HI folks. I was working at a concert by the The Proclaimers last night. It's a good feeling being at a Proclaimers concert in Scotland. (maybe it is a good feeling to be at one of their concerts anywhere, I dunno). Some of their songs were big hits in many countries, but in Scotland the Proclaimers songs have almost become a part of the national consciousness in the twenty years since they first came to prominence.

Anyway I just stumbled upon the following in youtube which I thought was really cute and wanted to post. It is a really cute Hatsune Miku recreation of  the (I'm gonna be) 500 Miles  song, with the lyrics altered very slightly to allow the singer to be a woman singing to her man.

Ok, I finally managed to send this photo from my phone to my computer, (via my email).

Well  folks I was in the garden at my parents house the other day and I saw this beautiful butterfly sitting on a rock and as I had my phone in my pocket I thought I would try to get a photo of it. So I carefully snuck towards it to get myself in postion to take the photo....and the b***dy thing flew off before I was ready!!

Not to worry I saw him again a minute later sitting on the grass so again off I went, carefully as I could. Again he flew off!!!

 Next time I saw him, instead of carefully sneaking up to take a photo I considered running up and stamping on the annyoing f****r for not staying still, but I managed to hold back my worse instincts, moved towards him slowly, held my camera a few inches away from him and got this photo. Then I thought well since I haven't blogged nearly enough on here I should post it up in my page here. And I was reminded of a favourite song of mine called "Cousin Caterpillar", which is a humorous song about a caterpillar trundling along without a care in the world about the enormous change which it is going to go through, (it will become a butterfly); the song mourns the fact that we cannot take such changes so easily. The beauty of the final result, the butterfly...able to fly around, should teach us not to be so frightened of change!!

Anyway, here's a URL to listen to the song, (and you can look at my photo of the butterfly at the same time)
