Inveterate dabbler in business, travel, gadgets & life
Whilst walking in Mill Road Cemetery today with Tony we spied this bat flying around in broad daylight.
Hope this doesn’t mean that UK bats have got the dreaded lurgy that is killing all the bats in the USA one of the symptoms being reported was “Within a month, people in the area were calling in with reports of bats flying outside in the middle of the day.”
Many thanks to Sally for buying me the super zoom Olympus SP-560UZ for Christmas 🙂
Whilst at the planning office in the Guildhall today I couldn’t help but snap this view, about the only view in Cambridge not spoilt by modern developments. Ironically its the view the planners get on their way to work, if they use the stairs 🙂
So this is what we pay our MP’s to do:-

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I am having some difficulty understanding how motion No. 1 on today’s Order Paper can be in order. It appears to have been made under Standing Order 15(2)(b), in so far as it is a motion to be moved by a Minister of the Crown
“to the effect that any specified business may be proceeded with at this day’s sitting…until a specified hour”—
namely 10 o’clock. Since motion No. 1 is such a motion, whether it says so or not, it should be taken not now, but at 10 o’clock. However, if it were taken at 10 o’clock, it would have no effect, because it would be too late. Therefore, in my view the motion seems to be out of order.
Taken from the excellent site They Work for You.
Philip kindly invited Sally, Doug, Adrian and myself to the pre-match lunch at CRUFC. Todays match was towards the EDF National Trophy , Cambridge played Rotherham (Top of National League 1). A very exciting game with Cambridge only losing by one point 🙁
It was the first outing for my Olympus SP-560UZ with its new 2GB memory card. I ended up taking well over 60 pictures, most at its maximum X16 optical zoom – with no tripod. My match favourite was this throw in:-
Although number 15 (Charlie Spon-Smith) didn’t seem to be striking a stereotypical rugby pose…
I uploaded all the pictures to my new favourite upload site, Picasa (well 1GB space for free!) although the cool flash player seems to have disappeared. So you will have to click on the CRUFC picture below to see all the match shots.

A great day out the place was packed – over 200 for lunch yet again. So many thanks Philip!
Addendum: From Rotherhams site – I found 4 of their players it was their first outing, 5 of the players had played in more than 12 of their 18 games this year, remainder had played in 4 to 7 games.
