WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

KITHRA: Cornish Superstitions

Contrary to my usual custom of uploading my latest article on the first day of the month, I have put my most recent one up today. It’s all about Cornish superstitions and you can read it here.

The reason that it has gone up early is because I am helping an old friend to move home. Unfortunately they are very unwell and unable to do anything as stressful as undertaking all the things involved in a house move at the moment. But, the offer of Sheltered accommodation arose and if they had turned it down they could be waiting for a very long time for another flat to become available.

So, as they have no family close at hand, it’s down to me to find removal companies, write change of address letters, complete forms, etc etc. However, I don’t have to do anything physical as other members of my family are doing the packing. For that I’m most grateful as I’m no longer able to do hard physical work. Therefore, I’m just left with all the mental organising; which I find exhausting enough!

This all means that my computer time is currently somewhat limited, and I’m fitting in what I can when I can. It may be up to 4 weeks before the move takes place, but it might be sooner.
