Back on Earth - Ozzy Osbourne

Returning from the WONDERLAND that is Bonny Scotland felt akin to being 
where once again we face a mammoth task in catching up on recent days.
Not to everyone's liking we know, but feel the need to show some of the
Moth Species
(think of them more as diverse, beautiful creatures rather than
something you belt over the head with a recent copy of the
Sunday Times
should they stray into your bathroom!)
we have encountered since we arrived back.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the highlight has been this
 NORTHERN DRAB
(a 'first' for our Recording Area)
which is described in the Dorset Records as a
Scarce and Very Local Resident
of just a single generation on the wing between April and May.
The first specimen captured in Dorset was taken in 1905 since when
records of adult Insects have come nowhere near treble figures and
it is thought our find is sure to put another 'location dot' on the Species Map.
Otherwise, we have only come across the 'expected' in the form of:-
 BRIMSTONE MOTH
 GREAT PROMINENT
 FLAME SHOULDER
 MUSLIN MOTH
 LUNAR MARBLED BROWN
 PINE BEAUTY
Additionally, there have been one or two other Insects which
we will also feature in this Post. 
 The first of the season, but certainly not the last
 WASP
KNOT GRASS
SCORCHED CARPET
 SHUTTLE-SHAPED DART
SAINT MARK'S FLY
 (Bibio marci)
(( not a Moth))
Named thus as the adults usually emerge on or close to that Saint's Day
25th April.
 SALLOW KITTEN
 PEBBLE PROMINENT
 WHITE ERMINE
RUBY TIGER
 maybe 2 different morphs?
(underside)
 CHOCOLATE-TIP
BRIGHT-LINE BROWN-EYE
 LESSER SWALLOW PROMINENT
TAWNY PINION
Love him or simply just content to WORSHIP every single breath he takes,
there is no one in the whole of Rock 'n' Roll (nay The Whole Wide World)
to compare with the irrepressible Mr Osbourne, by some considered just a
MADMAN!
It is suggested that if each of us ran our lives along the theme of his composition
 'Dreamer'
then it would be a better place not only for us, but for those who follow?
We fear there is not much hope Ozzy!!
 Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ... this time

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each other’s help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry ...
Be gone?

I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away - Today
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days - Okay
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way - Today
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!
 Rock 'n' Roll Trivia:-
Ozzy = Vocals
Zakk Wilde (Black Label Society) = Lead Guitar in the absence of Randy Rhodes who, after what was to be his last performance as sidekick to Osbourne, was so ecstatic that he took to the air in a private plane, stolen and piloted by Andrew Aycock (Tour Bus Driver) who proceeded to 'buzz' the static bus. On the third pass a wing tip clipped the bus, then crashing into a pine tree, resulting in the death of all of those onboard the aircraft.
Robert Trujillo (currently Metallica) = Bass (who is capable but will never be a Jason Newstead)
Mike Bordin (Faith No More) = Drums
Tim Palmer (British Music Producer) = Piano
While it is said Sabbath have played their last gig,  we don't need to sound
PARANOID 
and simply wish
Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi
LONG and HEALTHY LIFE
