Now today I learned that there were 2 metre long, 200 kg otters in what became the Rift valley during the Pliocene. THAT would have been a surprise!

I think you’re right. I mis-remembered what I was reading last week about a common ancestor. (Also this book (Robert Bakker’s The Dinosaur Heresies) is now 40 years old. Great pictures tho.)

How have I spent my day you ask? I learned that Magenta from the Rocky Horror Picture Show (played by Patricia Quinn) was also Sylvia Pouncer in The Box of Delights; the wife of the school master in the sex ed scene in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life; and Livilla in I, Claudius. Plus parts in Dr Who.

I was thinking this morning, while watching my dog sniff things on a walk, of the lines by Sappho: “Some say thronging cavalry, some say foot soldiers, others call a fleet the most beautiful of sights the dark earth offers, but I say it's whatever you love best.”

Lily, who is very fond of cats, and who tripped over while sniffing the trail of one in the garden. Tweaking her back and one toe, and now feeling very sorry for herself for a few days. When she remembers to.

Three pictures that tell a story: the hunt for ‘moar sausinges’. Lily is now an expert at telling me where her dinner (practically speaking tomorrow’s dinner because it’s frozen solid) is to be found.
