Albatross

Sorry just had to do this one. We now have a beautiful bird on top of our ERC / Wildlife display cabinet at Altona Library. Such a majestic bird. They frequent our shores from time to time and can be spotted at Altona beach. Well anyway our new arrival is preached in all its glory on top of a cabinet that displays wildlife. They are all so glorious but I am afraid that as soon as I saw this one the other day, all I could think of was a Monty Python scene, so needless to say, that for the rest of the day, all I kept saying was "Albatross".

Ok, you need to know what I am talking about to get it... Watch these for some fun and frivolity:

Love your work. I was a founding member of the Monty Python Club at LaTrobe Uni (too long ago to mention) I'm more a fan of their early stuff, dead parrots, philosophers song...I'm a lumberjack & I'm OK.....Hey perhaps we should have a silly walk competition or perhaps not

Yeah, strange about the black ... maybe I will change it... I need a change and a holiday.
Watch for more Monty Python stuff... oh and if you are on facebook, I have posted clips on some sketches just for fun.
