Twas Brillig...

Quote of the moment:
"The Bluewater retail and leisure centre in Kent has banned shoppers who swear or wear hooded tops." - BBC News. Caps too. It was probably meant as a security measure, much like making motorcyclists take off their helmets when they go into banks. Besides, it's not even in Essex, but Kent! My parents may be disappointed in their hope of leaving the chavs behind by moving to Broadstairs.

Today I took advantage of the sunny weather to cycle into Felsted and mow the lawn for my grandparents, who are on holiday AGAIN. It's amazing how many holidays they go on... That's what you get for being a consultant, I guess. Medics. BAH.


My lovely sexy monster of an out-sized bike.

It took a mere 20 minutes to reach Elwyn's, which was impressive, but the wind got up on the way home and that took about twice as long.

While I was there with my camera, I photographed my immense structural masterpieces for my portfolio:


The pergola I designed and co-built with my grandpa after GSCE.


The less brilliant birdhouse, cobbled from bits and pieces in the shed after my grandparents envied my CDT-lab effort. That's a vertical photo, by the way.


Upon my return I found that my father had failed to walk Ben, as agreed, so I took him out. I also took the chance to photograph the flowers that have sprung up in the mysterious little netted off area in the wood:


Flowers in the Tulgy Wood.


Orchids might they be, hmmm?
