My blue butterfly tattoo

I spend most of my online time at the BBC's h2g2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/ where I have written over 20 factual articles as part of h2g2's Edited Guide. (The above link is in my skin preference. The default skin for the site is Brunel <spit> you'll need your sunglasses for the default skin). 

 Another place I spend a lot of time is playing squelchies at pogo games. I'm currently on rank 49 out of 50.

I've been unemployed since September 05 when I was replaced by two vending machines in the coffee bar I used to work in.    

 A few days a week I work in a charity shop, as the youngest (46) I'm the baby there. Some of the ladies who work there are in their 80s, they're a great bunch.

        My favourite childhood poem  -                                      Mice

I think mice 

Are rather nice. 

 Their tails are long,

Their faces small,

They haven't any chins at all.

Their ears are pink,

Their teeth are white,

They run about the house at night.

They nibble things

They shouldn't touch

And no one seems to like them much.

But I think mice are nice.

My fish pond. In 2005 we noticed six fry, (baby fish) of those five survived through to 2006 and are rapidly growing.
