*is too tired to talk like a pirate any more*
I love Yahoo's headlines. They're such nonsense. "Robbie Williams could be abducted by aliens and "come back as an ambassador for their race", an expert claims."
Some picspam.
A seagull on my bathroom skylight:
The whiteboard at work today, drawn by yours truly (except the bits in green):
I went to an open day / fair thingy at some nearby allotments several weeks ago, and it was amazing. I forgot I hadn't posted about it. I stroked a python, admired the prize marrows, listened to various singers, relaxed in a hammock (every fair should have a section in a tiny bit of woodland with some hammocks), saw some belly dancing, listened to various bands, and spent ages looking at various birds. I stroked this guy...
...VERY very carefully. He didn't take my arm off, which was nice.
This lady...
...was enormous - an Eagle Owl. She made a great deal of fuss until her handler gave her a mouse. But this girl...
...was my favourite. She looked so very pissed off. :) She's a Bengal Owl.
There was a definite hippy vibe to the place. They had some nice signposts scattered around one section:
And... that's about all I've got. See y'all at the Redial rewatch tonight.

I am also thinking that you have much better handwriting on signs than I do.
Those owls look familiar ... Was there a barn owl called Sybil? I think I met them as a Heathen Fest in Peterborough a couple of years ago.
Arr! and avast! back to Horatio. :)
Gorgeous owls. A couple Christmases ago we pulled a tiny little owl out of my parents' fireplace (no fire ;) - it had got stuck in the chimney and made its way down to the fireplace doors. Full of ashes but otherwise seemed OK!
Catch you at the rewatch!
And, aw! Well done for rescuing the owl - poor little bugger. Heh.
See ya there! Oh, that reminds me, I should really go open the chatroom...
Alas, our little owl was not carrying my Hogwarts letter, boo.
That Yahoo! bit on Robbie Williams is pretty hilarious.
...No, I know what the silliest part is: Robbie Williams might be sent back to us as ambassador for an alien race. Exactly how desperate / lacking in judgement are these aliens? :D
You're drawings are excellent. Did you spend all day at work talking like a pirate? Cuz I'm sure that went over well. heh.
Beautiful signage. You draw very well. So... did everybody speak like a pirate?
And Eagle Owls are freakin' huge! Incidentally ('cause I can't see owls these days without thinking HP - damn you Rowling!), so are snowy owls. Big, big birds.
Yeah, at one point the handler was holding the Eagle Owl on his arm - he said she was much lighter than she looked. She'd have to be, to get airborne. *g*
