What a gift today! 7 beautiful swans. Although, i am a little worrie about finding enough water to keep these rather large birds swimming! I mean…did they really think about that before they bought them!!
I guess i could put 2 in the bath, one in the kitchen sink…one might fit in the sink downstairs…but we’ll [...]

It seems my house is turning into an avery! Partridges, doves, hens, it’s all getting a bit overcrowded. However, these geese should pop out some tasty eggs for my breakfast everyday. All i need now is a juicy little porker that will provide the two rashers on the side!
I’m going to feed them all up [...]

Now this is what i’m talking about…the fact that i would never wear 5 gold rings at once (because i’m not a chav and they don’t have big shiny fake coins in them) means that i can pawn them off and make some cash. That damn partridge isn’t worth a tenner…but these rings should fetch [...]

Today…i was lucky enough to be sent lots of calling birds. Well, actually, not that lucky at all! I can’t get 1 minute’s peace in my house without some daft bird calling me to ask i own the house and how much the mortgage is, if i need new windows, doors, flashings or gutters, or [...]

Doesn’t this say it all really?

I mean…who cares where the hen comes from? Do you? In fact…if you were burgled by a hen and you had to select the culprit in a line-up…do you think you could really choose the French one (you know he was French from ze akcent) when he stands next to [...]

Now who wouldn’t want two beautiful doves purring their little hearts out.
However…Christmas is in the middle of winter! What are turtle doves doing here in the middle of winter? They leave around September for far warmer climates. While their gentle purring could sooth even the toughest man into a gentle snooze…they’d probably never shut up [...]

Well, we have a peartree in the garden but i haven’t ever seen a partridge in it. Despite our tree being no more than 3 metres tall, i would be very surprised if i did see a partridge in it - not because partridges don’t live in my garden…but because they can’t fly! How would [...]

Gonna throw a couple of interesting Google facts out there…just for fun as I trawl countless books and articles to write my dissertation…
Google was originally called ‘Backrub’ after the novel way that it assessed the importance of websites by looking at the sites that linked ‘back’ to them.
Google tried to sell their, now famous, algorithm [...]

A recent friendly email from an interested party got me going on my latest Flickr group - ‘Guess Where In The World’.
There’s a number of groups like this on Flickr where people post photos of their town, state or even country…however no one took up the challenge of the whole world…that is until i came [...]
