Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

Wols have to turn their heads to look at things, because they have conical eyeballs, which can't rotate in teh sockets like spherical ones.

Oooh - he didn't tell us that. He did tell us that the iris colour is a good guide to whether they are diurnal or crepuscular or nocturnal. But Barn Wols don't fit that rule.........

Ooh - and Barn Wols have deadly hearing (if you is a long tailed vole)

I like the crepuscular word too

I am intending one day to visit the Owl Sanctuary near Moreton in Marsh at some point.

Yes, Arch, well done on making a start. I am sure the existing Scrapstores would be happy to assist. One of the employees at the one in Worcester is a Trustee of Scrapstores UK.

One note of caution, you do not need to be mad to work in one, but it does help. I greeted one employee today with the words "I have seen the photos of your fat bottom." She knew straight away what I meant, but the person standing next to her, did not.

There is a good explanation for my comment. Last week they had a load of items donated from the wardrobe department of a local theatre. This included the prothesis (?) for very fat bottoms of Pantomine characters etc, photos of which are on the website (January's archive, I think).

One of the other people there had rescued half a toy dog from some scrap, and given it some back legs like wheels, attached to its body - the dog's name was, of course, Arthur.

Yes, I saw that picture!

It does look jolly fun. I already hanker after the odd bit of nice paper we find in the recycling, if I wasn't careful my flat could turn into a scrapstore....

 

[Speicher]

I am the same with fabrics.

There's your answer - start your own scrapstore.

When I was up in Northumberland in the autumn for a cycling weekend, we went to a steam fair and car boot sale. There was a stuffed toy on wheels on one stall. Very run down and sad looking, there was some debate as to whether it was a lamb or a donkey. I rather fell in love with it, but it was utterly impractical - we were all on bikes, and it would have been very difficult to carry on a rack. And I don't have any room for more stuff.

But I still wonder if anyone else took pity on it.

In my flat? I've only got room for one scrap....

 

[Speicher]

This was a very small toy dog, perhaps smaller than Seamus.

Put in a planning application for a scrap store, with staff accomodation attached.

 

[Night Train]

Oh no, don't tell me Night Trains up to his old tricks again?

Me?
What?

On my elderly computer, that video just looks like a series of stills of UFOs....

It'll keep for six months or so for when you have your new one delivered.

You don't know what you're missing Arch

Could be evidence that we are not alone

Elderly or not it is giving you the correct impression.

And no wols about. Did NT scare them off?

Oh - why didn't you tow the scruffy toy behind Arch? It was on wheels
