A crest bearing the legend The H2G2 PostA crest bearing the legend The H2G2 Post


Posted: 5th February 2024

This week's title is Sight and Sound. Clockwise from upper left: A retro 50s cafe with a jukebox, a snowy scene reflected in a large picture window, the moon and Jupiter by night, a woodpigeon on a snowy roof, a lighthouse on a beach, a great tit on the rim of a snow-covered bucket, and a juvenile cardinal in a snowy bush.

It's cold. There is intermittent snow. But hey, there are birds. Also stories to read and enjoy. Cheer up, h2g2! Life has loveliness to sell, as Sara Teasdale reminded us.

What have you seen? Remember to share it with the rest of us. Just point your phone and dump the results in an email.

This week, our topic (besides birds) is snow. White flakes fell on practically everybody. Not Willem: he's been out and about and promises reports in the near future. In the meantime, have an owl. But the snow! Snow in England, snow in Scotland, snow in Pennsylvania, which isn't new. Enjoy the views.

STOP PRESS NEWS!!!

Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow. Spring will be early this year. (From your furry face to the snow god's ear, Phil.)

People of Punxsutawney: It's safe to come out now. The tourists have gone.


Read the stories: you'll laugh. You'll worry. You'll be amazed. You'll be scared and puzzled and possibly enlightened. You won't be bored. Learn about sculling and space colonisation. Read about Jack the Ripper and find out where Nebraska isn't. And see what else I've managed to do to delay my story. (I'm a dilatory narrator.)

February is here. It won't stay long. Tell us about your snow thoughts. Get a chuckle out of our humour. Read about an uplifting movie. Have a good week and don't forget your scarf and gloves.
