Just been to get the mail and I'm not sure whether to moan, moan because it's taken so long, or be so happy because it's finally arrived. My March AGS Bulletin, that is. I know we live on the other side of the worlf but even the 18th and 19th century sailing ships didn't take THAT long. ???

What is surprising though, I hadn't even noticed that it hadn't come weeks ago. I guess that says something about the place the Forum fills in my life, when I don't realize the lack of what has always been my closest thing to a bible.

Groan..... I am so OVER the whole Michael Jackson memorial concert/Media blitz/saturation marketing campaign.  There's already a second re-run of the concert on for the day (that is the third showing I think), and some of the TV stations have cancelled all their other stuff and are just doing interviews with Joe Schmuck who happened to be outside a take-away food store that happened to have a re-run of the concert showing on their TV (or something like that  ::)).  Enough already!!  >:(

I find that the media frenzy the last few days have done more to tarnish my memory of MJ than any of his strange antics over the years.  At the moment I think I'd be happiest to never hear of him ever again.   :-\

It has been a good day for catching up on stuff we'd recorded and never gotten around to viewing though, so that is a bonus.  Murky and cloudy day outside, otherwise I would have been out gardening.  ;)  I hope everyone else is having a good day.
Cheers.

Well, now that you come to mention it, Paul, the weather here is wet, wet, wet (not the pop group  ;D) and it's been raining for 2 days solidly, very miserable and cold AND no butterflies - are they on a slimline time (have to careful how I phrase this!) where do they hide out I wonder?

Cliff, what a fabulous photograph of a blue butterfly in the Dolomites in peak condition - will try to see which one it is in Guy's butterfly pages - there are so many blues but I'm beginning to recognise them; nothing as special as your shot though - superb!  Hope you're having good weather, lots of rain passed by here over last 2 days.
