Look at this! (Some of these adaptations for animation are so clever.)




Look at this!
Some of these adaptations for animation are so clever.

The advancement of this type of animation is coming on in leaps and bounds. The art of using models or some form of plasticine for animated presentation is splendid. The trend became popular in the UK with Wallace and Gromit etc. In this teaser above, there are further developments concerning movement. It all makes for some fabulous ideas. Also, look at how they get around the moving mouth for speech.

The Duran - A splendid conservative news-media platform.


On YouTube, I like to watch and listen to a conservative news-media platform called The Duran. This news outlet covers news events with up to the moment analyse of current affairs. They allow for near future speculation or consequences deriving from today's current affairs. 

Because I'm a Brit, the big thing with me is the twists and turns of Brexit. These guys, on The Duran, always seem to have a finger on the pulse. 

It is an interesting news-media presentation with questions and precise well-worded answers. The interviewer gives the guest time to talk about all sorts of angles. He does not interrupt and lets the guest get points of view across. This makes for good listening.

I've subscribed to the YouTube channel purely because of the many Brexit chats that are occurring. Obviously, with Theresa May's political downfall yesterday, (Friday 24th May) - I was hoping for some form of news-media debate about the subject. I was not disappointed. 

If you would like a splendid conservative news-media analysis, I would strongly recommend giving The Duran a try. 


The Fenland Garden in March, Cambridgeshire, England - UK.


The flowers are beginning to bloom now. Lots of little delights. The wife is in her element because she loves the garden. The fish are multiplying. The various breeds of birds are coming to the feed tables. With this comes the Sparrow Hawk who seems to know that birds tables mean Sparrows or other types of small birds to eat. 

Wicked aspects of nature when we see fledgelings emerge and fall victim to the Sparrow Hawk. The bees are out too. A usual thing when flowers bloom. It is all very tranquil in some ways. Also cruel from the predator and prey point of view. But then nature must take its course.



Today is going to be a splendid day. I just know it. The sun is out and old retro aircraft are flying over from the Duxford air show. All kindly things for a relaxing afternoon.

Holkham Beach - Norfolk - England.


Carole and I took three of the Grandchildren out to Hunstanton in Norfolk yesterday. It was a very nice time. The kids had a good little runaround. We stopped later at Holkham beach and walked across the sand dunes. Lots of Oyster Catcher birds nesting.

Afterwards, we went to Wells Next the Sea and to the ice cream parlour. Got some seafood and made our way home to the Fenlands. A very pleasant day as the sun was out. It only started raining when we began our journey home.
