I just hope we're watching that film of seals in real time.
Seals sleep underater with a kind of auto-pilot.
Every twenty minutes, an automatic reflex brings these sleeping seals to the surface for air. Their brain acts like a biological autopilot, allowing them to breathe and sink back down without ever waking up.
This aquarium time lapse shows this behavior.

Rowan Atkinson barely says a word, yet somehow ends up being the funniest person in the room.
The two hosts spend the introduction congratulating Reverend Sebastian on a speech they've practically delivered themselves. Every joke gets explained, every clever point gets revealed, and they even manage to spoil the ending while insisting they wouldn't dream of spoiling it.
What makes this brilliant is the contrast. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are completely comfortable with their own performance, while Rowan Atkinson's silence says everything.
Sometimes the best comedy isn't what someone says. It's what they're forced to sit through.
The Goodies was very innovative for its time.
They came out of the same creative cohort who gave us "Monty Python" and "Not Only but also".
However, the Goodies was much more referential to classic slap-stick and physical comedy.

Ah.....thanks instructions.....I didn't realise.
Also, you know that paracetamol-based pain killer in a bottle for children under 5 years old?
The bottle we have instructs the toddlers not to operate heavy machinery after taking it. 😳

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
They stretched in never-ending line

Hi everyone,
Today's quote comes from English writer & author of "The Compleat Angler" Izaak Walton.
(My son was a history custodian in his house in Shallowford, England for 2 years).
Sometimes, it doesn't hurt to reflect on the ways we've been lucky. 🙂
