Les ponders what to do next with the latest and greatest in self assembly furniture instructions. At least he now knows why we were sooo keen for him to come and visit :-)
My suggestion was to frame the lot and hang it on the wall in Tate Modern .
We like this park

If you're thinking that we've been here before, you might be right .
SeaTac waste
flickr
This reminded me of a piece from some late night documentary on BBC2 about
Glastonbury
where somebody had studied the amount of time people spent deciding which bin to put what rubbish (trash) into. Apparently at the start of the day people could decide very quickly, but as the day wore on it took longer and longer until some
tipping point
was reached where the time taken rapidly dropped down to effectively zero…
Bye bye "Fredie-the-Froggy"

0.666666666666667 of our visitors flew back to the UK this afternoon (or at least we hope they did, last we saw they were waving from the other side of the security section). Thanks to J, P, S & H for sharing them.
Piccy's for family are up on flickr .
Definition of a proper walk

Sorry, but it hasn't been a proper walk until you've snapped a piccy of your feet in situ.
Anyone that say's otherwise perhaps isn't confident in their shoe selection.

More Rivers Wallace

We did a walk along the River Wallace at
Wallace Falls State Park
this afternoon.

flickr We took the woody trial - which was great fun - but we'd probably have got further on the railroad grade 'cause then we could have taken the buggy (stroller) for Fred.
Zoo Days
flickr
Granddad took the train to Vancouver this morning, so the rest of the boys went to The Zoo while the girls (and baby) went shopping in Fremont .

Visitors
Grandad, Hazel & Fred are visiting! Grandad insists he had "a great flight" - despite photographic evidence (such as this) to the contrary.
There and back
flickr
Saturday was too foggy, so instead of taking the float plane , we took the...
flickr
... ferry (from Anacortes to San Juan )
flickr
where it was beautiful, if a little damp.

But the weather cleared just in time for a great flight back down to
flickr
Kenmore via Lake Union and the Space Needle .
Where Tigers Lurk

When F plays with the animals you'd better watch out, Tigers and bears lurk at every chair leg and corner.
Foggy Campus

Looking across the sports fields to the building where I work on a foggy [Autumn | Fall] morning.
60 miles
So far so good - I've managed 2 bike and 2 bus commute's this week. That brings the bike total up to 60miles, and yes, I am feeling it :-)
Best bit is knowing that every car that passes you at the top of Avondale will be stuck in the traffic that you wizz through at the bottom. Worst bit is the way that the real pro's cycle past you as if you where standing still on the 520 trial.
Illegal to pass...

...when red lights are flashing.
Here's hoping H doesn't apply the same rules to playing soccer in the garden. He's already better than his Dad.
One for Emma

No arty farty stuff here, just a straight up piccy of F and H yesterday afternoon somewhere North of Paradise with a volcano in the background.
Obviously this picture was sponsored, hence the caps.

A little hill
flickr
Us on a bench at Kautz Creek trail head 1.
The little hill peaking up in the background is Mount Rainier , all 14,411 feet of it.
flickr As well as taking in the viewpoint, we took a little walk up the trail…

Eagle Watching

While on route to Mount Rainier we stopped for a break - and spotted an Eagle!
