A walk in the park....with more pics

The Terror running free towards the fountain

This is the fountain he was running to, I think it needs a bit of work, with a few more nice plants putting in.

Exploring the spring plants

Just in the park with The Terror while Mrs Stu and Little G are doing their karate gradings for the first time, so while they are doing that I have taken The Terror out as he was getting louder than the forty people doing their gradings! Now we are exploring the fresh air and having father and son being daft time. Mrs Stu almost never went to her grading as she fell over my boots and twisted her knee a couple of days ago......oh dear!

*UPDATE* They have both passed their belts and are now on the long slope towards a black belt, with lots of time and injuries it will take to get there. I should know I've walked the path a few years ago now and when I was there again there was that itching again to get back into it and start again. The reason I stopped was time there was never enough in a day for me to go and do it. I use to love beating people up....joking, but it was fun as well as physically exhausting at times, maybe it's time to look into it once more.

  1. Looking at the photo, I think you might give The Terror a new name. 'Anti-Gravity Boy,' perhaps?

    He definitely needs to work off some of that stress if he's hanging off walls with no visible means of support!

  4. This is Shotokan as well and they did well as they both passed it and got their yellow belt!

  5. Some of us make the mistake of judging a book by its cover. Big mistake!

  11. j.t. All to often, without turning the first page!

    doanli - she went through the pain barrier with lots of deep heat on it, the house smelt awful.

    LERM - Is this what all Aussie wives are like or do i have a bad one...lol

    BGS - Thanks for the comments

    LERm - The park was actually donated by a mill owner a couple of centuries ago for his workers I think. I will find out next time I visit with The Terror. Cute is not what you would call him at times, but he has charm and that's how he gets away with things.
