Shrooms
Check out these mushrooms! Saw them in the park or rec as people down here call them. Dog in picture for size reference although I could have photoshopped it. BTW it’s my policy never to mess around with pictures apart from cropping and rotating. It should be right from the start!
Lego 4 Model 5816
Made this for #1. He has given up dummies and posted them to Santa. When he had returned from the post box Santa had left him a Duplo set. Why the dummies had to go in an envelope when Santa was visiting anyway to drop the present off I don’t know! So here we have Mack, Lightning McQueen and the Sheriff from Cars. All superglued together as usual.
Blogtime
I’m so busy at the moment I just don’t have time to write anything for the blog. I am aware that this post is now a logical contradiction but I’ll keep writing.
Work is busy and having two kids means there’s no time for anything at home. Although I wouldn’t have it any other way.
In the mean time have a look at a web page with some Wackos. Only a few, mind. Given the billions of humans on the Earth the wacko total is probably quite high.

Fragile
Makes you realise just how fragile this Earth is.

Plane Finder AR
Just installed Plane Finder AR onto the phone. Point your camera at a plane and it’ll tell you
absolutely brilliant. I love it. Just right for an aircraft geek.
Night time picture of screen! That’s what time it is here!
Toys of the son part 3
The next set of toys #1 took to nursery.
Toys of the son part 2
Next set of toys #1 took to nursery.
Toys of the son part 1
An occasional commentary of the toys the sons are playing with or breaking. This time a toy #1 took to nursery for the day.
Lego 3 Model 7235
Made this as a reward for son coping with Tesco shopping. Again, superglued it together to make sure he doesn’t feed the small pieces to his small brother.
Cruel Advert
Clicked on a google news link to Telegraph website article about diets from the BMJ. Advert is brilliant.
Mobile Phones
I have owned a number of mobile phones and most of them were rubbish. Going to give you a rundown of them from the earliest.
Phone number 1 – sometime in 1999 or so:
The Ericsson A1018
The order of the next few phones is not remembered easily. But here goes:
The next was:
then:
And then the nifty fold-out keyboard:
Then we get to the first smart phone:
Then the brilliant and pretty usable N95, it was the last Nokia I owned that worked well:
Then the big memory but pretty useless N97:
Finally, a phone that works. The iPhone 4. Until then the iPhone specification was pretty rubbish. It took a lot of soul searching to convince myself that selling out to the walled garden of Apple was worth it. However, I have to say that the iPhone is brilliant. It works!
Definitely Autumn
Took this picture during a dog walk (there’s a surprise). The colour of the leaves was gorgeous but probably not captured without decent filter or image editing software (which I don’t use).
