Today I saw

[Fnaar]

I once took a tin of alphabetti spaghetti to italy when i went to visit some friends over there. They were totally bemused and a little disturbed by what we had done to their national carbohydrate source. B)

The other day we were discussing the mechanics of having a bee as a pet. I like bees, they're furry and very strokable. We were wondering if you could tie it to a string of cotton and take it for a walk...'let it off the leash' and so on....

Courtesy of Monty Python:

Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?

Singing...

La dee dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.

Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!

I saw some daffodils just coming out this morning on a road verge that faces south.

I have a daffodil in my front garden. The other 37000 on the green opposite are due to flower in the next few weeks.

Parkway and the arterials almost look nice for 9 days towards the end of march don't they? Bless manchester city council.


Well it's still freezing and bleak here in denmark so you can keep it.

Me first early potatoes have poked their noses out and the mint is stirring.

That is early for spuds! Do you live in Israel? or did you just leave them in from last year?

Blimey, I thought I wasn't supposed to plant them until Easter!

Mine are in the spare room, chitting. If I listen very carefully, I can hear them - the chittering classes
