I walked by several Christmas markets today. One had one of those photo ops where you stick your face in a cut out. This one looked like a nice Victorian family until I noticed the woman was sticking her finger in the dog's eye.

I did see this Egyptian goose. Apparently, it's an invasive species.

Walked around London today. Visited Trafalgar Square, Westminster, and the Tower Bridge/Tower of London area. I toured Westminster Abbey, but made it to the Tower too late.

My collection of achievement badges. I missed out on Bankrupt, Bankrupt Round 1, and No Deliveries This Round. I'm a little sad I didn't collect them all, but also happy I didn't go bankrupt.

Age of Steam is now a dexterity game. House rule: -1 income for knocking over a stack of cubes. 😄
An Age of Steam map covered with track tiles and discs. The cities have red or green Powerhouses, vubes to be delivered, and stacks of cubes that have been delivered to that city. One stack of yellow cubes towards the back right is close to falling over.

I barely made my flight no thanks to Real World star Sean Duffy. At least I get to finally get to watch The Hobby.

*asshole not ashore. I finished the body. It's a little lopsided, but not too bad. I'll have to finish this next week when I get home from the UK.

Finally working on this wooble I got for Christmas last year. Anyone that doesn't appreciate a knitted or crocheted item as a gift is a huge ashore because this is hard and takes forever.

I didn't realize this disc was wonky until after I placed the sticker and now the Colorado & Southern can never be used when I play 18RoyalGorge.

A wild game of Hot Streak tonight. Mum won on the starting line because everyone else turned around and went out of bounds. 😄

We took a spooky hike through a sequoia grove yesterday.
A trail covered in brown leaves and pine needles winds through a grove a giant sequoia trees while a dense fog settles into the area obscuring the view of the tree tops.

I watched this squirrel eat a pine cone like an ear of corn for about 5 minutes today and it was fantastic.

General Sherman is the largest tree by volume in the world. It's pretty wild how big and old Sequoias are.
