Did quite well in the pub quiz, and came a very respectable fourth out of, I think, 12 tables. Would have been joint third, only I scratched out one of my answers in the last round -- the question was "What does the word Ovine refer to?" I put down sheep, but then stupidly changed it to cows. Sheep turned out to be the right answer -- doh!!!! But I was pleased with myself overall, especially when I got a couple of beauties right! First, I answered correctly that an "oologist" is someone with an interest in eggs!! Then, when asked to state what vegetable is mentioned in the proverb, "You can't butter a ------- with kind words," I put down parsnips. Everyone at the table thought I was mad (to be honest, I did too!), but it was RIGHT!!!!! Heh-heh -- it's always the crazy long-shots which are the most enjoyable when they pay off!!!!!!!

Spent today adding stuff to my web site -- new photos, mainly. Also answered an interview for the Sunday Herald (a Scottish newspaper) by e-mail, and had a lot of other e-mails to get through. Went to see "Wallace and Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" in the evening. Very enjoyable, with a great eye for the small details. My favourite incidentals were the "Rare Bit" shop and when Wallace covered his nude body with a box that said "May contain nuts"!!!!! Have to say, though, I think the short films worked better -- this felt a bit stretched in places. Definitely better than most kid's movies, but they could probably have done it twice as well at half the running time ...
