Tiger, Tiger Having Fun

I went to the zoo yesterday. One of the keepers was trying to give a tiger talk. It was fine while she explained why they were not yet in sight, and we watched another keeper seed the enclosure with smelly things as enrichment. But as soon as the tigers came out, the excitement of the crowd drowned her out almost completely.

Be warned - this is very loud, so you might want to turn your volume down a bit before you play it.



A few minutes later, after I'd put my camera away, Lumpur tried (and as usual failed) to mate with Raika. His aim is off, and he has never quite managed to achieve entry. Strangely, they've never found anyone willing to guide him...

Didn't see you

Last night See Me was on Universal. I wasn't in to watch it, but it should have been recording for me. It wasn't, even though the series link was still in operation. Don't know how that can be.

Fortunately, I have plenty of pictures to remind me how much I like this episode.

Sweet in a Suit in Suite Sorrow

Though he'd be even sweeter without a suit...or any clothes at all...

Goren vs Crummy Keith

Gosh, wonder who won!

The guy with the wrists and fingers


And thumbs


Clutching the biro


With empathetic eyes


With those eyelashes and that tongue


With bedroom eyes


With a playful nature


Who should be whispering in my ear


Goren the Gorgeous.

Sometimes...

...you just have to go with the slideshow!



Meanwhile, the mystery of the musical hot air balloons is solved. I emailed a hot air balloon society, and they put one of those responsible in touch with me. Robin Batchelor was the pilot of Daisy, the red and white balloon. He wrote: "Dan Jones composed the music you heard and Luke Jerram is the Artist behind the project. The whole idea is presented by LIFT, the London International Festival of Theatre with the support of the Mayor's Office for London at the Greater London Authority to celebrate the one year anniversary before the opening of the 2012 Olumpic Games and LIFT's 30th birthday."

He enclosed a link to the Sky Orchestra website: http://www.skyorchestra.co.uk/

If you visit, you can click a balloon and hear the music.

Alien Invasion?

This morning, at about 10 to 6 (!!!), as I was getting ready to let the hens out, I heard a strange sound coming from I knew not where. It was ethereal. I turned my head this way and that without being able to locate it. Then suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something overhead that seemed to be the source of the heavenly ringing. I rushed in to get my camera.



I have no idea where they came from, or where they were going to. I have even less idea why they were emitting such strange musical tones. But it was a magic moment. I think it was what the ancients had in mind when they imagined that the universe made music.

And here am I in the middle of London!

Revisit

I made this video for Sixtwosue over two years ago. It presents one of Bobby's sexiest features.
