SCENT OF LIFE - BREAKOUT

Left: as found April 21 2012. Right: Today tiny sprouts emerging from the narrow aperture.

Published on 21 Apr 2012

Found in the woods close to where I live in Maidencombe, Devon, United Kingdom, an old scent or cologne bottle with a drop aperture. Think how many years it would have taken for the tiny amounts of soil to percolate inside the bottle - ultimately providing a miniature encapsulated ecosystem for life to sprout. A tiny miracle of the persistence of nature to succeed ... See video in right hand side panel.

The Bluebird soars again

The adage 'One swallow does not a summer make' by Aristotle springs to mind with the return to gentle jogging of Bluebird (seen above winning the Herald Express 3 mile run for the fifth successive year). 
Well, not just one but nine consecutive days of running have now elapsed giving rise to optimism that the Bluebird will soar again.

DOWNDOWN HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE CRIDFORD INN

BLUEBIRD BEETLEJUICE AT THE CRIDFORD INN

Bluebird's back hashing and appears soberly (for him) attired in a Beetlejuice suit.  And yes, he's going to wear it on the trail, cross country and river crossings ...

ROLLING ONCE MORE!

Long has the Preconderotous languished with the last posting a lamentable 13 months ago.
But now I can - with some glee - report that we're gearing up to roll once more!
The roll commences with Bluebird taking to the trail at the Cridford Inn in darkest Trusham this evening.

Lest you have forgotten,  this site is actually the repository of the largest collection of hashing video clips anywhere in the world with Bluebird (he of over 500 hashes on the Teign Valley Hash) the author and compiler.

Still confused?  Of course you are but you'll get the hang of it quite soon.
But that's not all - the adventures of Bluebird and the Cruisedog also feature as well as anything that takes our flight of fancy - without interference such has been the case on my other blogs - notably www.maidencombe.net where stuffy sniffing residents seek to control content.

We are free spirits here - so sit back and enjoy ...
