Sunny day

Today is Sunday and a good day to go to the beach and get salty.

Reach out - again

We got up this morning in a particularly good mood. After having a bath with daddy, a yellow duck, a green frog and Mr. Sponge and having drunk practically all the bath water We are in a fabulous mood. As you can see.

Life is beautiful

Time for a nice walk in the morning.

Gilty about to knock Jacob over

My little pine forest

The trees give off a kind of sticky liquid with a pungent piny aroma, pine gum, which, if I remember from my o level woodwork classes hardens and eventually becomes amber.

Looks a bit like icing sugar

Turns into something which looks like it could be used for incense

That's the morning done and dusted. The afternoon means going to the beach.

Power to the people

Who buried those feet 

The sand round here is particularly tasty

The weather is holding up. Me too. Now it's next week and I have just visited a company called Netex. It's a local company but pretty big and expanding into America and England. They specialise in E-learning. I didn't know, but I teach the boss's kids. Essentially, they deal with sophisticated video conferencing systems and computerised support and delivery platforms for training and education. Everything has its acronym. Smolts and bolts and dolts smarfs.

What I wanted was a good voice recognition programme like the ones the new smart phones have. This would enable students and parents to do English conversational homework together. At the moment none of the kids that don't have the privilege of going to private English schools have enough conversational practice.

Enough:

Oil And Blood

IN tombs of gold and lapis lazuli
Bodies of holy men and women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
