Medieval Helpdesk
I found this at work today. (Yes, I was doing legitimate work, thanks :p) It's mildly diverting. | | Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | | 7:01 pm |

Brilliant :)
As anyone trying to catch a short-haul or domestic flight out of Heathrow at the moment may be aware, it's just a tiny bit foggy. Which is great, because it makes everything oooh spooky. Sadly, I didn't manage to get a picture of the ghost hunt man in his top hat and long coat. Kind of Jack the Ripper. Also, he made his audience laugh at me the other night when I walked past, so I feel no inclination to promote him :p Yep, that's my excuse.

Shouldn't the sky be grey?
Daffodil pictures to come later, but in the meantime here's a few views of York Minster and the Museum Gardens during a few days of glorious sunshine recently. This was immediately prior to the hail and flash flooding. And I thought Sydney weather was moody. ( York in the Springtime (or thereabouts) ) | | Monday, March 20th, 2006 | | 4:46 pm |
For your consideration... From Wikipedia: The role of the Hyrax in European history."From a distance and with a little imagination, a hyrax could be mistaken for a very well-fed rabbit — indeed, early Phoenician navigators mistook the rabbits of the Iberian Peninsula for hyraxes (Hebrew 'Shaphan'); hence they named it 'I-Shapan-im', meaning "land of the hyraxes", which became the Latin word 'Hispania', the root of Spain's modern Spanish name, 'España', and the English name, 'Spain'. Also, most of the rabbits mentioned in English Bible translations were actually hyraxes, as early translators could not come up with a specific word for these animals, which were unknown in Europe at that time. (The word for hyrax in Hebrew today is usually used to describe a rabbit.) Also, the Bible mistakenly describes hyraxes as ruminating animals." Oopsie :D | | Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 | | 3:57 pm |

Now, this is also for the benefit of my dear parents and siblings, so could we all please be on our best behaviour, comment-wise? As always, of course :) ( Snow! ) |
