Another Bank Holiday and time for another day out somewhere, so I decided to revisit a fairly locasl zoo (Bristol) as I’ve not been there in almost 10 years and I have vague memories of them having an underwater bit where you can watch penguins and seals swimming, which was real cool!
I may be getting closer to the big 40, but my memory is still working, the underwater bit is still there…

Sphere: Related ContentThe old desktop wallpaper can get a bit boring after a while.
There are some neat tools that will allow you to rotate through random images for your wallpaper, but I’ve found something that I find even better - Deskmates.
These are little animated characters, ranging from sexy cartoon girls to a blue gorilla called TeeCee. There’s even a fat beer swilling cartoon bloke and cute little Koala bear.
Each one has hundreds of different animation sequences to keep them fressh and fun for ages.
You can even click on them to make them do different things.

Sphere: Related ContentI’m normally a big fan of ebay, I’ve picked up some real bargains there, as well as selling off some stuff I wasn’t using anymore, including my last car.
But I’ve recently had a couple of bum deals…
The first was two 8GB (allegedly) Data “thumb” drives ordered from Hong Kong that turned out to be duff as they wouldn’t hold more than a GB of data before losing or corrupting it. I managed to get a refund for those, so I’m not too peeved, but…

Sphere: Related ContentWell it was a reasonably sunny Sunday today, so we decided to get some “culture” and visit Blenheim Palace.
The rain managed to hold off for the day, so it was fairly enjoyable, but we almost turned away at the entrance when we discovered the entrance fee was £16 (~$32USD) each!
Having tea and scones after a couple of hours walking around was also a bit of a wallet emptying experience…
