Life Observed

The Planet Snaar is a truly strange place and it m oves in eccentric circles,   . The sky is always blue and the black and highly magnetic soil is tortured on a daily basis by the coriolis force. This results in an ever changing landscape of unstable ground. As a result the Snaarites haven't invented the wheel or mastered the art of building with stone. They do have twenty four words for "black" and seventeen for "curve". They have yet to discover the shortest distance between two points.

Sometimes you get wonderful patterns from natural things . Here's a lovely rainbow made of nothing more than diesel on wet tarmac. I notice these things, see: That's what you get for working in the countryside.

Apologies: No posts recently, dear reader. I have been kept busy with the new motor... This is t he interior view of my three year old Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B (yes, that is what they are called).   I am happy with it mechanically, but the electrics have a couple of gremlins that need sorting, so it has to go back to the dealer for 48 hours. They say that every second hand car has something wrong with it. That's why the previous owner finally sold it. Tediously, the sat nav reverts to it's default settings including Km and European time overnight, and the reversing sensors barely work. I would have a go at both of these but it has a warranty and I'd hate to break something.

Ever feel we are adrift in the empty wilderness of space?  Brrr...

The bright and low winter sun revealed that a certain John Cavery left his mark on the village church. Judging by the poor attempt at serifs on the script (and please note that modern scratchers don't bother with serifs..) I would say this was scratched in the 18th century. What was John doing in the churchyard? Was he hiding from the Vicar during the service? Perhaps he was waiting for his true love by moonlight? Alas we shall never know.

Silent and green, yet strong enough to fell a tree. The Ivy of life will make fools of us all if we are not careful. Oh dear. That was deep. Normal flippancy will be resumed shortly.

I thought I would Focus on this Leaf today. It's a Leaf on a Focus BTW.
