Sleep overs

Last night g'daughter slept over her friends as she was going with her and her Mum to the Science Museum.  So g'son decided he would have a sleep over as well.

He got his furry blanket, quilt and pillow and put it in the bath and slept in the bath all night. That was his sleep over!!!!

Grandchildren

I have never put pictures of family on the web before but being as they have their own websites full of pictures of themselves it seemed silly not to.  So i asked their Mum's permission and she said yes, so here they are.

This is the granddaughter who writes occassionally on here, first looking like she is thinking!!!  Then at her school.  She has just finished Junior school and will be starting Seniors in September.  Times flies, the next five years will go so fast.

The pictures of my G'son are taken this year at the start of the Gumball Rally in London.  These type of sports car are his life.  He knows everything about all of them.  He draws them, makes them with his leggo and wants to be a car designer when he gets big.  If he applies himself he could do it.  When he has an idea for something he can expalin to you exactly how he wants it made down to the last detail, he just doesn't have the knowledge yet to put it together, but he is only seven and a half, g'daughter is eleven and a half.  Oh and his other passion is drumming, he is having lessons and his tutor says he is good if only he can slow him down enough to learn the basics first LOL!  He does have ADHD though and his meds haven't quite kicked in when he has his lesson but he has no other time slots yet.

G'daughter has found she has a sweet voice and has sung at her Guides 'do' recently and for the school (for charity) in our local theatre's foyer.  My friend is going to give her a few singing lessons and take her through her grade one exam (she is really a piano teacher but can get her started).

So there you are, i present my two youngest g'kid's. I have another 5 so i will see if i can get them on here too.

My old oak tree

Squirrel was slowly walking along a branch of my oak tree trying to keep as flat to the branch as only a squirrel can.  At the other end of the branch sat Maggie, watching, waiting.  Three quarters of the way along squirrel ran at Maggie as fast as he could, making Maggie fly, but only with an air of 'couldn't care less' two branches higher.  Squirrel thinking he had shown who was boss turned and slowly walked back down the branch head held high.

Famous five


Thanks to Amy for choosing me as one of her five 'Rocking Girl Bloggers', now i have to choose five, problem being that nearly all the ones i would choose have already been tagged.  So i will just choose some of the good ones i read regularly regardless of their being tagged before and my apologies to any that have been left out.

In no particular order.

First is Angie at http://journals.aol.co.uk/faveanti/canyouallhearmeattheback/ she never fails to make me laugh.

Next Kathy at http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES  I love her rhymes and sense of humour and kind comments.

Third Ma at http://journals.aol.com/marainey1/GoodMorningSunshine/ she always comes up with wise positive words.

Fourth http://journals.aol.com/lifesabench6/Noappologies-Biblicalperspect/ sorry i don't know your name.  I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about her childhood and her bible perspectives as they related to today's world.

Number five is Joni http://journals.aol.com/jonibooks1991/jonis-life-now/ i have only just found this blog but loved her entry about the deer born in her garden.

Bea is my final one, i love her openness, integrity and honesty in her journal.  Her love of imparting knowledge and her enabling qualites shine through.  You will find her at http://journals.aol.com/bgilmore725/Wanderer/

There are plenty others i read that are really good as well but i had to choose five.

The Big Crunch!!!

We were told in the west that now we have science we no longer need God and anyway we know how it all began.... The Big Bang!

Only one problem, people were asking, 'but what came before the Big Bang'.  First of all the scientists said, 'well, nothing', but it became obvious that that answer wouldn't do.

But now they think they have the answer...  The Big Crunch.  Yes, that's right, the Big Crunch.  Remember what we was taught, that 'nothing made everything for no reason', with one Big Bang all time and space was created.  Well now they say that our universe was created from the shattered remains of an older universe.

We are told that the previous universe was similar to ours but collapsed in on itself and they named this The Big Crunch.  This new theory is called 'The Big Bounce'.

This has all come about it seems because mathematicians have been unable to show how a universe was created from nothing, but a team from the US believes it has solved part of the puzzle.  Researchers we are told have created a mathematical model using a new theory called Loop Quantum Gravity.  The theory is supposed to combine Einstein's Theory of General Relativity with new ideas about quantum physics, but we are told it is almost impossible to understand without a crash course in advanced physics.

We say 'science has prooved', right until the next theory comes along.  Now don't get me wrong, science and scientists have done wonders for our world and health.  It also has to be said that it has done a lot of harm in the wrong hands.  But some science is not absolute.  It is only good till the next 'breakthrough' comes along.

Now this new theory may be true but forgive me for mentioning it, but what was there then before The Big Bounce, or are we still to believe, 'that nothing made everything for no reason'.
