Today's Google

Post by Blink Bonny »

Ay up!

Apparently it's Jim Henson's 75th birthday, or wold have been had he been alive.

Anyway, the Google logo is some of his creations. Click on the hand beneath to select the character who then follows the mouse arrow with his eyes. A click anywhere else and his mouth opens. 2nd from the left and 2nd from the right do something rather funny if you leave them selected long enough!

I've left it late but then I've been playing with my trainset out in the garden all day (see Manna - we do get nice days. Sometimes. May be 3 weeks before we get another...) and relaxing in the bath after. Standing all day does my artritis no good at all!
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Yes, and according to the forecast it is going to continue like this in Leeds for the next few days.

Sunshine in Leeds is about as common as cheerful in Keighley! :mrgreen:

Still, trainset weather again here in the Middies!

I was playing in the garden all day with my trainset - wonderful!

Still, I used to work outside in 100F temperatures, clear skies, a subtropical sun and 80% humidity in Mississippi. I didn't half drink some H2O there!
