Today we went down to Sherwood Forest and wandered about under the trees that the legendary outlaws called home. Its a fair set of trails to wander on left to your own devices and a set of shops near the entrance to try to get more of your money. Three pounds for parking to start with. Ice cream stand out by the Major Oak which is supposed to have been a frequent meeting spot for Robin’s band. We found a fairly quiet patch of grass near there to eat a picnic lunch while dodging errant soccer balls from the youngsters wandering about with more enthusiasm than control. Walked the longest of the trails I think, it was a little hard to track as horse paths crossed it at angles and markers weren’t always present. Still a good day all around. Returned on a scenic route and watched Return of the King while I was uploading photos. I am looking at online job stuff a bit now thinking about what I’ll be doing soon. I think I’ll be figuring more into that tomorrow, now its nearly bed time I think.

Today went pretty well. Slept in a bit then started fiddling with this webpage stuff. Facebook I’m finding is a potent distractor though being 6 hours different from most of the people in my list means I tend to be going to bed when most of them are checking theirs. So I don’t get completely distracted by real time chatter. Uploaded a big chunk of photos to the gallery and then finally wrote up the adventures with starting this trip. Before that went out and mowed the lawn. Also finally went and mailed a postcard that I was meaning to send for a while now. I think this page is about well enough set up to release the link for but now I think its about time for bed.
