The Owl Service was inspired by this piece of dinnerware, below, which someone gave to Alan Garner, who saw Owls in it, and got obsessed/fascinated, and evidently learned Welsh along the way to writing his novel, which is - among other things - a kind of retelling of the Mabinogi story about Blodeuwedd and Lleu Llaw Gyffes.
Today, while poking around a Marshall's store, I spotted these bowls, and immediately had to have them. My bowl needs are not pressing at the moment, though I can always use another cereal bowl, but my need to have my very own Owl Service bowls was very strong indeed.

I think I commented to you how odd I found it that the service was a bloody china setting. i see that Alan Garner has another sequel to Weirdstone of Brisingamen about to be released.
And have you seen my owl?

However, Lithium Ion power cells are the fastest growing in the industry, and improvements are constantly being made. The charger delivers a constant current until the battery voltage has reached the set level. It is also important that they are not run flat in a portable device, which creates reverse charging, which can completely damage the battery. The ground cable (commonly black) is connected to the negative terminal.
