The starlings

A quick illustration of what my garden looks like occasionally, well except with less giant crabs. I do however have 8 pet starlings and also 2 pet blue tits that live out there. But maybe not the rabbits, replace them with a squirrel and its pretty much my garden.

Well it was my birthday last week and I must be officially old now as I got 1 pair of slippers and 5 pairs of socks. Now these weren’t ordinary socks they were in fact anti bacterial socks. Anotehr aamznig fcat tihs week I fuond out was taht all people hvae the aiblity to raed copmletely gibberish sntetences. It’s true any sentence can be perfectly interpreted so long as the start and end letter are right..

Quite amazing your brain really.

How the World Works

A quick sketch I did last night, entitled “How the world works”

The man in the Pacman Gallery dreams of a world of 1 and 2 eyed blobuloids. The blobuloids dream of cheese.
Cheese dreams peacefully, content in the knowledge that it is cheese.

And that explains how the world works.

Possibly, also on another note I took my car to a garage and it seems now even garages are taking to making up techno jargon. The car failed its MOT and one of the failures was “the nearside valve stem is missaligned”, I was thinking my nearside valve stems, that sounds quite expensive, and then I realised that despite having done car servicing on a DIY basis for about 5 years I had never heard of a nearside valve stem.

The only valves I could think of were engine valves, which would be pricy. So I asked the mechanic what exactly it was and it turns out the hub cap was pressing on the tyre valve. The hub cap needed rotating ! Another good one was the driverside headlamp was malfunctioning on dipped beam, which meant “the bulb had gone”.

Anyway I better get back to doing something.

Manfluenza

Influenza Bugs

Well, its been a while since I did a blog entry what with Xmas and my start to the New Year. I got a cold (man flu) last week which turned into a sinus infection and then a bad chest infection which meant I couldn’t breath properly. Fine now but the doctors put some of the mucus I coughed up on a microscope and found these guys floating round my lungs ! Seriously this is a genuine picture of a microscopic bacteria illustration.

Anyway apart from that I also renewed my household insurance over Xmas.Luckily the insurance company have added cover for damage due to a terrorist incident free of charge !! Which I am very happy about as obviously Warwick must be high on the list of locations that are prime terrorist targets.
