I learned on Saturday that I got a good hand drill ember in my most recent demonstration, but I hadn't got a good enough tinder nest to exploit it.

The good news was that the guy I coached after my failure got both things right and made fire. To watch his reaction just confirmed everything I felt about what it means to crack a traditional living skill.

I learnt how to make butted maille, what SWMBO refers to as man knitting.

Not to mess up your ridge line in to a bundle and then set it up in the rain! Massively wet!

I've learned to stop buying gear and spend more time actually outside - spent 20 minutes walking along within 40 foot of a dear in my local woods and made my day

I learned on Tuesday that these bad boys were in my gallbladder...

Sleeping pills, midnight pee and hammock not a good combination

I've experienced the joy of majorly cutting back a hawthorne tree. Sarcasm very much intended!

Not to read SAGA magazine whilst waiting at the doctors! Debbie Harry from Blondie was in it and she's gonna be 69 this year! I feel very old now!

What that lass has gained in years has not detracted from her appeal, she can break my glass anytime

Breaking glass was Hazel O'Connor Oh and she was 69 last week

I have only recently learned, despite being 52 in May, that even if the working days of the week are hot and sunny is no guarantee the weekend will be more of the same. Sitting here at my desk watching rainwater dripping off the corrugated roof of the outside lean to. It hasn't really stopped all day either.

Sheesh! There ought to be a law!
