Badger,Badger,Badger,Badger!

Weekends can be murder, well this one was, we held a murder mystery party on Saturday night, 6 guests, Caz and me, sat down to dinner in a collection of strange costumes, try to look like we were in a 1900s Paris hotel. I wore a dinner jacket and bow tie and was by far the smartest (and hottest) person there, but was well beaten in the costume stakes by most of them. All of this taking place on the warmest night of the year so far. The whole night was great fun and I would recommend having ago if you can find enough people willing to get into the sprit of things. That’s all for today, but tomorrow I will give you an insight in to the effects that being blog of note have had on my little piece of the internet. The picture is of Sandra and Caz in full costume and character, I’ve given the image (or tried to) a turn of the last century feel, I hope.

Not only a superb photographer, but great taste in music. I hope someday to be as good as this. But for now I'll have to settle for this: http://picasaweb.google.com/mikehilary.beckwith/BestOfPhotography

Thanks for the inspiration

I did a murder mystery dinner in college and snagged "Best Performance of the Night," as Ronald Trump. That's right, Ronald, not Donald.

Anyhow... they are a blast... and I think the only reason I got "Best Performance" was because I was dressed in drag, with a killer wig and kept saying "You're fired!" in a horrible accent.

My wife & I have always said we'd go on a murder mystery weekend. I'd forgotten that we'd talked abou it - must look into it again.
Thanks for prompting me!

As for your music; loking at your blogs, i must say you have an excellent taste.

This may be a bit weird but every time I hear claire de lune, i think of watching the '70's group Styx who used it in a prelude to a song they did called Ballerina. Funny how just a few notes on a piano can send you back to a happy place - even if it's not entirely related to the original music!!

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
