This month is surely heavy-'duty', to say the least!

And if you are wondering what the pics are all about.... got up in the morning and had a glimpse of these pretty pink flowers basking in the sunlight...and they seemed so happy! The bird is native to India and is called the 'Bharadwaj' ... its apparantly considered lucky to spot one...( maybe they used to be rare to see once upon a time with the thick foliage that was there)... I see them (yes there are 3!!!) everyday....how lucky does that make me??!!! .... curioser and curioser... hehe.

March Hare: Have some wine. (Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea.)
Alice: I don't see any wine.
March Hare: There isn't any.
Alice: Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it.
March Hare: It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited.
**********************************
March Hare: …Then you should say what you mean.
Alice: I do; at least - at least I mean what I say -- that's the same thing, you know.
Mad Hatter: Not the same thing a bit! Why, you might just as well say that, 'I see what I eat' is the same as 'I eat what I see'!
March Hare: You might just as well say, that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!
The Dormouse: You might just as well say, that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!
*********************************************
Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea?
Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more.
March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less.
Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.
*****************************************
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Chesire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We are all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.
Alice: And how do you know that you're mad?
The Cat: To begin with, a dog's not mad. You grant that?
Alice: I suppose so.
The Cat: Well, then, you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:1st March 1896, Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity by accident. He left a photographic plate in a desk drawer and found it had fogged with the image of uranium crystals that were alongside it. In 1954, The US detonated a hydrogen bomb 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima explosion. The test site on the Pacific archipelago of Bikini was subsequently used for 23 atomic and hydrogen bombs tests over 12 years, leaving it highly contaminated by radioactivity.
