The Return

Cephalopods and me
Edward Lear, Owls, Pussy-Cats and other nonsense

A new year, a new look and a new post. Now, the chronoligists amongst you may have noticed it is a year and a day since I last 'blogged'. Although I can hear you making instant comparisons to Edward Lear's owl and pussy-cat sailing away for a year and a day I have, regrettably, to tell you I have not been whisked away on a cruise, a ferry journey or even a hour on the local boating lake. No such luck, I can't even claim to have partaken in the wrinkly equivalent to that strange student phenomenon, the 'gap year'.

The truth of the matter is I've simply had a years gap!

Much as the thought of sailing away for a year and a day on a beautiful pea green boat has a certain amount of appeal, playing gooseberry while Owl strums his guitar and serenades his feline shipmate with the lines “O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are” does not!

But enough of this nonsense, lets talk cephalopods...
