Proper Walk Returns
Return of the
proper walk
shot.
Note that this one is also an example of a
proper job
:-)

Comfort Zone
I spent four (long) days last week
outside my comfort zone but having fun.
This pic above was me at about 1.30 am at the
end
of long day #3.
I learnt a lot, including that learnings isn't a word.
Proper Sitting
A slightly variation in the proper walking foot shot .
This time I'm sitting.
It's good to leave your comfort zone...occasionally.
fresh air
H & I have been bit sick :-(
so we jumped at the opportunity to get out in the fresh air today with a walk and some frisbee at
Golden Gardens
some went a bit further with open air tai chi
(at least I think that's what it is)
while others were just ridiculous.
I mean, we're 47°N and it's February :-)
Waiting for buses
The timetable for my bus changed at the weekend, as too did the route, which made for a slightly confusing trip to work today (made worse by a substandard edition of TWiT ).
The sunset in the pouring rain this evening while waiting
for the bus home made up for it.
Oh, and I got home to the news that
Sammy the Salmon
has, most probably, saved the school.
Sweet.
Monopoly on a Sunday afternoon
A blur of frantic activity as H strives once again to dominate
the family monopoly championships.
Math homework was never this fun when I was six;
but then I didn't get math homework when I was six.
Not what it is
Smile of the day.
Warning sticker on a car door cup holder
indicating that contents in open cups may spill.
IMHO depends very much on the driving style of the driver...
Team Zune
Music, news and opinions on the go. Cool.
Wireless sync when I'm suffering from a cold and banished to the spare room. Cooler.
Being part of the social? Haven't figured that one out yet.
Also means I'm not nicking Fay's iPod when I get the bus to work!
Super bowl!
The
Super bowl
is, for some reason, rather big here. Big enough that you'd want to take advantage of the lack of crowds and head for the slopes
(assuming you could avoid the
dynamite being dropped from choppers
).
F celebrated in traditional style, with a case of Bud.
King
of
beers
indeed.
fun at the park
H had a party so we headed off to the park for some excitement with the ' big tree ', ' boy eating tree ' and ' spiral staircase of doom '...
...followed by a pit-stop at the coffee shop for chocolate cake. Result.
bike man
F is getting pretty speedy, the trick is going to be getting the training wheels off without him noticing...
cottage lake - frozen (just)
Or at least frozen enough to have fun with the boys skimming stones and chunks of ice across the surface.
I *love* the sound of skating ice in the mornings.
