It was not just laziness that delayed the announcement of the winner of the bird captions. It was also the difficulty of choosing the best one. Every time I looked at them I made a different choice.
What decided me in the end was that only one really captured the feeling of the purposeful yet bizarre posture of the bird in photograph seven (you might need to enlarge it to see what I mean) and could figure out what it was saying so urgently in picture eight. Editter has demonstrated that she is in tune with the birds. Congratulations, Editter! And a Happy New Year to you all.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

I love the captions, and they make perfect sense. I would not have thought of them in a million years, because I am not good at that.
Happy New Year!
Woohoo! I've only just got onto a computer and it's... it's... no, I've got no idea what date it is, but it's still January!
Yay, I won! Do I get anything? Wait, let me go back and see if anything was on offer apart from fame and glory...
