Sunday Wol is nostalgic

[extemporanea]

We've been a scannerless house for a few years, and I finally caved and acquired the cheapest scanner I could find, the better to facilitate various French legal document-providing wossnames as well as my obsessive blogging pursuits. Ceremonially, I have scanned the first photo. Inevitably, it's a wol.

I acquired a new multipurpose newfangled wifi type printer/scanner/copier/fax just before Christmas. The wifi and scanner don't actually work. It's now mid-May. I've totally failed to manage to do anything guarantee-wise. Am hopeless. Hopeless. (And really do rather need a scanner.) On the plus side the actual print function works very well... so that's something.

Oh, dear. I just recycled all the packaging on my nice new scanner, starrily thinking "guarantees, pshaw, sure I won't need those." So far it's purring away scanning quite happily, but I shall take your Cautionary Tale to heart. Next time, at any rate.

I love birds of prey. You--and they--were lucky to have known each other, and your stories about them are lovely! You should write them up and send them to a birding magazine. :-)

I'm glad a fellow raptor-lover likes the reminiscences - I take for granted, to a large extent, how much my life was entwined with birds and animals, growing up, until it occurs to me to turn them into narrative. I have indeed been incredibly lucky.

Awww. They look just like the ones in Owl Babies .

I love that book! gave Da Niece a copy a while back. Wols are pretty much the family totem, and the young must be indoctrinated early.

The owls are not what they seem.

I dunno, they seem like owls to me... ;>

You remind me I really must watch Twin Peaks. I wonder who I lent my copy to?

Awww wols :)

Those are pretty cute wols. Have you been to the raptor rehabilitation centre next to Spier? They have lots of wols, some quite tame. Also, the secretary bird is awesome!

That top pic is in the dictionary under "disapproval" :P
