Merry Christmas!

Portsmouth again

A few pictures from Portsmouth before and after the Bilbao trip.

The view from the ferry as we left port.

Sunset and the Spinnaker Tower the day we returned.

An extremely odd statue on the hard by Portsmouth Harbour.

I ran into Butterscotch in Southampton yesterday

Poor child in the picture. She has no idea whats about to happen to her...

Cactus Baby

It looks like my cactus is growing another baby.

Well, I know its just a division of the main plant but I'm excited anyway. Yays.

Aliens have landed in my garden!!!!

Or something like that. I have absolutely no idea why there is this almost perfectly circular patch of taller grass in the garden.

Perhaps the invasion is imminent.

First Post!

So I finally got round to making my first post. I am making this blog mainly to share and record the experiences, I have in Japan next year. Until then I guess it will function as a kind of personal blog for anything I find interesting. I intend to create another blog parallel to this one for my more geeky interests (anime, manga, video games J pop etc) so that my more normal friends don't have to endure my ramblings on those subjects.

For now I leave you with the glory that is Shortsman
