Happy x-boxing day

Happy and peaceful Christmas and New Year to all.

You've heard the ebay song - now check out the Flickr movie by Jonathan Coulton

How far is it to Babylon 5?

My better half Mike said, 'Hey, why have you got that picture of Yoda on your blog?'
So he took the test.

A quiz you would try?

I like these songs

I found Jonathan Coulton's blog here . I really like what I've heard so far.

Moths

An Angle Shades moth is sitting on my back door. This morning in the same place there was a Silver Y.
Two Hummingbird Hawk moths visited the buddleia in the garden last week. I watched them for about 5 minutes. They didn't alight, but hovered on incredibly fast-beating wings just like their namesakes, probing the flowers for nectar.

Hurrah for the holidays!

Great day with the kids at Studland Beach, thanks to a friend who lent their beach-hut. Saw a Common Blue butterfly on Sheep's Bit Scabious (great colour co-ordination!). Then the children spotted a lizard basking on the steps of the beach-hut.
