Bloody Nora

At last, a long weekend to relax! Finally I get to make some posts. :-)

Check out "Bloody Nora" the head-banging granny from Grimsby. I think this is the best way to grow old. Gracefully.

Nail Puzzle

My woodworking skills are not the best but I think I might give this a try. It looks simple enough to create an interesting artefact that can be a talking point at parties.

Creepy Or Cute?

Despite this being a rather venomous spider, somehow the following video makes it look cute. According to YouTube user DJAlMighty247, it lives on sand and dust, and most of the time just underneath it. This is also the way it hunts, just waiting for something to pass by. I just love the way it looks to be getting real comfy.

I'll Get The Ice Creams

I'm sorry that I have been a little too busy to post the last few days. I promise to try harder. :-)

Enjoy this wonderful short cartoon from the BBC. A comedic look at the dangers of leaving your children in the care of their father whilst you go to get ice cream.

Travelling iPhone Sends Postcards Home

Katy McCaffrey, according to her Facebook account, had her iPhone stolen back in April while on board a ship operated by Disney Wonder Cruise Lines. Now, a man who appears to be a Disney employee named Nelson has been taking photos with her phone, all of which soon began automatically uploading to her Apple iCloud Photo Stream account.

It's unclear whether Nelson has any idea that the photos are automatically uploading and it's also unclear whether Nelson actually stole the phone, he may have unwittingly bought the phone from someone. But she has shared some of the pics on Facebook (an album that has been extensively re-shared) and informed Disney so if Nelson is guilty I'm sure it won't be long before he is caught.

Spock's Address

No I don't know where he lives (Vulcan?), but I do want you to watch this. 81 year old Leonard Nimoy was asked to give the Fine Arts Convocation address at Boston University recently, he didn't hesitate to agree. With some Star Trek jokes he gives a very heartfelt speech about his life that is a joy to listen to.
