February 26, 2011



Beers for the weekend are Guinness Stout and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Straight and mixed.



Not crowded and not much available. But, Spring is coming soon.



American pussy willow (Salix discolor), native to northern North America. Pussy Willows are a classic harbinger of spring, opening well before the crocuses and snowdrops.



George with a bird on his head.



Bonk, a book about sex research by science writer Mary Roach was fascinating and hilarious. A great line: “My favourite sentence in the entire oeuvre of Alfred Kinsey, from Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female: “Cheese crumbs spread in front of a copulating pair of rats may distract the female, but not the male”.”
