The Gonzo Daily - Christmas Eve
Last night was, I suppose, the equivalent of the
annual office party. Mother had two glasses of sherry, Corinna went to bed
early, and Dave B-P, Graham and I drank various things, listened to various
things, and generally had a boozy good time. This winter has so far been
very windy and very wet but has been extraordinarily mid temperature-wise. I
always worry about such mild winters because so many organisms need the trigger
of freezing to grow properly. Then again, I said exactly the same thing last
year, and after Christmas we had a vile cold snap that lasted into April. But
the following summer was the best one for butterflies in many years. And whilst
on the subject of butterflies, as you will know if you read my meanderings, this has been the best year for long-tailed blues since the 1940s but a few
weeks ago there was another aberrant record - one of the first British records
of a yellow-legged tortoiseshell. I wonder what next year has in store for us
lepidopterists.

You will probably have noticed that this week I am just posting some of my
favourite songs even though they are off topic, and today's Track of the Day is
by Elephant's Memory

* The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to
write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and
want to showcase your work or even just say hello, please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and
spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to
read us in order to grow and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more
traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we
all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....
* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to
things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not
responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest
guv!
* Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others), is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus...did we mention the orange cat?
