Avast, me hearties, I be afeared that the pirate fic I wanted to write has not materialised. I have words, but they be short of a compass or a map, damn their eyes.

*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:

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...

Photobucket

...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.

Wow, excellent pirate ship drawing! Also, the seagull on the skylight is cracking me up!

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!

Heh, ta - I copied it from something, 'cause I can't draw ships, but it came out okay. The seagull stayed there for ages, too - it knew we couldn't get near it. :)

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...

Not to barge in here or anything... but that totally sounds like something straight out of Harry Potter. I'm thinking of the Weasley's tiny little owl, here... XD

Ha! You're right! Um, Pidwigen, was it? Something like that. Silly little owl!

Alas, our little owl was not carrying my Hogwarts letter, boo.
