Tranquility Base. A nice bucolic landscape with a dog, goats, llamas, sheep, and trance music, by Jeff Minter of Llamasoft. [16.6 MB QuickTime, via MonkeyFilter.]

While the main link was a bit too low res for my tastes, the peripheral tidbits of informing us what Jeff's up to these days and teaching us the word "Bucolic" make it all worthwhile.

Meanwhile, Ospreys have nested for the first time in Wales.

As derailing your own thread goes, that's pretty impressive. I wasn't aware they were gone in Wales at all though, so thanks anyway.

As derailing your own thread goes, that's pretty impressive.

But they both concern animals in Wales, so they do have a bit in common.

Fluffies! Superior tinkly noodling! Digestive biccies! That's lovely ...

I don't get it. It's a lengthy and boring video of a petting zoo? Am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything -- it is, quite simply, that. A video of some animals, set to music. Although the music is rather odd, I did very much enjoy the goats & such. Such whimsical creatures!

Thanks, homunculus.

The end of the music was a bit overly sampled from The Orb. The peace with the animals is cool though.

Yes, it reminded me of 'Back side of the moon/Tranquility lunar orbit mix,' which is where I thought the title came from. Don't know about the rest of tracks, though.
