An eventful day ... as you have probably guessed from the title. For a start, I've bought a new mouse ... 30 hours have gone by and that mouse-borrower has not returned it. Secondly, I ferried my daughter and The Significant Otter up to a science exhibition which was being "presented" by said daughter's husband. He was there to answer visitors' questions, but wasn't getting many so I was hauled in to bombard him with lots of questions.. and I did. Oh yes ! And I got filmed as well, as I fought against the laws of Entropy by making a Fujimoto's Cube .... they're apparently going to show it both forwards and in reverse. Woo. I also pointed out that that e=mc² thing is a bit corny. Why is it exactly 2 ? I mean, we invented numbers like 2 and 456 and 45.337 and 7¾ ... but Einstein's Equation just neatly happens to have a power of exactly 2 .... that's remarkably ,er, neat isn't it ? A bit of a coincidence. He never gave me a proper answer to that. Ha !! But the real highlights were ... I got the first Fieldfare of the season on the drive up, and the first Redwing of the season on the drive back. Result !! Woo squared !! Proper birding !! And very appropriately, here's "Tous des Stars" ( all the stars) by the excellent French band Dolly, performing on their version of Top of the Pops.... . and here's the Deep Field .... ... ..endless galaxies ... ..and in all that lot, surely there must be life ... and just maybe, birds... but probably only a minuscule chance of birders to watch them. But ...what birds might they be ? What a thought .... what might they be ?
