Happy Superb Owl Day
International Owl Awareness Day August 4
Introduction
These are a few musings as Raymond G. Taylor brough "International Owl Awareness Day" to my attention with his excellent poem:
And More Superb Owl Stuff
I have included the excellent "What We Do In The Shadows Segment" on the Superb Owl, although it is also amusing the number of people in the USA who tell me I have made a mistake when I use the phrase.
I have written a few Owl-related stories on Vocal, such as Call Me Les's superb book, which my granddaughter Alexis loves:
Then an old one for a Vocal Challenge that readers liked but Vocal didn't 🦉😁
Grammarly keeps telling me to correct my spelling here:
Here is one of my favourite places in Newcastle, a really special shop:
Then this wonderful Owl Willow sculpture by Anna and The Willow:
And of course, one from Angie Livingstone, The Glittering Fox, which will feature in our forthcoming book. Many of her pictures feature Owls and of that means my poetry does as well:
There are many sites which have pages related to today, such as these:
Conclusion
Thank you for reading. I hadn't intended to write this, but Ray's poem was so good that I had to put this together.
I'm also close to Vocal Story 3210, which I shall title "Countdown"

The Joy Of Socks
Introduction This is a piece that came up on my blog from twelve years back. I thought it was quite humorous, but to post in the Vocal community, it needs to be six hundred words, and this was only about a hundred and eighty words, so what can I do?

Why is everyone's lifestyle different when it comes to living life
When we look at the lifestyles that people lead do we ever wonder why they are not all the same? Is the fact that lifestyles for people are all different because people are all different and that is what makes it unique? That is what I would say, because if we all had the same lifestyle the world would be a very boring place. So do different things then your neighbour when you do this you will feel so much better and so much more will come into your life that I am sure of. Lifestyles are what makes life worth living because we live our lives in the way that works for us, some of us work constantly, some of us know how to relax and take a break by doing the things we enjoy and we call those things hobbies. Everyone does different things in there lives because that is what makes us the people we are. Lifestyles are different because then life is different. When we live our lives, we do so because of what we want out of them don’t we? That is the way that I look at it, what about you? Everyone’s life is different because, if it was all the same then it wouldn’t be any fun, LIfe is meant to be fun and full of hobbies or else it isn’t anything at all, that is the way I look at it.

I loved all the owl themes pieces! Thank you for this compilation!
Were you in Newcastle when Alan Robson's Night Owls was indispensable radio listening on Metro FM? Must have been in the 90s, when I was in sixth form. Cheap as chips programming, just a phone in through the small hours. Attracted all the oddities you might expect, often with impenetrable accents. Compelling stuff back then; probably tame by internet standards. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
I love owls! Other than bats, they are my favorite!
What a fun piece you put together!
You are one 'wise' person and writer on this one. Owl's are special.
Owls are amazing creatures. I didn't know they also had a special day. I love your owl clock.
