Robin Feeding: The Next Generation
I found this year's feedable robin back around February. Two or three times a week I would go down to the lake on my lunchbreak with a little box of dried mealworms, and if I was lucky he would be there to fly to my hand and feed. (I say he; I really have no idea.) The feeding went through several distinct stages ( Read more... ) -
Double-booked
Much to my chagrin I was informed last week of a gig date that had already been confirmed, but which had failed to make it into my diary. And it's smack in the middle of AFPcamp which means that, for the first time since the '98 Con, I will be unable to attend a Diskworld summer event ( Read more... ) -

Evil Bassists and Spoiler Prevention
The downside of gigging on saturdays, as I currently do fairly frequently, is that I'm never able to watch Doctor Who until I get home. At least I'm safely away from the internet and can avoid spoilers ( Read more... ) -
Fanvid!

Robin returns
I went looking for my feedable robin again this lunchtime. He appeared within seconds, and snaffled two dried mealworms in one bite while already holding a little green wriggling caterpillar in his beak. Greedy little bugger! :-) -
My Pre-Easter Mini-Break
I think my poor LJ may be feeling a bit neglected. I never manage to write things up in a timely manner, as I never seem to find the time to collect my thoughts or, if the occasion requires, collate pics. For instance, I haven't said a word about my trip to the New Forest Wildlife Park a couple of weeks ago. (Otters! Lots of otters! Sooooo cute!) ( Read more... ) -
Hugh's House Of Blues
Earlier today Hugh Laurie broadcast a live performance of several tracks from his first musical project. He's hardly the first actor to make the leap to music, and it was obvious from the diverse range of musical parodies he performed in A Bit Of Fry & Laurie that he's pretty damn talented. And while Too Long Johnny may be a parody, strip away the ( Read more... )
