Gwenno, thank you! And when I was an unregenerate girl I used to make my own fireworks (yes, my brother and I managed to blow the roof off our grandmother's wash-house making gunpowder).

This sounds like Alfred Nobel brother's story, hopefully with a better outcome.

Job, I'd never heard of those, they look fascinating!

Basse, My brother and I were two scientifically-minded children on an isolated farm. We got up to all sorts of stuff, from chemical experiments to raising birds of prey. Oh, and climbing everything - that was where I first developed a taste for free-climbing. My other sibs are all nearly a generation younger, and not so like-minded.

Fortunately for us, the farm was old enough that the laundry was in a free-standing building separate from the house, otherwise our grandmother would have been even more annoyed! I still haven't forgotten what she said when I, as a small girl, got up in the middle of the night and dismantled the grandfather clock.

What happened to Nobel's brother?

I'm suddenly reminded of the time my cousins and I made a 55 gallon Molotov cocktail which we then threw her off the roof of their garage with all of us on the roof to watch. it did not explode mind you it fizzled and started rolling towards the highway where a highway patrolman had happened to stop to do reports. So he looks up and sees a 55 gallon barrel of flaming stuff rolling at him and about 10 kids falling off a garage to go and try and stop it.... he just shook his head and drove off.

Eventually our grandpa drove up and asked why the hell the driveway had been on fire. to say the least we all got a belting.

Róisín, Well he too had an accident while mixing explosive substance in a shed. Unfortunately for him, nitroglycerine makes quite a large explosion.

Noticed a couple days ago that I had reached the rank of Scout! Not sure when I reached it though, but that's less important.

I made a teeny comic with my SSSSona to celebrate the occasion!




Time to work towards a new promotion so she don't have to scout anymore :P

Take Sturup! Also known as Malmö Airport! I'm pretty sure no one has claimed it!

(I will however fight you for it once it is my turn to claim an airport (ง •̀_•́)ง But it should be a while until that happens...)


So yes, congratulations! \o/ *confetti*
