncle would have loved this Rip Geoff

Clay pigeon shooting

Did some clay pigeon shooting today with Adam down at Marwell, first time I've ever shot a gun, yet alone held one (Apart from an air rifle). Didn't do too badly, and was a good experience!

Emmas bday dinner

Emma enjoying all you can eat Chinese

Me doing a zip wire

Coming down zip line 3

Go ape

Marcus up a tree at go ape

Bowling

Come for a quick thrashing by Troy at a bit of 10th pin

My first Ukulele

Got my first Ukulele yesterday, it's a Makala dolphin by kalaukulele. Not a bad sounding instrument, could do with a string upgrade to make it sound fuller. In 24 hours I have learn a couple or chords and ain't twinkle twinkle little star with Rosie, so not bad after 1 day. Would be nice to be able to play a few songs by Christmas.
