It Seemed To Be A Quiet Day In The Newspapers Today,

we also had a quiet day, so on with the post,


we had run out of beetroot, so a trip to Friendship to buy a couple of jars of it,

next stop the market for some vegetables,

as we had some shopping from Friendship I stayed on the bike whilst Diana shopped around, just where we had parked a new cable television provider TMN had set up a stall,

just in front of us the melon stall was setting up,

then back she came, shopping completed,

after our evening meal we settled down to more tales from Walmington-on-Sea as we watched the entire second series of Dad's Army,

also the second in the Star War series, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, I have to say we are both looking forward to the next episode,

we rounded the evening off with one I have been looking forward to for a long time, Avatar in BluRay 3D, we watched it at the cinema in 3D and I have to say we were really impressed, the good news is that it was just as good at home, the bad news was though that Diana stopped watching to wards the end of the film as it gave her a headache, but for me I was in seventh heaven, unlike many who after watching the film felt suicidal,


then in a strange coincidence the planet Pandora featured in an article in one of today's newspapers, astronomers came to the conclusion that after identifying up to 15 new planets orbiting the life-friendly 'habitable zones' of stars, moons like the one depicted in the film Avatar may be among the most common places to find alien life, astronomer Dr Chris Lintott, from Oxford University, a member of the international team behind the discovery, said: 'There's an obsession with finding Earth-like planets but what we are discovering with planets such as PH2 b is far stranger, Jupiter has several large water-rich moons, imaging dragging that system into the comfortably warm region where the Earth is',


before the latest finds, 19 other exoplanets had already been located in habitable zones, also known as the 'Goldilocks zone', this is the orbital path where temperatures are not too hot or cold but "just right" to permit liquid surface water, what does all of this mean? Pandora could be out there!
