Welcome to Episode 79 in my podcast view from the crow's nest. It is the 23rd of August 2020, how are you doing well today was day off, it was up all day off. And it was so day after we didn't leave the house for family day until about 230 in the afternoon, had a bit of a lion. And then I did some Italian practice and music theory practice. If you want to know more about that. Then listen to I think either yesterday or the day before his podcast one of the two. And yeah and then eventually got up got ourselves ready very laser Lee, and the original idea was, we're going to go to Villa I kept calling Villa ravine over I think there's a bit of revenge. It doesn't matter because it wasn't open when we wanted to go opened at 10 shot at one, and then open again at 330 and that kind of didn't really work for us because we only checked in a debate 11. And it's a 14 minute drive away. So we kind of cancelled that, and then instead we took the kids to this very nice kind of playground for us the area the place we went to last week. In fact, the kids have been to like about four times a week since, and the week before is really really nice area, and very good playground, which is more than can be said about most of the playgrounds in in a skier in fact in a lot of places in Italy that we've been and Leonardo fell asleep in the car. So I took me into the playground and we played with fire. Well, the initial parts of it. So, a few weeks ago I was talking about that I wanted to be more outdoorsy I wanted to the kids to grow up more outdoors he, and I'm certainly not an outdoorsy type of person. But I want them to have more experience of being outdoors and enjoying the outdoors etc skills associated. So I bought a whittling knife for Mina, and a compass and a kind of Flint, like Ferro iron thing for making, you know, flame kind of stuff, and sparks, I think we call it, and also many already had a magnifying glass. And so I said to her, you know, let's take these things. And then let's see if we can find a couple of different ways of making fire. So we tried out the Ferro iron thing to make sparks and we got some sparks out of it so that was cool. We didn't try make fire because it really wasn't an appropriate place to actually make a proper fire, but we've got sparks and that was definitely cool. And then we, we use the compass, or the compass the, what's it called the magnifying glass, and even though it was quite cloudy, when the sun came out and it wasn't even that strong when it came out there's still a bit cloud cover, we managed to get fit a couple of little tweaks smoking within about two or three minutes, really strong. So I mean, I really like that. Solid like six, you know, close to fire. And again, we didn't let them take full fight to full fire, because, you know, health and safety, health and safety. And then we play with the knife, which was also health and safety, health and safety. So that was cool, and then we did some challenges on the actual equipment mean it's getting stronger and getting stronger. So that was cool, like it's off for a bit when Leonardo and Simona right. and then we went on to a friend's house for, I don't know, just together, I guess, and he has been, he's a is just started beekeeping so on his roof is got like four or five beehives and he's just started collecting I think the first of the honey. So, we literally had like this virgin honey. And it's crazy I've never been, you know, with proper honeycomb like taken out of the hive, before the to stick your finger in and slosh a finger and it's just it's just delicious organic, as it comes honey. And then we put it in a centrifuge cuz apparently that's how you get the honey out. You know, you do scrape off the kind of whacked covering of the hive parts of the honeycomb so that it's exposed and then you put it in a centrifuge and you turn handle and all the honey goes. And then it goes down the bottom and then there's little silver at the bottom and that o
