Winged Rats, or was that pigeons? Either way - I know they are so every day items, but when they are practically posing for you - it seems wrong not to indulge them. A brief insight into the world of the winged scavenger.

Sorting pictures from recent adventures continues in the background. Amongst them of a bow and arrow adventure in Estonia at Tallinn Castle.

Now, the question I ask myself is how, and at what point did the "I don't want to do / hate PE/games" became the win craving monster I can be at the drop of a hat now?

The most recent revisit to this being the "winner stays on" use-the-non-sighted-non-recurve-old-school-bow to shoot two-lengths-of-arrows at the targets, which quickly became "here is a small bottle of alcohol, congratulations, move along sir."

Sunday - "we should DO something today" "what shall we do?" - "well Bodrhyddan has its open day"... "get organised, and lets sort some food."

Okay - so it was more 'overly warm to hot' than haut cuisine - and it was of questionable dietary value - however we had a great time, slumped on the grass, sandwiches, watching the world go by, wander around the gardens and back home again suitable outdoors-ed, and freshness of air-ed. The stuff Sundays are made of.

Time to kill this weekend - took a ride over to the National Park on the off chance of meeting up with Rob on completion of his three peaks challenge (the big gurl used a car to get between them!) and, well, hell - just to get out, get some air, throw on some boots and a rucksack and go for a wander. Some pictures (predictably) followed - posted to Flickr.

Back from our jolly around the Baltic / Gulf of Finland a fortnight ago (Denmark, Germany, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Norway), photographs posted for today. Okay - fair enough - two weeks - but it's done. Processed of the less frameable images into some kind of sense and viewable form, and uploaded for friends and family to my private gallery (for those who have been granted access). Given the fact I am not noted for my memory I will also get around to annotating as and where I can. Next job is to sort out the more presentable ones... then done and dusted. Yay. I currently seem snowed under with stuff to sort, process, and computers to fix : /

...and yes if you have forgotten your login I can sort you a new one - no problem, ask.

On the off chance that someone in the St Asaph are of Denbighshire, North Wales has some space in their world for an older boy cat - can you drop me a line. A colleague has gone from two cats to one, and a local wanderer has moved in. That works fine if the remaining sibling is fine with it - but this is not the case. Not everyone can have an Edward : /

I appreciate this is unlikely but hes running low on time so what-the-hell. More information from current adopted human below.

My world is a very green one, and one that is festooned with those large daisy type things. Fan-tastic. Welcome June, you have been missed.

After two more glorious days of sunshine bringing our holiday fortnight to an end - we are rested, and ready for the return to work.

With around 5000 images to process (although a lot of panoramas involved) - there may be a delay in their release, but I promise not as long as the 13 month to the release of the last batch.

As my hair goes grayer, and the pupils I used to teach now appear to be married with kids I am becoming increasingly aware that there is more to this 'work thing' than being better/more technical.

A fine full weekend of family visitors. We wrapped up a little to keep out the chilly wind we went for a wander along Llandudno Prom after a particularly fine fish pie supper from the talented Mrs H. What we found was Showmans Engines, Lifeboats, Lights, and the smell of coal and steam. Their Extravaganza weekend apparently, side streets with old school attractions - alas lights out before we got there.

Some times... sometimes it means its chuffing cold. Sometimes, well sometimes it means you get to go half blind while appreciating the view, obstacles and all.

Here is to more summer evenings.
