May 8, 2008 - Sunny days
The weather here has been most pleasant lately, hasn’t it!? Everywhere you go, there are loads of students laying out in the grass, older folks in suits taking lunch breaks outside and there are so many people laying around in the parks, like this fella who took an hour nap!

May 7, 2008 - Colourful drain
Out for a walk the other day and I came across this drain that had a bunch of VK tops around it. I wonder where they all came from.

May 6, 2008 - Woodlouse Spider
The woodlice spider, Dysdera crocata, is one of the few british spiders who has fangs that can penetrate our skin. Luckily, it usually uses them to pierce the armour of its favourite prey, woodlice (hence the name) instead. Apparently humans can have an allergic reaction to the bite. It is often found in gardens in damp places were woodlice are found, like under stones and logs. They are nocturnal. We found this cheeky little creep in the kitchen a couple of days ago. No sign of more, thank goodness!
