I was being nostalgic yesterday about my various Scilly expeditions... it's coming up to that sort of time .... so I looked at a few videos of other people doing it. Maybe I shouldn't have ... it can't help but hurt a bit. A little bit. I've picked this one to show you, mainly because not only does a "beginner" get 4 megas, it further rubs it in, because they're all birds I've not seen. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't suppose I'll be going again .. and it's not for the "usual" reasons ( money, family,time, work) it's mainly because nowadays, for some reason or other, I feel the pain of "missing" something much ( much) more than I used to. To the extent that I'll often not whizz off to spot some unticked specimen because I know it will hurt if I miss it. A lot more than it would have 20 years ago. And I suspect that's because time, for me at least, is running out. Ouch ! So, to dispel that gloomy note, here's a clever joke The Significant Otter and me concocted the other day ...... I'm sure others have thought of it too .......... it's a corny as 'owt... but memorable ...... Where's the best place to find a flock of bats ? Answer after the music .. which is .... Teenage Fanclub ..... "Ain't That Enough" ( v. appropriate !) If you can I wish you would Only if you feel you should Bring your loving over All adds up with circumstance All stood up with taking stands Bring your loving over Highlights glisten Silence listens Days that found you Embrace that found you Here is a sunrise Ain't that enough True as a clear sky, ain't that enough Toy town feelings here to remind you Summers in the city do what you gotta do Time can only make demands Fill it up with grains of sand Bring your loving over Highlights glisten Silence listens Days that found you Embrace that found you Here is a sunrise Ain't that enough True as a clear sky, ain't that enough Toy town feelings here to remind you Summers in the city do what you gotta do Toy town feelings whose gonna argue Summers in the city Summers in the city ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK .... that " Where's the best place to find a flock of bats ? " thing ....
