It’s Tuesday and time for a casual stroll in the woods, post-breakfast today.
The glades in the woods are absolutely buzzing with bees, fake-bees, butterflies and of course, mosquitos.
Those two we recognise. Feels just like home…
And look at that, wild strawberries! (Smultron) Wild apples perhaps? Maybe we’ll plant one at home for fun.Ok, it’s getting denser… “Hey, isn’t this kind of vegetation the favorite kind for leopards?” – Yeah, time to backtrack!Looks about the same in all directions…
At that moment, it sounded like something big approached, but it was our old friend, the neighbours’ dog, Benji.
– Time to go home, I’ll show you!And then he led the way (press play).Those huge carvings in the pine trees are quite common, our theory is that the locals harvest resin.Didn’t someone mention the other day that a Braai could be on the table…Before her second breakfast that usually happens at noon, Joanna was kept company by Benji while making her egg of crocheted fishing line.
Tony is quite satisfied with the completion of these! Winding sticks, square, 45deg shooting board, 90deg shooting board. More scrap teak, wonderful wood to work with!
Simple jig for making tetragonal (4) –> octagonal (8) –> hexadekagonal (16). From there, some quick sanding or scraping and the dowel/stick is round!
A new dog from the same neighbour kept us company a bit later – Bella. Apparently, Benji told them all to keep an eye on those Scandinavians as they seem helpless outside the fence.Here Bella is making sure the very small cat is not posing a threat to the Scandis, while the cat is watching her back. Can you see it in the grass?Ghanshyam – the main project leader for everything happening at Spacehouse – is always there to assist us and is here heading home for the day. Thank you, Ghanshyam, we are very grateful!It’s good to have varying views when making the egg. In between, there were also some trash braids being made.
