If wondering what cards, its Digimon Card Game. An obvious focus is getting all the volcano-themed Digimon.
Two cards on a white duvet. They have shiney red borders and backgrounds. The 'rock dragons' are designed to look like solidified lava that can breathe fire. One on the left callwd Lavogaritamon is a bigger version of the one on the right, called Lavorvomon. A card with a white border. In the image is a giant dragon literally made out of a volcano with several vents on its back with a head, tail and walking on 4 legs. Called Volcdramon. A white border card being held in my hand. The earth dragon is called Volcanicdramon, with massive wings and body made out of solidified lava and bones and claws like molten lava.

Got to see one of our drones in action, which is the one I requested to get aerial photos of the location of groundwater flooding. Certainly helped confirmed that the river isn't flooding at least 😅
Ground is boggy and partly mud in the foreground. In the background is a flooded disconnect river with submerged trees. In the middle of the photo is a small red and black helipad with a red "H" in the middle and in the middle, smol white drone. One orange cone is visible behind the helipad. Just off camera to the left is a man's arm wearing a high vis jacket with a controller and his leg wearing black waterproof trousers and wellies.

Did it, had fun! Nice to step the toes back into my two favs: volcanoes 🌋 and videogames 🎮...even if it was only for 12 minutes 😅 Maybe next one should be archery in videogames? 🤔🎮🏹
In a small theatre with a large white screen in the background with a powerpoint presentation on it. Powerpoint has three stills from shortclips. Top left from Sypro 2, top right a hiking boot about to step on lava (DON'T EVER DO IT!!!) and bottom centre a man in a pool of custard. It makes sense I promise. In front is me, a Black short woman with black afro hair wearing a Pokémon ghost-type shirt, olive green trousers and black and white trainers. Either side are a full audience.

Took a while, but I was determined. I love the rainbow border cards, the art is so lovely.
A digital card with a rainbow border. The Pokémon Aerodactyl is flying high above land. Under it are 2 shiny stars, which indicates its rarity. The Mythical Island booster pack in a gold and white border box with the words: "Congratulations! You've collected every card in this expansion!"

Site visits when it involves groundwater is just going "yep, the water is still there. Might be a bigger area now? Will have to compare to last week"
Damp green/brown grass in the foreground. In the middle of the image is the ponding of water up against some properties gardens. Their gardens are also submerged but not visible in this photo. In the background are trees, some broken fence and a white house peaking through.

I think me liking to complete collections is the autism in me. Or I don't know, me just being a nerd.
A screenshot of three digital booster packs, on the left a packet with a Charizard, the centre with a Mewtwo and the left with a Pikachu on the front. There is a diamond stamp next to the Pikachu. With purple text saying "Genetic Apex" underneath the Mewtwo pack. The words "Congratulations! You've collected every [diamond symbol] card in this expansion are displayed with a green 'Ok' button. A screenshot of a digital booster pack mainly green with a Mew on it. There is a diamond stamp next to it. The text "Congratulations! You've collected every [diamond symbol] card in this expansion!" With a blue "Ok" button

The absolute joy this game gives me when I get a shiny card.
A virtual Pokémon card with a shiny border. Background is blue for the water type Pokémon Lapras, which is based on a plesiosaur.

After rescheduling 3 times, finally visited the River Ash (Middlesex) (have to specify which one because there is also a River Ash in Hertfordshire) yesterday. Chilly day but all good.
Clear blue winter sky and a bridge in the background. Left hand bank has long grass and a tree that has almost shedded all its yellow leaves. On right hand bank is grass, a tree off centre and a small concrete structure covered in graffiti. Middle of the picture is a river with concrete banks. In front of the image is a gauge board wedged in a steel bracket partially submerged in the river. The water is up to 0.4 metres. In the background is the river bank lined with tall grass.

Sorry been busy with post-flood activities. Went to speak with people impacted directly last week to see how they're doing and how to assist. Archery going good, now a 1st Class Indoor Archer and on my way to becoming a 3rd Class Indoor Bowmen.
In a school gymanisum. Back of the picture 20 metres away has a line of straw bosses with 60cm targets on them. One on far left is a square foam boss with vertical 3 spot small targets. In foreground is me, a 5 foot Black woman with curly afro hair, wearing a black long sleeve top, a white and green chestguard, green and black quiver with lots of badges on it, olive green trousers and red and black Converse shoes. I am holding out a green and black bow with the left hand and pulling back on neon yellow string with a black arrow nocked, aiming at a target.

Continuing to do site visits to the rivers in London. Yesterday was the River Roding. Had to postpone visits to the Lower River Lee, so will be back! Heading to the River Ash (Middlesex), in a couple of weeks.
Heavily vegetated river bank with a partially covered 'danger' sign on a railing. The river channel is gently flowing. In the background are reeds, bushes and trees. To the right is a bridge with a white car crossing. More of an overhead view of the river looking down from a bridge. Most of the river is not viable is it is heavily covered in reeds. On eitjer bank is long grass, bushes and trees.

Worried for nothing, came 1st place in my category! 🏹🎯
Close up of my left hand holding up the back of a gold medal with a white sticker and black underlined text that says "52nd County Western 1st September 2024 Recurve Lady Archer 2nd Class 1st Place" Close up on my knee on a white jersey shirt of the front of the gold medal. The border is gold. The text on the bottom is gold that says "Hertfordshire Archery Association". The county emblem is a white stag on a wavy line with three arrows underneath in white and bordered in gold.

