He took an early retirement in the South of France and has started inventing things. Here's his solar-powered pool heater.
It's a hose painted black. It works. Here's his combined bread-board/bread-bin.
Properly handy. Now here, he assures me, is a straight-backed lilo chair fashioned from pool noodles:
It's quite had to get right. Recently he's started trying to invent board games too. Trying and succeeding. This is "Kaleidoscope":
It's hard to play, but easy to learn, and quite reminiscent of Scrabble only with colours. (Mum and Dad play Scrabble every evening.) He plans to take Kaleidoscope to the Essen "Spiel" convention in October. Here's the second game he's working on: "Stone Henge" which we played appropriately at sunset.
The Folk's porch gets great sunsets. I loved Stone Henge. Then, sometimes he just sculpts.
I don't know.
Your dad is brilliant, particularly with the lateral-thinking pool heater. I'm guessing "Stonehenge" is a bit more organised than using Jenga blocks to build a miniature replica Stonehenge, which is how I usually play it ...
ReplyDeleteThanks! There are cards too. I don't want to say too much in case I jeopardize my massive massive inheritance.
