Thanks, I do set up blogs and then forget about them.

 

Have a lovely weekend!

Have you ever been to Monkey Forest near Stoke? I went last year, they have a bunch of macaques that I expect to escape one day and create the Planet of the Macaques, and for now you can just walk around with them to see what that would be like. Kind of cool.

Donkey's years ago Les Miserables came to The Palace Theatre in Manchester. The production featured a huge set complete with rotating stage and I was totally blown away by the cast, the scenery and of course the musical itself. I've seen it a couple of times in London as well, most recently 4 or 5 years ago, and the theatre was smaller and although the set was still Cameron Mackintosh's spectacular rigging it all felt a little constrained and tired. Still a powerful musical. Anyway I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet, if you have please let us know what you thought. Feedback so far is it is great if you haven't seen an amazing stage production, and good fun if you have. (The clip below is from a 10th anniversary special with a big orchestra on stage and standing mics. Obviously that isn't the usual set-up.)

 

OK. Jumu'ah Mubarak and Shabbat Shalom!  Have a great weekend.

Yes, I've been to MONKEY FOREST. I went there over 5 years ago i think? It was a good experience full of Barbary Macaques! I found them really adorable.

They are. Probably best if you have young family members.

Just saw the film, worth seeing on a big screen and definitely held up well against the theatre production, most impressive (but I was overtired and it was about 4 songs too long! In the theatre you get a break).

Peace and Love, people!

Enjoy the half term kids 

Aye much love, am on my phone so no pics or vids. You don't need them, just have a great weekend!

My boiler went last night. On inspection it was two special fuses on the circuit board.  That suggests some other problem is blowing the fuses but in the hope of a few weeks respite and after a chilly night I went to an electrical shop and replaced the fuses (they cost pennies; boiler repairs can run into many hundreds).  When the boiler fired up again I was so proud.  Then after a few hours they blew again.    Fortunately I bought spares and fitted those so if it stays on long enough I can quickly shower before going out to my brother's for Shabbat dinner, and I've got a good plumber coming round Monday so I will keep the boiler switched off unless I really need it and hopefully I won't have to go smelly for a day or invest in electric heaters.  fyi.  And now I'd best rush.

 

Jumu'ah Mubarak and Shabbat Shalom!

FInally got the boiler fixed, all week it was working with my spare fuses but I couldn't leave it on for long, maybe an hour of heating here and there and for hot water. Plumber finally had the part yesterday.

Here's a nice game: http://khele.in/pappu-pakia/

Oh come on, that's not a raise, the poem vid was way better. You didn't even wish anyone a nice weekend. 

 

Hey everyone, watch this:">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]

 

No, really, I like this one. There's another one out there with two people doing something similar but this is the original meme:

How's the following for breakfast

Pretty nice. Sweet tooth much?

 

TPOS I thought he was solving three Rubik's Cubes, that would have been way impressive. I was good with those as a kid but lost the knack. The thing with Rubik's Cubes is to know the middle, corner and edge pieces and then it isn't as complicated as it looks, I think. http://www.rubikssolver.com/

Sorry TPOS!

re: Peace & Love, these guys found a lamb about to be washed out to sea.

 

 

And I've got a new browser homepage, perhaps it's a touch cheesy but it's neat anyway. http://www.csun.edu/~panferov/kimos.html

 

And I'll share a couple of links to this comic I found funny.  http://thedoghousediaries.com/1106 and http://thedoghousediaries.com/4524. You might want to use that second one now and again in response to the odd forum post.

 

This guy has some cool thingies (browse more from the little icons at the top): http://www.tossingturning.com/

 

And here's a random nature pic I took some time:

 

[color=deeppink]And Jumu'ah Mubarak and Shabbat Shalom! Happy Women's Day and have a great weekend![/color]

The pink says I'm comfortable with pink.

The link is one I stumbled upon. Having given the secret away I might just stick to music vids and my photos in future.

Have a great weekend!

awww thats the kindest thing someone has done for a lamb! Bravo! 

 

and you just stood there to take some photos -.-

 

lol

Happy Women's Day. Yes, yes, we are awesome. I'm having a (moderately) fun weekend, hope its fun for everyone else too!

 

I didn't just stand there, I pushed the lamb in and then took photos while a couple of guys tried to save it before it drowned. The shot of the lamb on the rock is just beforehand. (No, my photo was at the bottom of the post, the lamb ones are a cute story off the internet.)

Wandering around Manchester recently I was somewhat disappointed that both Cube and Urbis are now pants - Urbis is now a football museum and Cube had a bunch of schoolkids' pics on the walls. Anyway this is in the Manchester Museum, I do love it:

Liberal Judaism offers some of the culture of a traditional monotheistic religion without sitting in judgement. I like the warmth and depth of old tradition and find Liberal Judaism bland, but that is an emotional reaction. For someone who wants a bit of community and to find their own religious path it is an option. Or maybe he fancies the girls there.

 

Hope y'all are having a great weekend.

Jumu'ah Moo-barak! Peace and love! Have a great weekend!

Walking in the park I photographed this dandelion, which I always thought was the male, with the yellow flower being the female. The more you think about that the less sense it makes.

Googling brought up the above vid and this link which set me straight. How silly am I? How cool is this plant?

 

I put a bunch of them in my spaghetti tonight with some wild garlic flowers and the mushrooms I found yesterday, and a bit of cheddar. Do I sound pleased with myself?

Hummus,

Looking To See,

Timperley. The closest locations for a good walk are Dunham, Tatton and Lymm, but I get a lot further out if I need to, and if I'm in Cornwall or Wales or the Lakes or Scotland, or anywhere with cool nature spots, I'm in my element. Anyway on any long journey I'm liable to stop and survey the local wildlife. So these photos aren't all from my doorstep although you'd be surprised at what you can find pretty much anywhere once you get into the swing of it.
