I first blogged about Oolong the rabbit back in 2002. At first Oolong was famous for balancing pancakes on his head but the many photos of his visits to parks and temples in Japan were wonderful and won him a lot of fans around the world. Oolong died a few years ago.

I was recently very happy to stumble upon Fusuke-pon, another adventurous Japanese rabbit. He doesn't balance pancakes but he appears in some lovely photographs, also often in parks and temples.

Hippy

Rosehip syrup has fascinating swirls and colours when stared at after four days with very little sleep, and morning sunlight through the window is cheerful at this time of year. I've combined them and got a few interesting photos.

I have never had a cough/cold like this before. I've coughed so much I've fallen down and seen strange blue lights fill my vision and been convinced something is going to burst. I've been reassured that these are probably man-flu symptoms, and it seems I'm likely to survive. My voice has been mostly gone since Tuesday but has gone through periods of channeling Darth Vader, Johny Cash (the neighbours suffered 'Ring of Fire' interrupted by coughing fits), voiceless zombie and currently late period Bob Dylan.

Anyway, the syrup worked photographically at least.
