Had a really fun day today :^) met up with one of my siblings and hung out in town for a few hours and had a great chat. Got a book as a birthday present (didn't see them on the day so they gave it to me today) and a tin of cadburys roses. We went into a local bookshop and I bought a really nice notebook - the art on it is of Japanese lacquer from the 17th/18th century. Got a steampunk book to try out since I've never read the genre from a charity shop for €1. While out in town, I bumped into a few friends from school and we spoke for a little which was a cool coincidence (me and my siblings literally walked out of a shop and into my friends). Then when we got back from, we played Crüe ball on the old sega megadrive we just dug out, and watched how to train your dragon afterwards. All in all, it was a really enjoyable day
My dad and I got this gorgeous tenon saw. It's one of those Spear and Jackson ones with the light light wood handle. We used to only have this old Stanley tenon saw, and it was good way back when, but it's quite dull and rusted now, so the new one is a delight to use lol. It cuts so well, and the metal mirrors the wood very well so straight cuts are noticeably easier. Changed a woodwork from school from September into a shelf for the chisels too, so that's really cool
Also chose a topic/experiment for my chemistry course, so hopefully I'll be able to use it and actually get work done on that. It's an experiment to do with pondweed (?) and it's on the biology course so I think I'm allowed to use it since it's not from the chemistry course
