WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[ARNC]

The start of a few days away staying in what was the stokers cottage attached to a steam drainage engine (you might get some outside shots in the coming days). For now appreciating some of the cool details inside.

Leather draught proofing strips. Never seen this before but looks so much better than rubber.

Little trap door for power points.

And relax!

I promised/threatened some outside pics of where I’m staying this week.

I’m in the near section.

Passageway between where I am staying and the old diesel engine house.

Diesel and steam engine houses. If you look closely at the right gable end above the alarm box you will see the remains of a pocket watch. Apparently two farmhands were watching the builders at work. One said to the other it only needed a clock to look like a church. The bricklayer asked if he had a watch and took it away. The watch was never returned

We visited an ancient alien cathedral and paid our respects to Xenu

Then Hattie stole a hovercar in a dystopian future cityscape

Hattie couldn’t leave without taking home a new friend. A catwolf that meowhowls

Eyes are absolutely stunning and may just break a few hearts in the very distant future.

[Jett129]

Definitely the Eyes have it. Don’t think she could possibly be any cuter.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks folks, I am completely smitten. Her eyes are like her mama's, except her mom's have some gold overlaying the blue.

I can barely remember not being a dad and she's not even 2 yet.

Popping down to Looe in Cornwall for a days fishing with mates.  300 mile round trip, 2 nights away.

Accommodation sorted

@Madame Buttonfly couldn't bear it, so she has added a woman's touch.  Towel (as if I'm going to bother washing) and pillowcase.  She's a lot happier now…

Didn't have any chocolates handy, or I would have put one on the pillow

[vaquero357]

[neph93]

Up the cabin today… found this fucker by the lake. I wasn’t touching it, but my youngest had now problem. He wanted to take it home as a pet.

Turns out it is the caterpillar of the Goat Moth. Fairly rare this far north. The English translation of its Norwegian name is “killer of trees”.

edible …? 

[neph93]

@endo:

edible …? 

No idea. There was a dramatic, tearful parting when I explained that the monster would die if we took him home. Eating it was never on the cards.
