Colossal Squid - Return To The Land Of The Giants

Long time readers will remember my fascination with big things, that inevitably led to me being a bit taken in by the whole Giantology viral marketing blog thing, Initially I thought the blogger writing the stuff was real but he was getting hoaxed, but now it looks like the whole thing was back story. I kind of haven't posted much like that since to be honest.

So, after an absence in occasionally posting about giants and seeing it on the BBC's homepage, I had to share this story of a potentially record breaking colossal squid caught in Antarctic waters this week. Whoahhhh! What a monster, and it's still a relatively small specimen I'd think. I have to say I love seafood, but I'm not a massive squid fan. You'd be chewing that guy for a week!

In other news, and in a roundabout and extremely tenuous way, there's another return to the land of the giants. We're going to sign the papers tomorrow on the Tenby house, and should be moving west come the 7th/8th of March.

So, why is that a return to the land of the giants? Well, the house we're renting is just around the corner from the place I took the photo of four old fellas that became the basis for the painting I made many years ago called Old Giants Resting. Hey, I said it was tenuous.

Anyway, it seems fitting to trot out an old one, given how much my life has changed and gone in a different direction since then. Now it stands on the brink of a whole new direction. I can't wait. I could do without the cardboard boxes and stuff, but it should be worth the hassle.
