The Weekend

I was going to write a fairly detailed post about the weekend just finished, but Claire got there first. My weekend was pretty much the same as hers, but I drank on Friday, drove on Saturday, and didn't wear a short skirt at all.

This weekend did prove pretty good for bird-watching. Three pairs of buzzards were spotted (one on Saturday morning, two on Sunday afternoon) along with a couple of kestrels. Returning from the party on Sunday morning, we nearly ran over an owl sat in the middle of the road - thankfully it flew off. The size and colouring led us to identify it as a little owl, quite a rare sighting. In the past we've also seen barn owls, a sparrowhawk, and a peregrine. Birds of prey are obviously doing well in this area.

Alex Ferguson has proposed an alternative system for naming the victory levels in Heroquest. I like this, a lot, and intend to use this in future.
