My original idea was to use tooth paste on a tooth...I tried using a tooth pick to put the tooth paste onto my tooth but it didn't work and wasn't clear. Because toothpaste had dripped all over my sink I decided to use this instead...I made the hair using a tooth brush and the face detail was made with the tooth pick...
Hi All,
Thanks to those who came down to the task at Sandy Smith yesterday; fortunately the weather was better than I had seen forecast!
It was a good task; it was nice to see so many of the tree we planted last year surviving and also to see more trees planted to reinforce them. The ditching crew also did a good job and Malcolm demonstrated that a little mud and water can go a long way!
There will be NO TASK next week because of Easter. After that normal service will be resumed with the ‘tartan mowing’ task at Maulden Heath on Tuesday 10th April; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Have a nice Easter!
Tim

So as we gathered together for morning prayers little did we expect the bombshell that was about to shatter our dreams and aspirations. Mr. T. spared nothing in blatantly announcing that we were only to work until lunchtime! This was to get us acclimatised to not working at all next week. Well, the little group of Dave’s cuddled together whimpering, holding hands, their little knees and chins quivering in the wind. Couldn’t we stay just a bit after lunch if we promised to be good and do what we were told. ‘No’ came the stern reply in Mr. T’s eyes. We could tidy up the two tree enclosures, plant another 20 trees, a few of us could play in the mud but then we would have to leave.
So we trudged off to woods. Mr. T’s heart softened a little and he let us form a ‘bucket line’ to take water from the ditch and fill a couple of large plastic Trugs so we could water in the 25 trees we were to plant. So we all got a chance to play in the water.
Three of us went off to clear another ditch of obstructions and see who could get the muddiest while the remainder cleared away the undergrowth that was overgrowing the fences and plant 15 trees in one and the remaining 15 in the other.
And so by lunchtime all 40 trees were planted and it was time to leave. The Moffatt tried to do a runner, taking a hand saw and disappearing along the bank in search of offending tree roots to remove but eventually he was called to heel. Mr. T. finally took pity on us and allowed us to take home a few logs to play with over the Easter break.
Many thanks to all who came, hope you get over the withdrawal symptoms and see you in two weeks time for some tartan mowing - och aye the g’nu.
And yes, Jackie did make me strip off on the patio before putting my clothes in the washing machine and hosing me down!

Admirable summary Mr W and cakes too were more than admirable even though I restrained myself from partaking in the fruit cake. (Mr T's donuts were also highly desirable) Hope you are feeling better and will soon regain your country seat.
It was good to have the great WC back with us again and Dave of the Arctic Lowe back from his Norwegian Saga.

This image was all fun. While taking this photo of my sisters dog I was not thinking of anything other than how cute his paws are. I wanted to get a closer look and somehow managed to get him to stay still for 2 seconds. Overall I had fun with this photo.

Here I was on the pavement, camera mounted onto the tripod, looking up to ignore the few people around me wondering what I was up to. I took a few shots but could not really capture what I had in mind from where I was standing and with the lense I had. Moving to the middle of Navigation Street was not an option so I took a 6 shots starting from the top and moving slowly downwards to the base of the building with a photomerge in Ps in mind. The trick worked although the merged file looked a bit like an egg timer (wide at the top and bottom and narrow in the middle so I had to apply some severe crop to it. Once again I processed the B&W conversion in Silver Efex Pro 2 and gave it a bit of a grunge/HDR look.

In this task, the participants had to drive over various terrains under instruction in a Land Rover Defender. The terrain simulated river crossings, steep inclines and declines and rough terrain.
Driving a short course that required finesse and accuracy, the participants attempted to manoeuvre the car through a sequence of gates.
