Going good so far, fighting starts later

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

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

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.

Banana madness

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!

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.

Good luck Poppy
