Well this is going to take a little longer, but have made a start on the scenery. The base is polystyrene, that is built up in layers and the edges broken to give texture, and stuck together using ‘no more nails’. Once this has been moulded it will be covered in ‘grout’, and then sealed.

I now have stage 1 of the vivarium out of the way! It’s been varnished, after looking around the internet Ronseal Floor Varnish was the winner for this job. Sorry that there are no pictures of the making of the vivarium. But this was about 4 years ago, and the redesign can around the the unfortunate and untimely death of it previous resident 
Next step is the scenery, this will be made from polystyrene, grout, and sealed with the floor varnish. More about this later…

These guys have some intresting stuff! They have two goals of sort, to enable people to find out about/enguage in civic/community activities, and to show other how they can use the internet to improve lives.
Their most recent envolvment was about the MP’s vote on conceling their expensis! Here is Tom’s blog on it (Blimey it looks like the internets won), and the facebook group with over 8,000 members (WE WIN! I object to MPs concealing their expenses).
Here is a list of their projects:

The British ream the set the land speed record in 1997 are looking to raise the bar, and set a new one in 2011 of 1000mph! This time the car will not only have a jet engine, but also a rocket.
Could this be a new addition to the group of man eating animals? This particular species is called the Goonch, is a catfish that lives in the river Kali. It is reckoned that the fish has grown larger than normal size, due to the fact that it eats the remains thrown into the river after funerals.
It started in 1988 when a 17 year old was dragged under, and later that year a young boy. The latest person to disappear was an 18 year old in 2007, and there has also been reports of buffalo being attacked!
British biologist Jeremy Wade has studied the fish, and caught one that was 1.83 meters long, and weighed in at 73kg! He reckoned that this was only the tip of what was to be found.
This is wrong! If it can fire 1 million rounds a minute where would you store all the rounds?
New program coming to e4, dead set. What an odd concept, just like all those other zombie movies only this time the existence of the human race depends on those in the ‘big brother’ house! Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think that puts us in good standing.
How about this nifty new feature from google. Once installed, depending on the day of the week and the hour, it will get you to some basic math to see if you are in a fit state to be sending mail! The idea being that you don’t send you ex that email you later regret…
Here is the post: New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret
How about this, the ‘Jackson Five’ could be touring sometime by the end of this year! Apparently Michael will be involved in the reunion.
