Today's knitting blitz was accomplished while watching Open All Hours for the first time ... what a wonderful series! And such fun seeing Sir David Jason as a young man with a mop of curly hair and so baby-faced, even in his mid-thirties, that one really feels he should be garbed in a velvet sailor suit.
Also squeezed in some very interesting reading recently: Turner and Antón's Evolving Eden : an Illustrated Guide to the Evolution of the African Large Mammal Fauna is one of those rarities that's a joy to discover ... a scholarly book that is also pleasantly readable. And 'twas fascinating to get away from North American/European-centric palaeontology and read a book that ignores the usual done-to-death mammoths, cave bears and ground sloths, and focuses entirely on what evolved on a very different continent.
