SHERI THE CFZ INTERN: Day 5 - Wednesday

Day 5 – Wednesday

There was an earlier start to actual work today, but only slightly. I completed all of my work placement hours, for college, by 2 o’clock. I worked until 9 o’clock anyway, because there was little use in me just sitting around all day.

Saskia and Riley came by again, and she and I conducted the animal round, while Riley resumed the painting. Saskia eventually joined him. I had completed what I was doing with the Eberhart book and went back through it to check for things I had missed. I’m convinced somebody had messed up my columns as I definitely had them arranged nicely the day before.


When I had finished this, and setting up some of Karl Shuker’s book, I just faffed for a while and waited for tea. Luckily, “Shooting Bigfoot” arrived today, so I was able to watch it before going home. It was hilarious. I didn’t expect it to be feature length and it was upsetting when the poor doggy had its throat cut, but overall, I enjoyed watching it. I then had to convince the dog to get off me, so I could go to bed.

ARE you worried that your bees are suffering from diarrhoea?

A bee on Snowdrops in the Teign Valley, by Mike Boddy
ARE you worried that your bees are suffering from diarrhoea?
If so help is at hand as the Exeter Beekeepers’ Association is holding a special day on Saturday April 12 to detect nosema, as the condition in bees is known.
According to committee member David McLarin, nosema is becoming more prevalent in the South West and that is not good news as bees with the problem hardly produce any honey.
It accelerates their metabolism so that if they get to the end of the summer having produced very little honey meaning they could starve during the winter.
Beekeepers wanting their bees tested should take them along to Topsham Rugby Club between 10am, and 3pm on April 12.
For the test to be carried out some 25 to 30 bees have to be killed, by trapping them in a bag and freezing them to death in a freezer.
They will then be ground up and traces of gut put onto a slide and examined under a microscope.
If nosema is detected the only treatment is for the bees to be given a new hive.

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS




The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 

There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. 

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

    What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?

    Well, everything actually!

    In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. 





    THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN EXTRAPOLATES

    The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
     
    My Robot Army of the Undead and I are working ourselves ever closer to World Domination. A clutch of eggs from the Columbian giant ramshorn snail and Corinna (bless her) is sorting out accommodation for them. She went out and bought me a palatial breeding cage for them yesterday; they will need it because they will only be match-head sized when they hatch. Sheri left with Graham this morning on the first stage of her long journey back to Yorkshire. Graham, however, is going to the laboratory supplies place in Stoke Canon following which he will be fitting new doors to my house in Exeter. In the meantime, Andrea will be here imminently and lots of exciting things involving this weekend's issue of Gonzo Weekly, Karl Shuker's new book, and Volume Two of George Eberhart's Mysterious Creatures, and Ian Abrahams' biography of The Waterboys will transpire. Oh what an exciting life we have...

    On this day in 1953 the film House of Wax was premièred. House of Wax was the first major studio release filmed in 3D. 3D films have their detractors (usually the sorts of people who claim never to go to the cinema or own a TV because they erroneously think it will make them appear intelligent rather than just a skinflint) but 3 dimensions will improve even the most mediocre of films... Unless you only happen to have one eye, in which case it is a bit of a downer.
