Today ev1ldonut and I helped out Cheltenham Archers on their 'have a go' pitch at Bredon School Fair. This was a day of life at a slower pace than I'm normally used to. It was quite a refreshing change. Although I did catch the sun a bit as I was caught unprepared, not expecting strong sunshine when the day started off grey, overcast and gently drizzling.

I did take some ( pictures of some of the various things at the fair )

Friday we had the BBQ which seemed to go down well. I now have lumpwood charcoal which lights a lot easier. Next time it won't take 2-3 hours to light, I promise!

( Pictures with no words )

Played a couple of brief games of the new Munchkin Cthulu, which seems quite good :)

It's been a long weekend. The rollercoaster continues, but I think overall it's good :)

Well I kind of just splurged the photos up there yesterday, due to exhaustion. I wanted to highlight some of the best pictures and tell the story behind some of them :)

( Warning; fairly graphically intense )

I have some shots that I ended up redoing on day 2 because the first two were not quite good enough; I'll put these up with the day 2 shots when I get round to it, hopefully this evening.

Thanks very much to dylan for free reign in his house and use of his photographic equipment (the studio light increased possibilities tremendously, and stupidly I'd forgotten to bring my tripod) :)

Hope you've enjoyed seeing these as much as we had fun making them :)

All the photos that I currently have posted are here. I didn't actually take many of the party itself for various reasons.

The party was good, very chilled at the start because people were still chilling out from the night before when we arrived. We got hot and dehydrated despite drinking (water) like fishes, and decided to leave at about 1am to head back to comfortable beds rather than try to crash somewhere while the party was still going on. The drive back was pretty horrendous, not for traffic reasons but simply feeling ill and exhausted. Thankfully it was temporary and kissycat1000 and I enjoyed a pleasent and relatively quiet Sunday while ev1ldonut took the kids to rikrose's birthday picnic.

Hi to all the people I met at the party - remind me who you are :)

(Oh, and I finally sorted out a few of my photos from the Tintagel camping trip the other weekend - ev1ldonut's are here)
