Butterfly

Just for the record saw my first butterfly of the year today. I don't know what type only that it was large and had orange and black on it and appeared to have double wings.

I wounded just how many more butterflies I will see this year as last year was not so good for seeing them, I suppose seeing a butterfly in Feb is early.

Website

As you know I have a website or two on the Internet and its sad to say that for some unknown reason I just don't feel like updating them at this time. I don't know why it is as there has been a lot of time and effort put into them over the years.

I have lots to do on them to bring them right up today's standards and also update the contents, but for some reason I just can't be bothered to update them, it would not take too long to do the update perhaps some five or six hours in total, and because of the way the websites are built it can all be done in bits and pieces.

So why?

I don't have an answer

Warm

Well today if what the weather men have said is correct it's going to be warm, they say that it could get up to 16 centigrade, which if true will be more the ten centigrade warmer than normal for this time of year.

So it will be interesting to see if it happens just as the weatherman say it will.

Sunrise

So today there was a great sunrise, lots of yellow and red sky, I suppose this means that we are due some rain soon, which is something we have not had in a while here.

Filters

How come the paper coffee filter always seems to move so that I get bits in my coffee, why is it?

All I know is that it can make for an interesting cuppa if you are not expecting bits when drinking your coffee.

Warm

According to the weather people it's going to get to 14 centigrade either today or tomorrow, this is something that I find hard to believe, but if it happens great as I like the idea offspring is just around the corner so to speak.

No blogs

Funny earlier in the year I had lots that I wanted to say on my blog, but problems with BlogPress stopped me from doing that. Now that BlogPress has been fixed I find that I just don't want to or don't have anything to say....strange that.

Nokia N8

This is my current phone and just for the record I am on O2. Earlier this week Nokia release a nice, or so I am told up date to the N8. I don't know what it's like as O2 for some unknown reason have not let us have it yet, even though the rest of the world have it, and from what I have read it appears to be working well.

Why are O2 so slow?

Do they care about there customers?

They have not even thought to let us customers know when they are going to let us have the update.

As you start to read the blogs and comments on the net about this, I have realised that there are some very angry people out there and that O2 have not done themselves any favours.

It also turns out that they are already selling N8's with the update already installed, so on the face of it it would appear being an existing customer is being a second class citizen.

I suppose that in the fullness of time we will find out why the delay and also get to enjoy the update.

BlogPress

Finally BlogPress have released an update, or is it rather apple have allowed the update out?

Not sure which one it is, the main thing is that the fault what ever it was has been sorted and I now for a while until the next update have a working blogging programme yeah!

It's just nice to be able to blog when and where I want to.

Blogpress

Blogpress updates itself to a new and improved version, so that's why I cant upload blogs to my blog, if that makes any sense.

Bad News

So I have had some bad news today, news that from one way of looking at it should have been 20 or even as little as 4 years ago.

But for the fact that the UK health service does have some very clever and caring people my Mother would have died 4 years ago.

Now in the grand scheme of things, e.g who ever writes this script called life we get the news that she now has a fast growing tumor in her airway that is inoperable.

The even evil bit is she gets this news 10 years to the day we buried my father, so someone somewhere does have a very sick sense of humor.

Hearing the news form my sister who was wither her I don't know how to feel about it, as in one sense it was always going to happen some time, just I don't want to hear it now.

My Mother on being told this news is reported to have remarked "What a shiter"! which I suppose does rather sum it all up.

As the lady has always lived her life how she wants to, it comes as now surprise that she has already started to put her life affairs in order and has already stated that she wants an eco burial, and is going to look at where she wishes to be buried...

I have told her since hearing the news that I love her and she replied that she loved me and that she would talk to me until the end, for reasons that I will not put in here, I shall only talk to her.

I can't face seeing her face to face as she declines, as I want to remember her as she was fit and fighting, she has said that she understands this, for which I am happy for her support.

So how long has my Mother got?

She says anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 Months but thinks from what the consultant said 8 weeks is probably very optimistic.

So I shall talk to my Mother until its time and tell her that I love her.

Moon

Last night it was a very clear night and so I was surprised just how great the moon looked its at what I think is one of the more interesting phases, in that it's a crescent or wane Moon.

What I like about this phase is that the unlit side of the Moon sort of glows in Earthshine and you can see it but not see it.

Not very far from the Moon in the sky was a really bright star, which when I used an app on the iPad showed me I was looking at a very bright Venus, the app also pointed out where Uranus is but as where I live is rather well light up at night I have no chance of seeing it and also I reckon you need a telescope to see it.
