Dog of the Week: Jazz
It’s been quiet on the dog-walking front recently, partly through pressure of work, and partly because I’d been working with dogs y’all had seen before. Today, though, I was determined to get up to BCDH, and we walked a very, very sweet Rottweiler called Jazz. She goes proper batshit-crazy when there are other dogs around, but once she’s out and walking, she’s one of the most good-natured mutts you’d ever meet. I mean, look!
Win: Wonders of the Solar System on Blu-ray
12 April 2010 @ 13:04 in Life
Today marks the release
on DVD and Blu-ray of the BBC’s superb astronomy
series, Wonders of the Solar System. It’s
superb not just because it’s beautifully shot,
edited and directed, but because of its
presenter, Professor Brian Cox. That he can
make science relevant, accessible and even a bit
rock and roll is unquestionably a good thing;
society needs more role models like this for the
sciences if we’re to engage the next generation.
So thoroughly delighted with Wonders am I, and so keen to share it with everyone, that I’m giving a copy of it away. To enter, all you have to do is retweet my tweet about the competition; there’s no cost to entering, anyone can enter worldwide, and I’ll pick the winner at random. I plan to give away a copy of the Blu-ray from Amazon.co.uk – it’s not clear if it’s region-coded, but it’s probably safer to assume it’s region B – but if the winner would prefer the DVD edition, they can request that.
I’ll pick a winner at 9am on Wednesday 14 April 2010.
