Too many obvious puns

Not only did BBC4 show 'Lost in La Mancha' last week, but Channel 4 is now showing a "major new drama series" called 'Lost'. How nice of these national broadcasting organisations to support this blog. I could only reciprocate by watching, despite the nauseatingly pretentious trailers. Politeness dictated that I even turn over to E4, now that it's available to us Freeview viewers, to watch the third episode immediately after the first two. But that's as far as politeness goes.

Far more interesting was this encounter between a wasp and a cross orb-weaver spider in our garden yesterday evening. (Don't click on this link if you're arachnophobic.) I've never seen a spider wrap up its prey before, and for the sake of forcing a link to the current theme of the blog, you could safely say that the wasp lost. The image is too blurred to enlarge any more, which is a shame, since all trace of the wasp had disappeared by this morning, so I can't recapture the sight. I'll just have to wait till it happens again.
