手製 Humpty Dumpty, 童年時的英國童謠, 以前香港的小孩子都會唸這首詩.
肥蛋頭人, 雖然醜陋, 不過也買了一個.
據檔主說, 這幾個Humpty Dumpty 是最後一批, 以後再不製作, 買了紅色的, 之後會帶他去山頂玩.
小時候也來Michaelmas Fair, 當時已經有Humpty Dumpty, 是英國太太手製的, 也許那些英國太太把手藝傳了給香港人吧.

Hand-made Humpty Dumpties!!!!
In the past, most children in HK knew about this English nursery rhyme, and I had come to this annual Michaelmas Fair during my childhood time, and I remember I had a Humpty Dumpty before.
(In the past, Humpty Dumpties were hand-made by British housewives from the church.)

The lady @ the kiosk told me that they are the last batch of Humpty Dumpty, no further production in the future.
I bought a red one and he's going to Victoria Peak with me afterwards.


Second-hand book, a good one.

深秋冬眠體驗營
COOL!!! Autumn hibernation camp: sleeping inside portable hibernation capsule

Album:



天氣開始轉涼, 使用睡袋又太悶熱, 最後買了睡袋帳篷
The weather is getting cooler these weeks, time to take a bivi sac, but it is really not a comfortable choice for me.
Finally I bought this bivi tent.
Better ventilation, enough space for storing backpack & really warm when sleeping inside.

搭好了, 完全像一個冬眠箱.
Finished setting up my first bivi tent.
It looks like a hibernation capsule from Sci-Fi movies.



控制室在此.
The cockpit!



蓋上迷彩外帳, 體驗冬眠之樂.
With the camouflage rainfly ON, time to experience our hibernation tour.



Time for hibernation!!



冬眠之後, 有蛋糕吃.
