Sundays are supposed to be a day of rest and contemplation, but so far today the telephone has been figuratively red hot, with everyone from Lizzy and Dave to...
I am sorry that this bloggo update is remarkably late, but we are in the midst of a CFZ Family Crisis (the capitalisation is very much justified) and things...
Graham here, taking a swift break from wielding a hedge-trimmer to perch on the CFZ swivel chair and do the site updates. The sun's in my eyes, directly over...
Life is particularly strange at the moment. I seem to becoming a batard mix of anarchist social worker, and the post-psychedelic Gilbert White. One day I may...
Another day, another dollar. Graham and I are the only ones up, and are preparing for another long and tortuous day. (Actually he is making me a sandwich,...
I have just got the new album by the Flaming Lips, and it is the first great record of 2009, and I am currently driving everyone mad with it. But it makes...
Saturday morning and I am surrounded by family; Olivia and Ivan are here for the weekend, and we shall be visiting Noela and Marjorie in a few minutes....
Sunday morning, and Ivan and Olivia are just about to go home taking Olivia's pet degu (that I have her as a 17th birthday present, four years ago) with them....
It is really beginning to feel like winter is around the corner. Whatever happened to the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness? Pah! Never mind, we have...
Graham here, on a very rainy Tuesday in south-west England. Today's definitely going to be an admin day, a staying indoors day... although I might venture out...
The garden is under a carpet of autumn leaves, and the sunlight is pale and wintry. The only nice thing about this time of year is the knowledge that in...
Im not at my brightest and best today. As anyone who knows me will attest, my illness is syclical and I just happen to be in a downward phase. I hope it will...
Friday morning and I have just been offered a pair og greater sirens that I really cannot aford. Will I buy them? Probably. I feel another fundraising drive...
Saturday morning at the CFZ, Jon is going back to bed, the bloggo's done, the emails read and he would rather read a book instead.... CRYPTOZOOLOGY: Richard...
The clocks went back today, but that is not the only reason we are up bright and early. Today, Biggles, Corinna and I are on our way to Falmouth to see an old...
Falmouth was fun yesterday; no sea monsters but a nice walk and some close encounters with feathered beasties. Biggles had a particularly splendid time. No...
Richard is here again and work has just started on the new edition of Animals & Men and the 2010 CFZ Yearbook. I have a doctor's appointment later (which I am...
Winter is just around the corner, and it is grey and chilly inside and out. Bizarrely, however, I saw a speckled wood in the garden yesterday, and there are...
It is warmer today, but still an incipient taste of the winter to come can be felt by those who are paranoid enough to feel it. Everywhere else in the country...
The day before Hallowe'en and we are defrosting the freezer. It sounds dull I know, but it is that sort of day. Thank goodness for blog updates: CRYPTOZOOLOGY:...
It seemed like a good idea to do a Hallowe'en themed special, but then it all got out of hand. Story of the CFZ really.. BLOGGO (Samhein Special): Why Today's...
I was awoken this morning by the most Godawful gale that I have heard in years. I know that these things are subjective, and perhaps it is just that we are not...
Yes it is early for this, you are right. But I have a doctor's appointment at 10, and will be out for much of the day, and it has to be said that an early...

4th November: MUIRHEAD'S MYSTERIES: Richard M is back with a peculiar story about warring tribes of starlings Click here for further details... 4th November:...
Today is a celebration of the only person in British politics who actually had the right idea. Yesterday Dale D wrote to me asking whether it was (as he heard)...
Computers/antibiotics/weather/roofing felt/Electricity bills/septic cysts/postal strikes/e-mail servers. What have they got in common on the first friday in...
Graham takes time out from fixing a disintegrating window to update the CFZ site. A nice mixed bag today, although I did wince a bit to find someone's reading...
The autumn still seems to be doing its best not to be going away. The sun is still shining, my roses are still blooming, and yesterday - in one of the breaks...
Until five minutes ago, me and the orange cat were the only two mammals awake in the house. First Graham bustled through on the way to do errands in Bideford,...
