after the deluge

After the thunderstorm the field was full of these cardinal beetles common red soldier beetles , merrily copulating in pairs, threes and fours, shoving each other around and hopping from group to group.

A little earlier I had been listening to Norman Tebbit on Radio 4, going on about 'deviance from the norm', which is one of the many things he doesn't care for.

He certainly made me think, mostly thoughts like 'why does Norman Tebbit get so much air time?' and ' I wonder what else is on?'
