Kirsty enthralled us all with tales of wonderous record breaking birds today. It was a glorious day - here are pictures of us chilling in the sun...

...walking like penguins....

...flapping the biggest bird ever to live (what was it called again, Kirsty?)....

... and generally having a giggle....

In other news, we decided to start a very interesting ecological survey of our snails on the lighthouse garden wall:

Check back here for updates on how far numbers 1 - 20 travel in the next two weeks!

  • Yay! I'm glad the snails are getting more attention - have you found out what sort they are?  This reminds me of an experiment a friend of mine did with her garden snails (which were eating her lettuce).  She put a dot on them and took them to the field - they returned.  She put a 'W' on some and took them to the Woods - they ~didn't~ return.  She now takes all her snails off to the woods!

    Like two golden birds perched on the selfsame tree, intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body. The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life while the latter looks on in detachment.

    Mundaka Upanishad
