Article and references/links to Bog Body info
Yes, I know, macabre, but bog bodies generally aren't buried in their sunday best, so the clothing is somewhat more indicative and better preserved (depending on the substances).

Good weekend. Successful op-shopping - yay to skivies, wool jerseys and Z trousers. Printed out trebuchet stuff on card, but was having more fun sewing. Besides, after the documentaries seen and the general mood engendered, didn't quite feel like making large scale weapons. Next weekend.

I'll probably be glared at by the Kiwis if I mention that it is 26 degrees out, warm and clear, with a light wind and the forecast is for such weather until Fri. 27 degrees forecast as the high then, but that evening a southerly comes though and the high for Sat is 16 degrees. Still not on the same scale as the NZ weather over the weekend. But it would pack it in on Sat...

Be careful of what you think you see in the camera. What looked like a bright flash of light, 2 planes colliding and a pilot ejecting turned out to be (upon checking exactly where the photo was taken) a cunningly positioned spider web, dandilion and 2 dead grasshoppers. Occasionally I am quite glad I'm not involved too much in the public liason/question answering side of things.

Seminar now.
