    • Grrlscientist Has an Orgasm

      (can you work out where exactly in Helsinki this photo was taken?)

      Some people can easily be pleased – the right birds just have to fly past and they get all excited.

      These are Bohemian waxwings1. They are currently flapping around the Nordic countries in large flocks terrorising berry bushes and exciting foreign birders. It feels a bit like The Birds, only with the menace replaced by high-pitched trill.

      Later we went to the Lutheran Cathedral, and saw this rather nice angel behind the main alter (sorry about the quality):


      Not Grrlscientist, yesterday

      This may be a partial explanation for why some people’s guardian angels aren’t effective. I wonder what she’s reading, though.

      1 You never knew they were so cultured, did you?

          Yep, that’s it Marylka. Assuming you weren’t suggesting what the angel was reading.
