I found out two interesting things this weekend.

1. Contrary to my previous belief, I don't hate all Jack Russell terriers. I met a nice one, that doubled as a snuffly hot water bottle, snoring on my lap as I alternately dozed and ranted at The Boat That Rocked in front of a raging bonfire last night in the forest.
2. Rutting Sika deer make an unholy lupine keening, which is apt to scare the pants off the unwary when they start wailing in close proximity at dead of night.

Unsurprisingly, I was inspired to draw a somewhat cervine beetle today.

Lucanus atropos

Tomorrow I'll finish the last paragraph of my trefoils chapter, fix the layout, insert the figures and submit it for corrections. Then I'll start Chapter 3: Stem Cell Markers in Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines. Yes.

It turns out that one of Radio Caroline's boats, Mi Amiga did run aground in a heavy storm, and sink. No Titanic scenes, and no ministers being woken up, someone simply radioed for a lifeboat. This happened in 1980 though, years after Radio One had launched, whereas The Boat that Rocked is set in the 1960s just before Radio One was created. As J suggested, the Caroline boats from the 1960s were unceremoniously sold for scrap.

Hopefully the Forest recharged your batteries and you'll make good progress on Chapter 3 next week.

“There's never been a classic movie made in Bruges until now.” I had to check IMDB, but it's true.
