Just me and a castle.....


Considering the warmth we are having I was surprised to be the only one passing through the castle grounds this morning,  usually Id pass 3 or 4 people here.   Im guessing the wind has put them off today.



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

Cheers Mr B.    That was the extend of the colour this morning.    Perhaps Kathleen blew not he colour away.

I'm sitting looking out the window, watching the treetops tossing in the wind, dull clouds overhead. The ever-present threat of rain. And then, from nowhere, a sunbeam bursts through and lights up the room. Lifts the mood. Maybe I will venture out after all.

Go for it,  you might find theres more sun out there than you think.

It's what it may be hiding behind that worries me

Great shot, nicely moody.

Great shot DA.    So much less moody than the previous mornings views.  

Got my tanks filled and gear loaded to head out for a 2nd dive on that World War II plane I found yesterday.  It's sitting very close to 40 meters down so that is about the max depth I can dive safely.  Unfortunately my fiend with the underwater drone got called by local law enforcement to dive on a lake where a murder weapon was possibly disposed of.  He asked me to join him but I'd much rather dive on the vintage plane.  

Great shot, like those clouds and even got some blue sky. Wish we could see some blue sky.

It was lovely here out of the wind yesterday,   in the wind not so much.

Hope the dive went well,   at least under water you'll miss the wind.

I did venture out. A couple of shots with the pocket 2 - but no host of bluebells. Too early yet, here.

Let's not discuss the Pocket cameras,   SWMBOd decided to"help" by loading up the car and she left mine behind.

Yes,   my next DIY project will be a dog house.

I think you can guess.

Dive went really well.  I took an extra tank just in case.  I'm amazed at how well preserved the plane is, especially since it has been submerged for around 80 years.

thanks 2sticks.

You’re welcome

Also nice

The daily catch up while the middle one is doing math and I have to help her...

For when they have math tests yes.

Montfrooij Posted at 4-10 10:54
For when they have math tests yes.

So you are there to help or to make sure they are working.

And explaining stuff.

I hope you're qualified for that. . They teach maths here very differently to how Iearnt,   weird things like the multiplication matrix.

She did well on the test, so I guess it worked

Brilliant.  thats the main thing,    do you offer bribes?

Absolutely. For me the effort counts. So I'm happy.
Bribing who?

Very Nice landscape.  The clouds look great.

Here it's common to bribe the kids with something they want to encourage them to work for good exam results.   IE get an A and you can have a new bike.

Ah yes, my parents did that too. Worked great with me.

thanks Charles.   There were two lads up there this morning asleep on the grass,  couldnt help but nab a shot.

And do you follow the same,   you could bribe her by teaching her to fly the Mini 3P.

She is not interested in flying.
And we are not bribing (yet), although she will be open for that.
Especially when money is involved.
