I found a Swift with Goes to Town!
http://www.goestotown.com/exhibits/swift
Swifts spend most of their lives in flight, usually landing only to nest. The Museum's tower has hosted a colony of Swifts for many years and they have been studied since 1948. When the young leave the Museum they may fly continuously for three years, until they return as adults to nest themselves. The eggs hatch around mid-June and both parents feed the chicks, bringing them small balls of food consisting of hundreds of tiny insects held together with saliva. The chicks leave the nest around the beg...

Common furniture beetle (. The book in the display in Oxfam Book Shop shows you the kind of damage the larvae cause as they tunnel their way through pages, nibbling neat holes in the text and pictures, sometimes with humorous results. Listen to Zoe Simmons Entomologist. Can’t see the player?

Moving house: poetic ode to the Northern Line | Lisa Gets Awesome
https://lisagetsawesome.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/moving-house
Food, I love you. My journey from A to B (Average to Beyonce). Moving house: poetic ode to the Northern Line. Five years you’ve carried me,. And now I say goodbye. Like a rough lover,. You swept me off my feet. Lolita in your lap,. Kisses…not so sweet. Bewildering, breaking,. I have wondered at your length,. I have explored your every zone. By day I feel your rumble,. At night I hear you moan. I wandered through your Woodside Park,. You cupped the Oval of my heart. East Finchley was all air and light,.

The path to vague awesomeness is ill-defined | Lisa Gets Awesome
https://lisagetsawesome.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/the-path-to-vague-awesomeness-is-ill-defined
Food, I love you. My journey from A to B (Average to Beyonce). The path to vague awesomeness is ill-defined. OK Yes. I haven’t written for a while. Am I still trying to get awesome? Yes In my mind. Am I getting more awesome? Not sure. Current state of despondency pollutes vision and wants to say no, but self-conscious conscience is heroically slapping the cheeks and saying “get a grip”. The long and the short is, I’m not sure of what to do next. I feel dissatisfied with my current state and direction.

Food, I love you. My journey from A to B (Average to Beyonce). Defying definition: you will be who you want to be. I am full of the urgent sense that I have wasted a significant portion of my life by adhering slavishly to some self-perpetrated definition of WHO I AM. Where did I get this idea from? This idea that I, a perfectly able-bodied and well-fed human, should somehow be unable to perform certain physical activities, such as jogging? Why could I only be 1 type of person? Let us examine the evidence:.
