Positive numbers on the liquid metal gauge, negative
atmospheric movement, not a drop of skywater (yet) and Dawn’s crack has taken a
day orf at the Castle this morn.
A wondrous weekend, warmish, exceedingly sunny stuff and
even the chance to have a sit in the garden and listen to the birds coughing,
the butler is stocking up on fat, carbon neutral teenagers (just in case) and
his Maj has discovered the joy of ambush from him/her upstairs knows where....
It seems that Chris Huhne still has friends in high-ish
places, and is enjoying the aviary, three tennis courts, football and hockey
pitches, a gym and fitness suite as well as ornamental gardens at the “Savoy of
slammers” HMP Leyhill, Gloucester, where there is no perimeter fence and
convicts have keys to their own rooms.
Apparently the prison’s canteen is stocked by fresh produce
from the grounds, where inmates can do the gardening. Prisoners aged over 50
are also offered the chance to do “gentle” exercise such as Pilates.
Although Huhne was sentenced to for eight months in March
after his former wife took speeding points on his behalf. He is likely to be
released after serving just eight weeks.
Probably come out and get a job with HBOS.....

Giant goldfish (some growing as big as 18 inches) are now breeding at a brisk pace in Lake Tahoe, California.
Apparently the reckless behaviour of "aquarium dumping" threatening local ecosystems, but at least the local sushi restaurants are doing well...
And finally on this no news Monday:
Gullible bargain hunters at Argentina's largest bazaar are
forking out hundreds of dollars for what they think are gorgeous toy poodles,
only to discover that their cute pooch is in fact a ferret pumped up on steroids.
One retired man from Catamarca, duped by the knock-down
price for a pedigree dog, became suspicious he had bought what Argentineans
call a 'Brazilian rat' and when he returned home took the 'dogs' to a vet for
their vaccinations.
Imagine his surprise when his suspicious were confirmed - he
had in fact purchased two ferrets that had been given steroids at birth to
increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats
resemble a fluffy toy poodle.
LOL, LOL, LOL, I do like a bit of natural justice...
And today’s thought:
They told me it came from Longleat
