    I think this app needs to adjust its notification settings.

  • Magic Castle Classic Art Building Blocks

    Magic Castle Classic Art Building Blocks

    Found this in a charity shop for a few quid.

    Then we opened the box

    Yep, its that mini Lego stuff

    And the instructions are this kind, where you just play spot the difference between the steps.

    Blink, skip a step and you won’t know for a few weeks

    Oh well, let’s go…

  • Tent test

    My mum and sister want to borrow our giant 6 man tent, so I brought it over and put it up.

    Unfortunately two segments of the poles have split down their length. It’s been bodged with some gorilla tape, but it appears replacement segments exist, so if the poles fail completely I’ll look at fixing them.

  • Fallout 2026

    Went for a walk around a disused mine and rubbish dump nature reserve. The place has a bunch of paths around various fenced off bits of ground with warning signs.

    This nice pool of water was quite obviously an opencast mine at some point, and those mysterious black pipes are all over the side of what was until recently an active landfill site.

    I need to go back and do further exploration.

  • Potato Planting

    Went to the allotment, planted some potatoes, a rhubarb plant and weeded the garlic.
