Big Garden Birdwatch 30-31st January. I encourage all you Brits to participate this year – with the very cold weather we had, the numbers will be especially needed. It only takes an hour and there’s a handy dandy form to help you tick off the birds you see. I’m short on chaffinches this year, haven’t see one – but I have long tailed tits, they’ve been back again today, so that sort of makes up for it. Almost.

Has the official pronunciation of Don Quixote changed in recent years – did I miss it? I’ve heard two people say Don Quick-sote recently, including Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge – so I’m just wondering… Anyone know?

My post on Jessewave’s Blog yesterday was about the Titles of books, and what makes them appealing/unoriginal or otherwise. Do pop along and add your tuppence worth.
