Nice late afternoon day out, did a 40 odd mile roundtrip to Salisbury to help the local museum empty some of galleries. 

Everything is now growing, lovely spring sunshine in amongst dodging the showers.   :bowler:

I played that.  Then Melody said she was going to call the police. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yep deer all over the place, and in a lot of the nearby agricultural land, has become a bit of a problem; needs someone like you to shoot a few.

They can be a little destructive. I have six blacktails that I battle every spring and summer. Fuckers munch on the plants.  :mad:

I carry a big caliber rifle for elk.  :blurgh: plus two pistols for SD.

Quick rural raid this evening to one of my favourite hill forts in Dorset, Badbury Rings *.
First time I've been there in months, spring hasn't arrived there yet, trees not awoken, but a nice little 33 mile jaunt.

Bit of a rest day/evening, did go out on the bike, but more effort was expended in my first efforts to get the garden sorted out.   <_<

Now that the 'good weather', light still gone 8.30 pm and I've now stretched myself and my horizons a bit on the bike, now is the time to start going further a field of an evening.

I went to a facualty dinner at the 108 Samgyupsal restaurant. Sam Gyup Sal is Three layer pork cooked on a grill and it is delicious. 108 is a Buddhist religous reference. :)
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Went to Salisbury this afternoon to help out at the museum, dismantled a 12 century chimney top, not exactly the most interesting piece of archaeology I've encountered. 

You wont believe this, but it was so sunny in the cathedral close, my camera phone couldn't cope with all the light:



:)

Ended up exploring a new route to another iron age hill fort, Old Sarum, original site of the city. Pretty hot for an English spring day.  Ive decided you can't take a good picture of a hill fort:

Ended up cycling about 75 kilometres.
Dallied a lot along the river at various places on the way home. Man I'm loving these light evenings.   :cool:
