Has the mystery of the lowered level of water at Queens Park been solved? I notice workmen are repairing the pavement edge that used to meet the water. To be honest, it did need working on, having collapsed in places, but I found it interesting to notice signs of a previous brick lined edge the current pavement was built on top of.

That would mean the lake is usually higher than it was when the lake was first created. Not world shaking shaking news, but hey, do you really want another description of birds floating on the lake? Or do you?

For Those Who Like Birds

Business as usual. The seabirds are ganging up on individual ducks and generally bullying everything that's not bigger than they are. The geese have settled in after ther holiday away from the lake, and the swans are, well, doing swannish things, like floating past regally as swans do.

There. That about covers it.

Pic of the Day

Our weather has turned for the worse just of late. Caught this pic after the rain had stopped a couple of nights ago.

Supercars Galore

What with the Paris Motor Show and what have you, the latest supercars are displayed in websites everywhere. Some of them do look rather wonderful don't they? Okay, not everyones private parts are stirred by mobile masterpieces, and if I were being honest, supercars aren't always the prettiest vehicles ever made.

Is it just me or are there more supercars than ever? Lotus have introduced six new models for crying out loud, one for every niche market they can possibly think of. So what happened to the fuel crisis? Manufacturers seem to want to go out with a bang.

There is one manufacturer that has gotten serious about hybrids. Okay, I know Citreon made a big deal of some concept cars, and very striking vehicles they are too, but you can't plop a wad of cash on a counter at your local dealer and buy one can you? Jaguar on the other hand want to have their electrified, and quite electrifying, supercar for sale. Now there is a serious golf cart.
