( my original question )

Does any one happen to know whether there are many midges around in april?

EDIT: In Bath. In particular, near to the river

went to lunch at Zero degrees coz James 'Hoppit' Leggit is leaving our office.... Had mango beer and a caramelized pear, walnut and gorgonzola pizza. Nice.

It has been pointed out that the new olympic logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving head. At first I thought it looked like a botched representation of europe... any advance....

Hiya....As you may know I am moving house at end of June.... Theres no way of putting this nicely -

anyone available saturday 23rd June to help moving a piano?

water fight

... if any one's interested

this morning I saw a little birdy having a bath in the rain water collected in the plant-growy-thingy, which was nice. I think it was a robin although it did seem a little large for a robin, i thought i saw a glimpse of red.

In othe news science may be broken again, sorry for the interruption, however I am going to plod on as usual.
