Out of the habit.

Seem to ahev lost the muse when it comes to blogging, I’ve managed to not really blog all week Including fun science-y things we did last week. Hmm, anyway this is for now, cos going to bed soon. Also behind with Flickr as well…
My brother and his youngest son O are over on their way back over to France from Ireland (mother and son live in France, Dad in Ireland, makes life complicated…)? They came round yesterday, lots of playing, mostly happily :-)? BB splits her tiem between chasing the bigger ones about and? hanging around with the grownups.

Today me and the girls went over to my Mum and Dads were they are staying, mostly happy playing again. A bit of? split when O wanted to play with his video game football game thing(some cheapo thing, not a flash thing like a DS …) so she played with the Dolly. Eventually compromised, she was the Mummy, and he was the Daddy who was a computer programmer And an argument over the crackers (used up soem old xmas ones) over who had how many and which cheapo-plastic-toys-we-will-lose-or-forget-about-by-tomorrow-anyway

Did have a few interesting conversations in the car though. Had one about the reality of imaginary people like Santa Claus/tooth faeries/’this character made up by one of her granddads, who seems to be some sort of satellite/alien thing. Not fairies though – ‘I know they are real , I’ve seen them‘. Got a bit metaphysical? when we talked about the idea of liking things things to be? real in our imaginations even if we don’t believe them to be true in reality. We watched ‘The Snowman’ a few times this Xmas. BB likes it. So I mentioned that I liked to imagine that somewhere, Snowmen were really flying off in the midnight air, even though I didn’t really believe it. – just the same as I want to believe that there really is? town and inhabitants like those in Northern Exposure. I think she decided that she sort of didn’t believe, but wanted to so was going to anyway.

We also had one on the way back, after listening to a travel report on the radio about all the various roads closed in relation to the strong winds ‘ Ohh, there is lots of places closed, must be very windy‘. So we got talking about strong winds and hurricanes and tornadoes, she was taking with the idea of Tornadoes picking things up. So she mused on people being picked up, ‘They’d probably be dropped on a cloud, so then they would fall back down, so they would probably die I think, then the tornado might pick them up and then drop them again, up down , up down. Might be be a bit of mess at the end‘. Errr.. yes, quite

On that note, off to bed
