In which there are ice, fowl, goats, roots, and cracker jokes
- Humour, sort of…. What software should you run on an Advent calendar? [answer] Windows 24! [/answer] Ba-dum-tish!
What did the snowflake say to the fallen leaf? [answer] You are so last season. [/answer] /terrible xmas cracker jokes
- Watching photos of "ice pancakes" forming on the River Dee in Scotland (link to BBC).
- Watching goats, sheep, and fowl, on behalf of
corvi. One of the most worrying aspects of the animal behaviour at the Lazy Evaluation Ranch is that it’s not unusual in any way, as demonstrated at Surrey Docks Farm.
Q. Where is the best perch for a large guinea fowl? A. On top of a sheep, because they’re like carpet… albeit confused and uncooperative carpet.
Q. Who is the king of the castle? A. Nanny goat, and that’s "queen of the castle" to you!
- Reading, books 2014, 156.
155. Whispering Roots, by C. Day Lewis, was the poet’s last published collection before his death in 1972. Astonishingly, I don’t recall ever reading these poems before. The poems mostly divide between references to childhood and references to death.
156. The Bees, by Carol Ann Duffy, is a poetry collection what I read. ;-P
156.5 I read about half of A Painted Field, by Robin Robertson, which is about as far as I got last time. It’s not as execrable as The [Emperor’s New] Wrecking Light though iirc.
- So, what are you doing, thinking, wondering about, reading, watching, making, or writing, that you don't usually post about?
