These chicks, the ones which aren’t ground to death because they are males, end up in battery cages laying your eggs. Please buy free-range, organic, small scale produced eggs.

Seal Calls – Encounters At The End Of The World
This is a great film, a documentary by Werner Herzog about the people living in Antarctica – scientists, dropouts, whoever. I’d never heard the incredible sound of seals before. They sound like a 70s sci-fi movie…

Weekend Walk No. 6 – Bishop's Sutton & Bighton
Yes, Bighton not Brighton, near Alresford in Hampshire. I started out at the church at Bishop’s Sutton, headed north through wheat fields to the village of Bighton, with it’s Norman church and cottages, then back through Sutton wood, over the Watercress Line railway, to the start. Light summer rain the whole way through.

Weekend Walk No. 4 – Manor Farm Country Park
Yesterday, Saturday, I took the Vespa down to near Bursledon to continue the walk along the river Hamble. Last time I’d left it at Bursledon, headed north. This took me to the Manor Farm Country Park, a wooded spot next to the river. It also has a working museum farm. The chapel was very sweet, and contained an old hearse. It was in such a quiet place, very peaceful, despite the bank holiday weekenders at the farm nearby. The Hamble was graceful and quiet too, with woods along its banks. Lots of people with dogs. Here’s the video.
What is it one feels like doing?
Here’s a video I put together from images online to accompany a recording of Krishnamurti at Brockwood in 1969. Of course it’s an unofficial video, not part of my work to preserve the archive authentic works. But I wanted to experiment with a new format, and use audio that probably hasn’t been heard as often as the public talks.
Flight of the Conchords – Season 2
Whilst the songs are more hastily put together than the crafted-over-years gems in Season 1, there are still some great moments in the second series, and the comedy is just as low-life-funny. This clip from episode 10 – waking up, Stomp style.
Broccoli is feet-wobblingly good!
Twin Peaks
I’ve been watching the first season of Twin Peaks, for the first time since the intial run in the early 1990s. What a treat it is. A steady pace, long takes, interesting characters and a unique atmosphere. The Lynch touch running through the visuals, sound effects and direction. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend a download. Here are some of my favourite scenes so far, all involving Agent Cooper:
Darwin's Struggle
Whilst watching and enjoying Darwin’s Struggle on BBC4 this evening, I noticed the unusual imagery surrounding characters from the story. I spliced these segments together and added a suitable soundtrack by Biosphere:
Vampire Weekend – M79
I really like this band. Here’s a refreshingly straightforward version of M79. Great.
Hours of Fun!
Netley, Hamble, Bursledon Walk
Yesterday’s walk from Netley, through the haunted grounds of Royal Victoria Park, along the coast and across the common to Hamble, across to the east bank and up to Lower Swanwick and Bursledon.
I wanted to see the old asylum which still remains in the park but is surrounded by a long high wall and is now used for police training. Later I found myself trying to work out where the boatyard was from Howard’s Way from the 80s. The series was made in the Hamble valley.

Twford River Itchen Walk
I want to start making a few videos of my excursions into nature. The idea came during the walk from Southampton a couple of weeks ago. I was going to wait until I had a video camera but thought I’d just start with my normal camera in movie mode. The big problem with that is the audio doesn’t come out so well.
