haha - I was having a sly ciggie in the darkness around the side of the house last night and Jimmy affectionately headbutted the back of my calf.

I hadn't heard her coming and dropped my cigarette with surprise. Crafty buggers, cats.

wow there was some EXTREMELY great music around when you were a young 'un

i dont know about the tortoises. got my camera ready for the next time i'm down the canal. they did look more tortoise than turtle, even though they were surrounded by water..

i've also seen a terrapin around there as well. perhaps a whole new ecosystem of unwanted pets is forming there..!

one of the most vivid memories of my childhood is chasing swallows in the school playing field. they would always fly low to catch insects, and we always thought we had a chance of catching one..