My day today versus yesterday haha
A desk with 19 rubber ducks on it. 10 larger ducks on the left are yellow. On the right, there are smaller ducks in different colours: two blue, two red, two orange, two yellow and one purple. A shallow gentle flowing river flanked by green trees, one on the right bank the branches are hanging over the river channel.

Forgot to share latest #volcanoesinvideogames find! This time Tales of Arise. Inside a volcano (naturally), with a video game's signature lava falls which are not as frequent in real life as they are made out to be.
Videogame screenshot. Camera looking down on a character with white hair in armour. Environment is rocky and in thr background is a small lava pool. Similar vibes as first photo but with a larger lava pool showing some cooling surfaces (patches of black on top), some fire and to the right large orange glowy crystals. In front of character bottom left is a large lava pool and in the distance is a small lava fall with 5 strands flanked with orange glow crystals. There is a 1 stream of lava falling to the right with a larger crystal in front. Top right is the bottom of the 5 strand lava fall. Middle left there is a pile of glowing rocks like a semi-cooled lava flow, background left are similar rocks but cascading down the wall.

Still trying to figure out my archery problem (and coach and I think we know the answer) but I still look pretty cool regardless.
Short Black woman with curly afro hair (me) in a faded yellow t-shirt in a school gymanisum. Left hand is pushing against a green bow and grip with black top and bottom limbs. Attached is a black with white markings stabliser long rod and a black sight. Right hand is pulling back a neon yellow string with a black arrow and a visible neon orange fletching. There are bows and a couple of people in the background to the left of me and in the background to the right are 3 straw blank targets.

My friend in the club who shoots sitting down because of his disability leant me a spare slightly flimsy but colourful stool and it went pretty well! Will practice with a further distance next weekend as busy this weekend! (My sibling turns 30!)
Left to right in the background is a row of 4 blank hay bosses and half in the image is a larger red, white and black foam blank boss. Behind that is a white net that catches any stray arrows. In the foreground is a blue string running from left to right and on top is a blue plastic foldable stool.

Turns out I really like collecting badges? Blue badge is scoring 252 (exactly!) at 40 yards and the Warwick red is scoring more than 335 points in a Warwick 40. A Warwick 40 is 2 dozen at 40 yards and 2 dozen at 30 yards (one turn at 30 yards shot today shown!) 😊🏹
Badges on a green ribbon. Top one visible is a black rectangle with a gold border and the word ‘Warwick’ in gold lettering. Underneath is similar but with the words ‘Third Class’ and a gold arrow in between the ‘third’ and ‘class’. One new badge underneath is a circle badge with a blue background, up top in white lettering is the initials of the archery club ‘GDB’, in the middle is a little green dragon with wings sticking out a red tongue, underneath is white lettering is ‘252’. Lastly underneath that is a similar rectangle but with a red background and the word ‘Warwick’. Close up of an archery target with two white outer rings, then two black, two blue, two red and then two gold at the centre. There are 5 black arrows with purple and orange fletchings and orange nocks in the gold, and one in the red, close to the gold.

Spend way too long on my day off doing an archery first for me: changing my white arrow nocks to orange ones! They’re so pretty 🤩
Close up of 9 black shaft arrows, 8 of them with orange and purple fletchings and some colourful vinyl wraps visible. The tip of the arrows shown have see through orange plastic nocks.

Practiced today with the my birthday gift! (The long rod attached to the bow!)
Picture of a green bow with neon yellow string, black limbs with a black sight and black long rod attached, resting on a black stand. The grass is green and in the background is another bow but black with an orange grip.

*General Grievous voice* These will make a fine addition to my collection.

Warwick black badge for scoring 297 or more in a single round (this one was for the Warwick 30: 24 arrows at 30 yards and 24 at 20 yards) and the (Outdoor) Third Class badge is scoring 332 or more 3 times for a Warwick 30!
Close up of some badges on a green ribbon with the background of the back of a green and black quiver on a bed with blue checkered sheets. The badge at the top just visible is a white round badge with a green dragon in the middle and the number 252 in black underneath. Next is a similar badge but in black. Underneath that is a green rectangle badge that says Archer 3rd with a little dragon in a house. Underneath is a thin rectangle white badge which says Portsmouth in gold lettering. Beneath that is an Archer 2nd rectangle badge in white. New additions underneath these is a black thin rectangle that says Warwick in gold lettering and lastly, a rectangle badge in black with third class with an arrow in between in gold lettering.

Volunteered at my archery club’s Windsor Tournament yesterday! Such great weather for it and seeing people from other clubs 😄🏹☀️
Blue skies with wispy white clouds, green grass and a line of green trees in the background. In the distance a long row of archery targets. An archery target in the foreground with the number above it just viable. On the target are a scatter of arrows. Next to it is a similar target with a number 7 above and a yellow flag, also with a collection of arrows.

Made sweet potato frittas for an archery tournament tomorrow but didn’t make enough, so it’s going to be first come first served I guess 😅
A small pile of fried sweet potato mash on a white kitchen paper towel which is on a large white plate.

Achievement unlocked: destroyed a nock (and 2 fletchings, one of the orange ones was peeling off on closer inspection!)
Close up of an arrow. Two orange fletchings with a purple fletching missing. The end where a white nock should be is missing, only a small bit of it is left within the shaft.

It’s fun saying it in the SEGA logo voice.
Camera centred on a sticker that says ‘ACAB’ in the Sega logo style.
