They were graceful beasts weren’t they? Especially the Vulcan.
Came across this chappie on my kitchen floor – he was about as big as my hand. Unfortunately for him, the flash attracted my Owner, and his rate of climb on take-off wasn’t fast enough. She calculated the rate of climb and trajectory and picked him out of the air like a black, furry Bloodhound. Very pleased with heself she was, too.
And, for once, I thought to pick up my camera.
I must confess, I stole this from another site…
What if Rep. Anthony Weiner decided to run for President, with Eric Holder (Attorney General) as his Veep?
Then the ticket would be Weiner-Holder.
When they visited England there would be a Weiner-Holder-Balls conference, with Pickles on the side.
I need to procure a longer lens…
On the way to collect my car from a mechanic other than my usual man, I came across this – could have used one of these to enter the last comp. 🙂

I couldn’t find a vantage point to get rid of those blasted poles and wires – I wanted to include the lights on the coast.
Yes Val, I know, I’ve done a Lady Macbeth and the spot is still there… I’ll get it next time 😦
The Grauniad waxes wrath, (why don’t they ever wax Jennings?) on plans to found a new, private University.
British universities, plundered of resources by the bankers and financiers they educated, are not best served by a bunch of prima donnas jumping ship and creaming off the bright and loaded. It is as though a group of medics in a hard-pressed public hospital were to down scalpels and slink off to start a lucrative private clinic. Grayling and his friends are taking advantage of a crumbling university system to rake off money from the rich. As such, they are betraying all those academics who have been fighting the cuts for the sake of their students. Story.
Erm, ‘scuse me, isn’ this the same ‘newspaper’ wot advercates discriminashun against university applicants from, eg, private schools an’ middle class families? So, where’s the beef?
And my Granddaughter decided that she wanted her hair curled. In my daughter’s words:
Phew! It;s hot, hot, hot! I can;t believe my 5 year old daughter managed to cajole her grandfather into using the curling iron to curl her hair. I told her it was WAY to hot, and she just flounced out of the room saying- Pop Pop will do it for me! lol
And do I see any sign in the press that, sixty-seven years ago today, the greatest sea-borne invasion in history took place on the beaches of Normandy, beginning the end of the Great Patriotic War, excuse me, World War Two? I see that Hugh Bonneville is up for the Gentleman’s Club role, whatever the hell that may be, that Bob Geldoff has been rocking them in the aisles with his tales of love, that Wayne Rooney has had a hair transplant…
