      enjoying the beautiful weather while having a short break from work…

      construction site always in sight:

      started with tearing down one of the 4 buildings that we're going to refurbish during the next 3 years.

      guys are building the scaffolding:

      ground-floor:

      1st floor: walls need to go

      2nd floor: walls gone, now it's time to tear the roof down

      the view from 2nd floor:

        P and I hit the beach again today.  For those who know Gosport, it is a military town and just about everything has a military connection.  We went to Browndown beach site of much defence debris, mysterious stuff and a couple of forts.

        No one I know has any idea what this is, best guess is that it is a ventilation shaft.  This I stole from the web - "Nobody knows what it is or why it's there. Its 'gills' are an iron grill. There's no door, hatch or window. The Mushroom is a romantic, beguiling, intriguing and obtrusive relic of the cold-war. Will it ever reveal its secrets?"

        Inside here is a 19th century fort…..

        Then I did a "snowy".  I found a hole in the fence and went trespassing…

        "Mushroom" can be seen outside the fence

        Paula looking on disapprovingly (I can assure you)…

          And then Alex called me up and told me that a Nuclear sub was coming into the harbour, so I popped down to take a look…

            That looks American. Hard to say for sure, but possibly Virginia class.

              Being in Minnesota and just received 10 inches of snow last night everything today was snow related. We have had a real winter this year. Today was exceptional. Usually snow comes down and we are business as usual but today the roads were really bad. Lots of accidents and stuck motorists. Schools were called off so I watched the 7 year old and the neighbors kid most of the day. Snowblowed and shoveled. Helped get neighbors car unstuck. All in all was a fun but busy day in the North. A couple pics of the snow that overall is beautiful.

              He's not fucking kidding, a catastrophe back home. A shame I'm missing it.

              Think it, be it.

                When I looked online to see what the tugs were bringing in, it just said "Foreign Vessel".  It was not flying a flag, so I am none the wiser yet…

                      Yeah, tell Paula that I totally take responsibility for you going in there. It was worth it tho, huh? 😉

                          Yes, I missed what would have been an interesting image of shit loads of empty ammo cases piled up and also I need to go back with a torch to go into the (underground) fort and check out if I can work out if there is any underground access to the mushroom…

                                        yesterday, after 3-4months, i finally went to vmc again:

                                        train was crowded as fuck so i had to sit on the floor (1h). wearing:

                                        IHSH-20, IHSH-66, IHSI-02, UES-400T, AnonymousIsm Socks, Viberg

                                        arrived in zürich. this is the place where i've met Giles, Paula, Haraki, Ayumi, Beatle and Ruedi (swissjeansfreak) for the first time, back in 2011 🙂

                                        the shop windows:

                                        tried on some goods:
                                        Iron Heart: IHSH-95, L

                                        Iron Heart: IHSH-23, XXL (too big unfortunately -.-)

                                        The Flat Head: Paisely Shirt, 44

                                        was after these Lone Wolf Carpenter boots, but out of luck since my size was out of stock:

                                        done for the day:

                                        in march and april they'll get hold of more new stuff straight from japan, so def. going to hit up the store again pretty soon! 🙂
