    A lecturer from Aberystwyth is spending 24 hours in a ditch up a mountain to raise awareness about soil ecology. Fascinating stuff being livestreamed these days but am more interested in their clothing as she's wearing a divers dry-suit. I've never worn one and had less than comfortable...

    Tis migration season here again and an old red leather armchair that had become separated from its sofa and was seen dragging it's way towards a tragic end in the communal bin.

    Day Out Back2Brechfa

    Some say it's about the journey not the destination, all I know is the route sucks and I never want to go through the last three years again. Anyhow, fate has now officially washed me up on the shores of Brechfa forest and my gear has finally come out of storage. I used to know the place but...

    Ahoy To Ye Pirates!

    But should it be ever washed? That is the question! Should it continue to retain the aromatic fug of a hundred dodgy bedsits and glow like a Jackson Pollock during a Police search Or be thoroughly cleansed before being raised again in anger aboard a new ship?

    Whale saves train!

    A metro train in Spijkenisse, near the city of Rotterdam, crashed through a barrier at the end of the tracks shortly before midnight on Sunday. But rather than plummeting into the water below, ended up being balanced on the sculpture of a whale's tail at the De Akkers metro station.

    Net Needle attempt

    Fed up making spoons for the moment so instead attempted to do a Net Needle. I know it's a bit short after all it was my last bit of branch and supposed to be a spoon.
