Making spaceships with Finn
I have been putting aside as many cardboard boxes as I could for the last few weeks for Finn. We had a few options the other day, a train, a castle, a robot suit, but Finn finally decided on a super fast spaceship complete with wings an everything. Today im going to try to mount it on/around his bike so he can cycle it around the place.

Barrel conversion
I had an idea a few months to convert a wine barrel for home theatre and hombrew purposes. Its on three castors and is ideal for outdoor cinema activities. We watched the snapper on it the other night, what a blast from the past. If you fancy doing this a few obstacles are the fact that there is not a single adhesive element in cooperage so be sure to reinforce the entire thing from the inside before cutting. There can be up to 5 litres of wine soaked into the wood so either sand it back (loose structural support) or just seal it with varnish or a paint like I did. Also, make sure your projector is well ventitd as the hot air can split the wood and in extreme circumstances cause the whole thint go up in flames.

Royal Show with the kids
We took the lads to teh royal show (big agricultural and fun-fair annual activity here in Perth) last week. It was good fun but Atticus was a bit too young to really get what was going on, except for the sheep, he loves sheep.
