So… this blogging thing. Let’s do some!<\/p>\n

I’ve decided that, if I can’t make or find time to blog every day, I can at least make an effort to do one a month. I may just do something like this – which is a round up of things I’ve done in January – or might try to do something different each time. I have no idea yet!<\/p>\n

All of these photos<\/a> have been placed on Facebook<\/a> already, but I wanted to go into a little more detail about them here. I could have used higher quality photos too, but just grabbed the Facebook ones for now.<\/p>\n

The month began with blasts of cold air and our only geocache<\/a> of the month. It was a good one though, one of the largest we’ve ever seen. I can’t go too much into it though as I’m sure the owners of\u00a0GC5H63J: Silverside would like to keep things a surprise for future finders. The photo below was taken on a crisp Sunday morning and demonstrates just how cold early January was.<\/p>\n

The next set of photos comes from an unusual staff meeting about willow weaving. My creations weren’t exactly the neatest or the best, but I am quite proud of them. The pentagonal pyramid<\/a> serves no purpose whatsoever, but I enjoyed making something a little different and more mathematical than other people!<\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of January has been spent playing around with my new camera lens<\/a> the lovely Mrs Pitts bought me for Christmas<\/a>. It is a much longer lens allowing me to take photos for a greater distance. Captain Satsuma and Kit have been perfect subjects, but I have yet to take it out into the wilds.<\/p>\n\n

January provided me with my 32nd birthday too. Mrs Pitts continued her tradition of fabulous cakes with one modelled on Captain Satsuma. It was delicious…<\/p>\n\n

There were cupcakes for Grange Moor band and work colleagues as well.<\/p>\n\n

Let’s see if February is just as interesting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
