Loch Skerrow and my dam

Yesterday we went for a walk to Loch Skerrow!It was really good . It took us one and a half hours to get there and when we got there we saw an old boathouse and a half sunk boat.We had a look inside and apparently some guy had gone in and he had left stuff like biscuits,cat food and even a sofa!On the way back we stopped off at the otter pool.

At The Otter Pool



Also over the last week in a nearby field with a stream in it i have been dambuilding. My dam has grown to roughly three metres long and has had a crayfish behind it! Here are some pictures of Loch Skerrow, The Otter Pool and my dam.

My new tin

Remember the post i made when i began my collection of cards saying that my collection would grow? It certainly has. From just 15 to over 400 in about one month is pretty good going. And one of the things that really boosted it was my Volcanic Doomfire tin which arrived on Friday. Below is a picture.



I am keeping unused cards in it (cards that aren't in decks) and hopefully i will get new tins soon
I also got lots of rare cards in it's array of five booster packs and the secret rare Volcanic Doomfire.

Spore

Yesterday Spore arrived!It is a really good game and we have got to tribal stage,(the third stage for you folks who haven't heard about Spore), apart from me because my civilization hasn't been going as long my mums and my dads. My mums spieces are evil and blood thirsty dragons , mine are really friendly vegetarian tigers and dads is half-way in between and it is a flying monkey that is patterned like a bee . And can you imagine a friendly vegetarian tiger? There is a picture below

Now let me explain a bit about Spore

The five stages:


CELL is where you start
CREATURE is where you evolve your creature to perfection
TRIBE is where you evolve your basic society and use early technology
CIVILIZATION is where you start using technology's like vehicles
SPACE is where you get to conquer the universe!

Changing your creature:

To change your creature call a mate (wife to all you non scientific folks.)
After meeting they will lay an egg . You automatically go inside the egg.
There you can add on and take off bits.
