Funny feet!

Adam finished sewing the shoes mentioned in my previous post. This photo doesn’t do them justice, they look much funnier in real life especially paired with his suit pants. He’s reading over my shoulder saying “They’re not supposed to be funny, they’re supposed to be intimidating! They’re for pillaging in!” Somehow I don’t think it was their footware that made Vikings so feared way back when… They still need to be stained, sealed and have lacing put in to keep them on at the ankle so not quite properly finished but the sewing and turning right side out is the … Continue reading Funny feet!

What I did this Wednesday…

I was on canteen duty at the kids school today, I start at 11:00am and finish at about 2:00pm at which point I usually hang around doing odd jobs for Uniform Pool rather than go home only to turn round and come back 10 minutes later (school finishes at 2:50pm but we mums tend to arrive about 2:30pm for chat time as we wait for the kids, besides if you come later you end up parked off to buggery). Problem with this is I don’t usually eat morning tea preferring to have a substantial lunch that then carries me through … Continue reading What I did this Wednesday…

The pasta salad I bought for lunch turned out to be much oilier than it seemed in the display and my points guesstimation had me … Continue reading WWC Wk1 Day2

Cool stuff

I promised photos of weaponry and other cool stuff a while back, so here I give you the collection so far. Adam made the shield, Caitlin’s shoes and David’s boots. There’s a spear and a pair of boots (for himself) in production. The bow, dagger and drinking horn were bought at Abbey. The dagger is purely for decorative purposes on account of that pointy bit you see on the end there 😉 Front of the shield already showing signs of having had the crap beaten out of it with spears and swords. Back of the shield showing hand hole behind … Continue reading Cool stuff

Weigh-in week ummm….

I think I’ll call this week 2. I hit the highest weight I’ve been, since starting back in Feb ’06, on Aug 14, but since then it feels like I’ve finally come out of some kind of fog and have re-committed to getting on with things. So, week 2 and I have a loss of 2.1kg to report, with which I am rather pleased. I tracked every day for the first time in months, I drank my water and I did a few walks plus a very energetic session of bowling and hey, guess what? It works! Who’d’ve thunk it? … Continue reading Weigh-in week ummm….
