      Yesterday's news but still pretty cool (and grim at the same time):
      injecting peptides into a hamster's damaged brain <a
      href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1730298,00.html?gusrc=rss">caused
      spontaneous repair and recovery of vision</a> (from The Guardian).

      Last week on the magnificent (for people with puppies at least) <cite>It's
      Me Or The Dog</cite> they featured a battery-powered bacon-flavoured
      bubble machine.  Wow! we thought, and ordered one over the weekend.
    </p>
    <p>
      And so, it appears, did the rest of the nation:
    </p>
    <blockquote>
      <p>
        Dear Customer<br/>
        Thank you for ordering Fetch Pet Bubble products from Seapets.
        Due to the unprecedented demand following the Channel Four television
        program, all stocks of these products, that were in this country were gone
        within hours of the broadcast.
      </p>
      <p>
        Fortunately we work very closely with Fetch Pet and have been assured that
        we will be the first to receive supplies as the next batch is flown in from
        the USA. We expect this to clear customs within a few days and we should be
        able to resume deliveries next week.
      </p>
    </blockquote>

      Poor Henry has to wait for bacon flavoured bubble goodness.  In other news
      my 28-135mm IS USM lens arrived today, and it's lovely.  Shots online
      later.
