pirates and ninjas…

Gingerbread pirates and ninjas!

None of the icing bags I had were very good for detailed work, but you get the idea. Note particularly the multitude of missing limbs, the man with a cannonball hole blasted through his stomach, and another with a chocolate monster bursting out from their stomach.

pirates and phd

hoorah! i’m to go to a piratical house-warming. it’s been far too long since i’ve indulged in pirate-type behaviour, and longer still since i’ve dressed as one. although the last international talk like a pirate day (which is september 19th by the way) was fun. meanwhile, not of particular interest to anyone else, but the ‘o’ key on my keyboard has decided to misbehave. i tried to fix it, now it’s worse. essentially every ‘o’ in this has either not come out the first time, or come out as a double. much use of the backspace key, it’s driving me insane. especially as i’m supposed to be writing up at the moment (satellites and sounding systems chapter of thesis – trying to work on terra and aqua satellites). grrr. much grrrr.
