It was an exciting time, lots of great records were coming out, and there were pirate radio stations like the Dread Broadcasting Company based near Portobello Road. It was great playing at The Batcave – full stop! I never think about who’s in the audience though, I’m 100% in the zone on-stage, everything else ceases to exist!

Remote Cameras Capture 10 Different Predators Descending on Bat Cave

It's the first proof of leopards actively hunting and eating live bats.

🚀 TT Games and WB Games have unveiled the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Batcave, not just a set-piece but a fully customizable hub that nods to classic Batcaves while adding fresh player-focused features.

Inside: a science lab, training wing, garage and a museum-like display of every suit and vehicle; nearly everything is tweakable, from a private library to a flight-control command center. Tons of customization, pretty SICK

So there are definitely moments of confusion amd/or explanation required as to why I genuinely NEED to retain this item or that item, because this is non-obvious to the hoarding specialist.

Family and friends usually know or can recognise why I have something or something is located in an odd place (as opposed to where one might expect considering the item's intended purpose), but even they sometimes might be scratching their heads over something.

Aside: I just realised that if I ever have the time, perhaps adding large labels like the classic #Batman #TV series did on their #batcave gadgets would be helpful to the many who aren't able to recognise a #repurposing. 🦇 😂

Greetings from Granny Sampov

Met this not easily impressed lady macaque in the temple complex on top of Phnom Sampov, outside Battambang.

Somehow she reminds me of certain family. Namely the ones who always wonders why younger family members haven’t moved back, and why they’re not married yet. With an added advice to settle down and start a proper family.

Phnom Sampov are known for its bat cave. But there is much more to see.

More than bat caves
These hills are well known for its bat cave and sunset departure of hundred of thousands of bats for the night hunt. But there is much more to the “ship mountain” Phnom Sampeau/Sampov than bats. There are several sites in the hills worth a visit.

Two larger monasteries with pagodas and stupas, monkeys and large caves are worth visiting both for cave fans and people of all parts of Cambodian history. The caves on this and the other small mountain hills in this cluster carry with it stories of tradition, happiness and deep tragedy.

It is worth spending some time walking these hills. For the well fit, there is an opportunity to trek the stairs and tracks up the hill. The fast alternative is to pay a driver to take you up to the sites by car.

Phnom Sampov is north-west of Battambang city in the west of Cambodia. It takes about 30-40 minutes by car to get there from the city.

Do not feed the monkeys
The monkeys are a part of the pagoda experience. These longtail Macaques are normally very friendly because they expect to get, or steal, food or items for play from the visitors.

Please, do not feed the monkeys. It reduces their ability to hunt and gather their own food. It may lead to malnutrition.

When your home *is* a temple

Temples in Cambodia are marvels of intrinsic details, but sometimes the cohabitants are, too. Like this one at Phnom Sampeau.

The monkeys at most of these temple sites around Asia are peaceful, knowing they are safe and have access to food and water. But they are also nosy and cheeky, and any seasoned traveller know to keep their belongings, food and water well contained or hidden.

No feeding or fighting
Even if they are small, they are strong and have sharp teeth. So there is no use try picking a fight.

And never, ever feed the monkeys. It reduces their ability to hunt and gather their own food, leading to malnutrition and they become more aggressive in close contact with humans.

Small gene pools
Another challenge for these monkeys are the limited numbers of members in each family group in each temple. That is causing some problems with inbreeding due to small gene pools.

We are talking severe Habsburger jaw and bulbous lips, to use a European reference to tragedy and disaster when science is absent. I have observed this inbreeding problem to become lesser over the last few years in Cambodia, as the caretaking of these cultural heritage sites improves. Including for the animals.

But the monkeys also ad personality and scale to these photos. So I would miss having them around, if they where to disappear.
