Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Doomed

There are times, when I know I am over tired. For example, on the way back from the honeymoon, I found "Herby Fully Loaded" quite emotional, and given I saw it on the way out, any novelty had been had (although to be honest after you've seen any Herbie film...)

Tonight I found myself watching a short 10 minute documentary on the future of mankind. As Sam Neill described the growth of our sun over the last 5 billion years, I felt like a proud parent at a presentation day and felt a tear of pride.

As we turned to look at the future, my pride turned to worry as I learnt that a 5% increase in the sun's temperature will kill all plant life and a 10% would bbq all animal life. My worry then turned to dismay and wibbling, as I learn that in another 5 billion years or so, the sun will increase in temperature, expand, and incinerate our small blue green planet quicker than you can say 'D- Good consistent worker but must control temper.

Only 5 billion years away. Makes you wonder if its worth getting up in the morning.

Ho hum. On a lighter note, I'm nipping out tomorrow to try a new panoramic adapter for my camera, so if it coms out right, there might be some new styles of pics. If its pants, then, erm, I'll get bored and find something else to occupy my time with.
