Gordie (the black one), doesn't really know what he's doing. He just follows along with Rocky (the wiener).
I haven't seen too many of these pretty black swallowtails this year.
I caught this one on one of my petunias in my garden up home.
My mom is never happier than when taking seventy thousand pictures of me. Inevitably, half of them have me with a "take the #$%^ picture already" expression on my face.
(I made the scarf. I'd take another picture of it, but I can't find the scarf. I fear it may be lost. Aargh. I made it while I was taking gross anatomy. The whole damn summer. Knit knit knit knit.)

There are huge piles of snow in front of our house. We've been digging some snow tunnels to those with my sons.
I finished up the trench on day 2, after another half hour of digging. I was still sick, and fat, so I was soaked with sweat by the end, and felt like puking. I had to take a shower, and spend 40 minutes relaxing, so I could feel normal again. I think I need to figure out an exercise regimen, and also get better. This was my 20th day of being ill with the flu, though I was very nearly better by this point.
Essential Travel Only - Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin March 2021
“Take one day, rest a while, and pretend the world is just for you"
“They could do with a bench here” - Lewis Greifer
Sometimes I do things I don't fully understand. Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin remains top of the list.
Sat at a table at Thurrock Services some years ago, sometime around 5am, Gimpo couldnt work out how many years and how many M25 25 Hour spins he had done, or planned to do. I sat and listened as Tim told him to count on his fingers: 1997 was Spin year #1. Spin year #25 would be 2021. Gimpo looked utterly confused by it all.
The plan this year was to plant a bench to mark 25 years of Gimpo's M25 25 Hour Spin. “Benches are about functionality: they need to be used. Unlike a gravestone, a bench shows that somehow you’re still part of the world, you have a purpose and a function.”
But this year, like last, was a global pandemic and respect had to be shown to anyone who may have lost friends, family and loved ones. We all masked up and met outside on the tarmac in the main carpark at Thurrock Services, between J30 and J31 off the M25.
This year was assembled under the guidelines of "Essential travel, for work purposes only." There will be more spins in future to make up for lost time, but for now, the memorial bench had to be planted. On the M25 Gimpo is the artist, and he had decided the bench was going in by any means necessary, safety first, of course.
Gimpo was very excited about his new Van, it was leaking water but other than that it was in good shape. It was a classic Ford Transit panel van which he had bought online a few days ago from someone in Worcester.
