    Ahhh... where's wheezy westie? There he is!

    Surreal drive home tonight. A squirrel strolled in front of my car, shortly followed by a low flying bird. Missed them both (was a 30 zone anyway) and was thinking that I felt a bit like snow white when all the animals come up to her.
    Then a couple of miles later at the national speed limit a mother duck started to walk her brood out into the road in front of me :eek: Luckily no one was close behind me (I checked first), so I managed to slow down a bit and move a bit further into the road and mummy duck made a retreat back to the verge with her babies.

    Were you singing a 'Happy Working Song' at the time?
    I think....

    Current Apple TV is an on-demand set-top box. Good for watching movies and sending network video/music/content from Mac to TV set.

    Rumours of an actual TV have been circulating for some time.

    Yes, but it plugs into your TV to. Supply it with programmes, rather than be a screen itself.

    If they had indicated, could the house have got out of the way?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Had a surreal journey to work this morning.

    As I was driving under a tree there was an enormous thud on my car's roof. I thought a branch had fallen onto it.

    When I got out of the car, I had the most enormous bird poo on it. So big, in fact, that I think that there are tree-dwelling emus living in the wilds of Herts. Think a quarter of the size of an Audi A4 roof. Either that or there be eagles in these parts.

    Thank goodness for heavy rain. That's all I'm saying.

    Bloomin' nature.
