Today Momma Darlo and I went for a hot air balloon ride at the Telford Balloon Fiesta. It was a lot of fun, and I was surprised how quiet it was (except when the flame was on). Flying over Telford was interesting since I got to see a lot new views of familiar areas.

The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month.
- Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress
- Also use the hashtag to cheer on others.

That’s about it!

Have fun with your activities, whatever they may be!

Drawing, programming, dancing, cooking, make up, reading, languages, gardening, mastering high fives, sewing, astrophysics, vcr clock setting ...

Had dinner in a pub called the Wrekin Giant, so thought I'd draw that local legend. A Welsh giant called Gwendol went to destroy Shrewsbury with a giant spadeful of earth. In Wellington he asked a cobbler directions, but the cobbler showed him all of his damaged shoes saying that Shrewsbury was so far away he broke all the shoes coming from there. The giant then just dumped the earth where it was, giving up, and that earth became The Wrekin hill.
Or something like that.
