The continuing voyages of 99 Days: Phone emptying and projects galore


Besides what is my busiest month of the year I have a million projects floating around in my head and on very rare occassions I get to actually stop SBLing (doing Star Base Leicester stuff) and actually try a project. Even rarer I remember to take a photo and I've just emptied my phone of photo's so lets see what I have...

Onions:

My first batch of onions :D so much more successful than the tomatos.

The green house is now home to a million bugs and every time I look in there they've got bigger and bigger and there's a yellow and brown spider I've decided to call Fred.  But it will have to come down soon... Next green project? Conker or acorn...












Sitting on the...bus stop

Sitting at a bus stop you see some amazing sights... this nearly blinded me, but it was awesome to see. Wonder what this formation is called?














Ooh clever

Supposedly the first airless ball that can bounce too. Yes I tested the bounce claim and they actually work!











Ghost tracks?A fascinating image. Wondered just how it happened since it starts and stops very quickly















And finally



Modge podge in action. This is a coating on top of magic boosters on a shoe box. Sounds simple but trust me getting a smooth coating takes practice. 1 side left to do and its done, ready for glow in the dark deck protection.














what ever will be next.... eldar mask maybe?

86: Friday 7th October 2011

Wow lots done today! 
  • Made a feedback box in club colours
  • Wrote awards for awesome members (If you're SBL remember to vote for member of the year)
  • Created home made cake decorations, now all I need is the cake
  • Successfully made soft oiled eggs for lunch :D only one decided to leak in the pan
    created an AGM plan

    Left to do before sleep:
    • Sort recycling into new bags so I can use the box for planting onions
    • Wash up and make the kitchen sparkle
    • Find a pattern for sewing baby hats or just wing it
    • Create a party play list
    • Eat

    and you know what's the most difficult thing of the day? The play list. My taste in music is so eclectic (thanks sister act for teaching me that word) I have no idea what to include for a party. Queen is a given. Or is it too cliché? Firefly theme tune? Busted? Celebration? I think I may be out dj'ed on the night.

    Oh and the draught excluder works a treat!!! You can tell because when you pick it up to get out it's freezing! 

    Score 8/10: Having a plan makes me feel so much better. Tidy schedule tidy mind.
