Anna had a good time at the holiday programmes in August. Elements is one she currently enjoys. I’m dead jealous of all the exciting sports and skills kids can be exposed to during the term breaks. When she’s a bit older I hope she’ll enjoy sailing and climbing and, well, anything else she cares to try. Pretty cool.
I went for some walks in the hills. I love it once I’m out, mustering the oomph to just get out there is sometimes lacking. Give me a break, I just started a new job ;)
We went out to try and see the Panstarrs comet. This is not my pic:
I took out the tripod, pointed in roughly the right direction, but, couldn’t find it. I think I waited a little bit too long and it was far enough away. Or maybe too much light from the city. Or maybe I need a better lens ;). It was quite fun though getting out stellarium and working out how to get the data for tracking the comet into it so I at least knew which part of the sky to look at.
I bought a mortar and pestle and made chimichurri (don’t think I actually used that recipe, but something like it). Was yum, and we were out of the cheapy red wine so opened a very nice bottle which I’d been given by an old colleague from California. Was an absolutely excellent dinner.
And the fall colours are just lovely this time of year :)
