Wow, that looks like a big’un, fish. Definitely the crysalis of a caterpillar Actually, it looks to me like a moth pupa, but I have no idea what species. Keep an eye on it an see what crawls out – stick it in a jam jar with the lid on (holed for ventilation of course) then you’d be able to take a piccy of the emerged beasty and post it up._________________

Hi All, I think it depends what you expect or want from the museum – if you want to know about local heritage and what ‘made’ the town then our museum certainly covers that. Our local museum is by no means grand so has good and bad points to it, the most astonishing of which I discovered recently was that it loaned (if not given) articacts to the British Museum. I don’t know much about museum ettiquette, but I have never been to the British museum (yet – I know, I know) so don’t know if the finds are of extraordinary importance or what the relevance of them is. The local castle has recently been ‘re-excavated’ the discoveries and outcomes of which, I found in a back room, tucked on the top floor at the back of the building with very little detail as to how, for example, the excavations were carried out. Perhaps this is because the ‘average’ tourist isn’t bothered, but that’s one heck of an assumption to make. The museum itself tends to focus more on artefacts from Egypt discovered in someone’s front room about 50 years ago. The rest, maps and local tools and equipment used by the Police and local seamstresses. Overall, not wholly my cup of tea, but then as I’ve said, it depends what your cup of tea is

Time only matters, when it’s running out…

Well, I’ve just forked out for a squirrel secure peanut feeder. The little swine didn’t get through the wire, he chewed off the plastic base and emptied the contents all over the lawn! Although it’s squirrel secure, it seems to be putting off the birds, they don’t seem to be eating as many as before, so I wonder if they’re not too keen on putting their heads through the outer wire cage.

Humus – to scratch outside is manly, to scratch inside is VERY manly
