I took this while preparing for a local move. Hannah has been enjoying the stacks of boxes.

Anna's triumph (cont)! She had finished doing back flips, side flips and remarkable split jumps which are in this album. What can I say? She's absolutely real, and I hope you feel her genuine spirit in her portraits too.

Field Trip - Hexton Chalk Pit - 10/06/17
On Saturday night I went to Hexton Chalk Pit and was joined by Roger and Trevor.
The day had been lovely and warm and with plenty of cloud cover the temperature would hopefully hold up, we just needed the wind to drop a bit which unfortunately didn't happen, in fact it got a bit worse at times with some pretty hefty gusts.
With the high winds a factor we had to position the traps out of the wind as much as possible, running 5 traps in total and with the warm conditions I was confident.
A total of 143 species were recorded by the end of the night at just before 3am, a great total and well worth staying late, and luckily we had decided to pack up as it started to drizzle.
Some cracking moths were to be seen including 3 Ruddy Carpet, 1 Netted Pug, lots of Pretty Chalk Carpet, Wood Carpet, Satyr Pug and Royal Mantle and 10 Elephant Hawk-moths!
Of note on the Micro front were the rare Pyralid Paratalanta hyalinalis, Hypochalcia ahenella, Acompsia cinerella and a County second record of Ethmia dodecea, the latter two species completely new for me.
With still a few to check including a possible Cydia microgrammana (Which would be new for the County if correct and an Elachista sp)
What a night and thanks guys for staying until the end to help pack up.

My lovely wife, Christy, recently gave me the opportunity to practice some portrait work because she wanted a decent profile photo for Facebook.
This was my favorite of the set.
I love how her eyes pop in this one.

Estou num momento Passe Nati (rs rs rs). Passei a base, duas camadas do Confidente da Passe Nati e uma do "roxinho" da Colorama. Agora uma curiosidade, sem o TC a cor puxa para o vinho (muito bonito), quando passei o TC ficou um vermelhão vivo lindão. Na foto não se percebe a diferença. Tirei essas com a luz natural e todas estão com TC.
go confidently in the direction of your dreams! live the life you have imagined.

Crocuses were springing as I left for Paris. Prof was quietly confident - all I had to do, he said, was to enlarge my MA thesis. And in English, to boot! Couldn't be easier. Hah! Remembering the problem I'd had with filling my free time on my trip to Paris six months before, this time I took a book with me that I reckoned would be a challenge to read, even in English: Pasternak's Dr Zhivago. O fateful decision! The heady mix of love, revolution and poetic prose pierced my heart and lifted my soul out of the mundane.
These sensations were exaggerated by being in Paris in the spring. With blossoms on every tree, and the city coming to life in a way that's unique to Paris in the spring, I went around in a daze. I saw metaphor in everything; nothing appeared to me as what it really was, but always a poetic stage removed, as if Pasternak had given me the prism of his poetic genius for me to view the world through.
Reality had changed, and that included me. My reality had been that I was an academic, but not in Paris that spring, not reading Dr Zhivago. Through Pasternak's prism I was an actor, a singer, a writer, a producer, an impresario. Certainly not an academic, learning stuff for its own sake.
I wrote a letter to Prof. I had to tell him who I *really* was behind the reality that circumstance (and he) had created. I wrote 50 sides of A4 lined paper. His reaction was interesting. He could see my point but told me I had no choice, for I was trapped in the academic cycle - I was fated, if you like, to get my PhD and become a university lecturer. Everything else was a pipe dream. And with me being more than half way through three years of postgraduate studies, he was right to feel pretty sure of himself. Wasn’t he?
