Addo Elephant Park
The BBC bus is now at Addo, just north of Port Elizabeth. C and I went there when we went to South Africa. It was a highlight. They are showing more of Addo later. Watch it!
Sea Eagles in Suffolk
Plans to reintroduce sea eagles to the Suffolk coast have been put on hold due to the economic conditions.
It would have been nice to see them, but the pig and poultry famers opposed to the plan have realistic fears. Many animals run for cover when they perceive danger and who knows what will happen.
But if the Suffolk coast is so suitable from sea eagles, I suspect that in perhaps the next century nature will take its course and they’ll be back. Look how falcons have come to live in Brussels Cathedral. Remember sea eagles live on carrion, so perhaps their niche is now filled by the countless crows and magpies, we seem to have everywhere. Are these birds partly responsible for the decline in small birds?

Boring!

ustice – Iranian Style
This report is appalling.
Can we really deal with Iran until they join the twentieth-century?
C Comes to me in a Dream
I don’t often dream of C, as I rarely dream about people, but I did last night. We were house hunting in Hampstead, or more likely a bit south-west. At one point we were in a garage and a lady appeared with a basset hound. He was called Lord Kinloch and two others appeared. We both thought this was the area for us. We were looking at a wreck of a property, when we met the very personable Asian developer. He said that he had the property for us just off Marylebone Lane. C also said she could put him in touch with a solicitor from Swindon, who had property to convert in London. The dream ended as we drove to Marylebone Lane.
The funny thing about the dream was that C was driving a blue Jaguar XJ-S. She had several, but all were red.
Even Old Bombs Are Dangerous
Probably sevnty years after it was dropped, this bomb went off in Germany.
I know thhat old film is examined to find them, but they must have missed this one! So very sad!
Not So Lucky
The hospital I’m in has no 4th, 14th, 24th or 34th floors. Superstition!
The News just gets worse
Every day seems to bring bad news stories;BP,Korea, India, volcanoes etc.
Listening to 5 Live
It’s so much better than CNN.
