Fun stuff

After moaning yesterday, let me give you some happy things today:

- Through the Virgin Radio site, you can access various live sessions and videos. As I've mentioned before, I love Newton Faulkner's music, and they've got a recording of him "Unplugged and Airborne". The man even sounds great playing in a hot air balloon, and looks over the moon to be doing it at all, as well as slightly disconcerted by the occasional blasts of hot air. Plus, the acoustic version of 'Dream Catch Me' is soooo much better than the single version. His music always makes me smile, and this was no exception.

- I've recently read a couple of very happy SGA fics: Fluff and fold by [livejournal.com profile] kristen999 is a lovely 'slice of life' type story, as well as tackling one of life's great questions. the other is If you can't beat 'em, join 'em by [livejournal.com profile] wildcat88 is a great Harmony tag, with some pitch-perfect banter.

- Not so happy, but just gorgeous is All Our Sunsets by [livejournal.com profile] topaz_eyes. Set at the end of 'Captain Jack Harkness', it captures a moment so beautifully, and is a brilliant insight into Jack. Just lovely.

- They've found a new animal. And it's so cute!

- [livejournal.com profile] matsujo9 introduced me to www.cuteoverload.com, which has cheered up some miserable days, but my favourite is definitely the dolphins blowing bubbles. Just incredibly sweet and surprisingly soothing to watch.

The shrew is awesome! I love the colours in its fur.

Isn't it cute? I've decided I want a new pet... ;)

Me too, but it would confuse the heck out of my cats!

DOLPHINS! Omg they are so cute.

And wow, those Romania pictures are absolutely gorgeous. What a great reminder of what a stunning place Earth is, in so many surprising places you've never even thought of.

The dolphins are adorable - there's also some footage somewhere of whales taking air from scuba divers and doing something similar. It's incredible.

I could't get my head around what I was seeing when Mum sent me the pictures - it just looks amazing.
