On Sunday, [livejournal.com profile] wimble and I went to visit the Uffington White Horse (and in the way of these things, completely failed to be able to see it). It was a lovely winter day, crunchy and clear with a glorious golden sunset. This is, however, irrelevant.

What was relevant was that on the way back, Wimble's mp3 player decided to treat us to a bit of Pop Will Eat Itself - in particular, Beaver Patrol. During the line Beeeeeaver... patrol! in the chorus, I always find myself being surprised by the word "patrol". By then, some strange level of mishearing has me expecting the line to end "Las Vegas". Yes, I know it's "beaver" not "viva", but somehow every single time the line appears in the song it catches me out.

Last night I dreamt that I was somehow involved in the production of a porn film about a large number of women (no, I can't remember any details at all, including what my involvement was, before you ask). The dream, appropriately enough, had Beaver Patrol as its soundtrack. And even while dreaming, I still kept getting distracted by the fact that the chorus doesn't contain any references to Las Vegas.

No, I realise this isn't particularly relevant to anything. But if I'm confused by my subconscious, I don't see why you should escape.

Aye, we did - though it was only just getting dusk since it was about four in the afternoon. I've not been along there before, and was really quite impressed with it.

On the very slim chance that the photo I tried worked, I may have a nice picture of the moon coming up behind the trees that ring it.

Cool. I went up there to see Halle-Bopp, and it was stunning. The only long barrow that I can think to rival it is West Kennet, out by Avebury and Silbury Hill.

There are cracking tales of ghosts encountered along the Ridgeway, each of which came faithfully flooding back on every late night excursion I made down there ;)

Hmm, I've not done any ancient sites for a good couple of years...

I always quite fancied walking the Ridgeway. Not done any serious walking in years though, so might have to consider tackling part of it rather than all, first...
