Autumn sun light

Frost on some roofs!

It's fascinating - the second roof from the front looks reddish brown here. In the previous one it looks bluish grey.

I hope our neighbour never decides to replace his garage roof (front roof) This one has lots of character!

Dreich autumn light

Decided to do another of these (as always, this is just meant to be a light study, not a good picture).
I've got another photo with beautiful autumn sunshine, but this one was quicker!

 I do like autumn colours.

In memory of 'Uncle' Tom

You need four strips of card and three brass paper fasteners:

I was planning on doing this on Sunday anyway, but it seemed particularly appropriate since today was Tom's funeral, who told it (more or less) this way at a holiday club when I was a wee girl.

Noah's Ark jelly

The KitKat finger is - believe it or not - almost the same proportions as the ark. And, as an added bonus, when you bite into it, it has three floors!!! 

The ark on calm water

You will need (per person):

• About 150-200ml of blue - or clear - soft drink. (I used berry & tropical flavour Powerade - a 500ml bottle between 3 people)
• Gelatine. About 1 leaf per 100ml of juice.
• 1 finger of KitKat.
• A small bowl wide enough to fit the KitKat.

What to do:

1. Soak gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, put some of the juice in a pan, and heat.
3. Take off the heat, and add the gelatine. Stir to dissolve (it was pretty much instantaneous when I did it).
4. Add the rest of the juice and pour into bowls.
5. Put in fridge to set.
6. (Optional, if you want stormy water). Chop up the jelly small and stir around a bit.
7. Place KitKat finger upside down on top of 'water', to make an 'ark'.
8. Eat. 

P.S. Don't be put off by using gelatine - it's actually even easier than using jelly cubes.
