Yaaaaaaaaay! The floor is finished!! We still have to clean the skirting boards and reaffix them to the wall and then move all the furniture back in, but the floor is DONE!!

However, the photo of me loving the new floor looks like a coroner's photo. I don't think I'll post that one in case people think I died. I'll have to get Richard to pose on the floor after all :D

Finally, all of our holiday photos are online, and I'm exhausted:
dino trip 5a: Brussels (again)
dino trip 5b: Antwerp (you've already seen these
dino trip 5c: Ghent (briefly)

There are also photos of Football Stopping Traffic and Finnish Heavy Metal, as posted earlier.

Being vegan in Belgium.

Why are we going to Paris on Saturday when France are playing Italy in the World Cup Final? Whose stupid idea was that? (warning, features half-naked wuzzie). ARGH!

/me fall over go zonk now.

...why do you ask?



More silliness here, and also a hairy ewok.

Some more photos for you to enjoy:
Another plushtrip: Dino Trip 3: Dino goes to Brighton

And live mammals: Photos from the New Forest Otter & Owl Park. Features badgers, foxy, deer, polecat, ferrets, pine marten, a harvest mouse, wallaby, lynx, and boars - plus Asian Short-clawed, Canadian and European otters. rowan_leigh likes the boars :)

Otter going in the water.

I remain less good at photographing live animals because they have a tendency to move, but I took 200 photos & just posted the best ones :) You can click on the pictures in the gallery to get 1024 x 768 versions - if you want higher resolution copies of any of them, comment here & I'll email the 2272 x 1704 version to you. I also have more pictures of some of the animals if you can cope with motion blur and underexposure.
