Brwreakshit's got interesting, but I really
don't care, I mean I do care, but I don't care-care if you know what I mean, the sheeple deserve everything coming their way . . . the planets dying and not enough people are doing enough to save it
- an American said once of democracy that it was something the people deserved
to be fed in spade-full's, and that's certainly what's happening in Turkey,
Britain and the US at the moment!

H is for How They Come In
Bit of a dino'week this week! These were
earlier in the week and consists of three triple-A's at the back-right, two
older HK types on the left (one over-stamped 'China') and two nicer modern
chinasaurs - front right.
The same shop gave-up five bags of Airfix
Nappies (two 'French Line' and one each of the other three), and yes, it's a
shocking photo, but I know my life will never be long enough to justify the
time spent taking a better one! About a third were straight to recycling, the
rest will be checked against the collection and then probably go back to
charity, the bags were 50p each so, as it's all for charity; it works!
Then later in the week another dose of
dinomedicine with 1 from the 50p pile (spotty Dimetrodon) with six @ 20p each
(below) and four from another shop for three-quid. None of them marked and the
Dimetrodon and five of the others being the classic 'gaping mouth' chinasaurs!
Toy News
Not toys at all; but Links of London, the jewellers who produced those approximately
HO-OO-compatible, precious-metal Noah, farm and zoo sets we looked at here afew years ago,
have gone into administration which is sad - if you are among the few who could
actually afford to collect them!
Other News
Last week's bug (which was a bug, not a
beetle), was a Western [America] Conifer Seed Bug, and although invading Europe
since the 1990's (after becoming the not so Western by spreading East!), it has
also been spotted in the UK once or twice since 2007, including a whole cluster
one year, but I suspect mine came in with the current storms . . . anyway we
have a Scot's Pine at the bottom of the garden; hopefully it found it and can
over-winter in a hollow and fly off to Kent to look for a mate in the Spring!
They have also got to Japan, so clearly one of the 'Super Species' looking to
benefit from climate-change and human activity? It won't save them from the
final round of extinctions though!
Mushrooms this week; some relative of the
ink-cap growing out of the old Silver Birch, a similar colony a couple of feet
away has already melted to a sort of sooty fingerprint, I'll try to shoot the
aftermath of this one for next week, but I thought it looked like a gnome village,
of which there is one, in the queue.
