I’M ILL (01/03/11)

Sorry misread the draft I’m a hundred and eleven………….feel like it after today.  It’s my birthday, feel free to sing.

We have walked and walked looked in at the Owl Centre at Muncaster Castle had an illuminating chat with one of the bird keepers……Chat! We were there over an hour. He can handle birds, no bother! I did wonder last year why they had a pair of Red Kites in captivity, now I know. They were imported illegally and sent here by HMCE. By the time DEFRA/ RSPB/CAA and all the other  QUANGOS  had discussed the matter a year had passed. They were then human dependant for food. Too many chiefs and far too few indians…… These government departments breed quicker than blow flies and are less use.

I did a post on this place and was worried about the birds being released as opposed to being held as a tourist attraction. The latter is not on their agenda. Whilst I was there a buzzard was circling free. They have to feed it. It has bred in the wild but comes back for food………….not daft aren’t birds.

Apparently there is a big problem……not climate change but destruction of habitat. Whilst I'm in ‘Born Again’ mood. This set of unelected clowns that purport to be government are now after the twenty million sterling a year that mineral companies pay to restore natural habitat…………..Okay it doesn’t go far. It does help and seeing mammals, birds and fish is important. I can’t tell flora from fauna……even have trouble spelling the latter. These Muppets want outing………….not as in gay but as in morally corrupt, out of power they totally incapable. They act like the parish priests of old……omnipotence is their creed . I would not leave any of the blighters in charge of an empty wheelbarrow.

Enough!

It’s my Birthday. I took very few pictures and am walking more. A mate of mine is up and though it’s nice to wander in company photography is a solitary thing.

These were e-mailed by Laura Hartley…..I assume self portraits. She looks better than this in real life, not much if I’m honest. I love this style of her artistic impression.

She’s getting better than good. I love them.

    I love them them… Both of them…………….way beyond me.  She is just starting out. Artists are two a penny . Most only command serious money when they are dead…………….What is the use of money when one is dead?

Please Comment The lass has a good and bad portfolio.(Why does this word have a (f) and not a (ph)? Sounds like a PH one to me. Get in touch by e-mail and I will pass her contact details on. If her work takes your fancy.

I’ll get back to the most important person in the whole wide world…………….Me… It’s my birthday.

What I took today

  Ravenglass the dog to the left is Purdey.

Muncaster Castle……………A Victorian pile, it’s either okay or I am not. …..I have a slight leaning towards the former.

    It even has it’s own wee church. Loads of folk buried here….it was shut I’ll look into it further next year.

Tomorrow is a birding day…………HEY HO! more awful snaps on there way.
