This is the Journal of Edward the Bonobo - Gone. << United We Swim! How the hell did that happen? >> Subject: Wildlife Posted Sep 6, 2009 by Edward the Bonobo - Gone.   Posting 1 We had a lovely afternoon at the National Museum of Rural Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Rural_Life), where we often take my father-in-law for lunch. It's only about 1.5 mi down the road. They had an amazing touring Wildlife Photography exhibition. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats...ry-exhibitions/wpy/onlineGallery.do Absolutely stunning! Have a look at the '10 years and under' category. http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats...wpy/category.do?category=19&group=2 My favourites? In approximately reverse order: 3.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 8 No, never listened to that - off to download now - should make for good snooze preparation. I find I tend to drift off with something on in the background. I think it's the act of concentrating or imagining that does it. Anyway early night for this ostrich, off to college tomorrow for induction into applied science and forensics.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 9 I might be able to smuggle in a digital reorder if you ask nicely. Can guarantee much on the quality though,but it should be audible enough. I did some at the BHA conference - which I've just discovered mediafire have deleted the hosting for - so never mind that.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 10 Oh...I wouldn't have thought smuggling was necessary. These days such events tend to have a Grateful Dead attitude towards recording. I put my university lectures on YT. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Wildlife Posted Sep 6, 2009 by Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic.
