Hey there’s a recession on right?

 So I have a lot of cd’s…

  So I thought that sometimes re-discovering old music, is in a way like buying new music ! So everyday now I am always in work a little early which allows me time to play music so I go retro and play some old stuff…

   Todays soundtrack is :-

One hot minute  – by the chili  peppers….   some think that this is the weakest Chili’s album, but I disagree Dave Novarro adds some depth on this one.

Songs from the deep forest,  – Duke Special. Whoa there, a blast from a different era, I think, Worth it for, Wake Up Scarlett, on its own !!!

Audioslave, – Audioslave …   Just a great album , turn up Cochise loud and enjoy !

 

There’s a busy road near where I work,

There is a crossing, half way down with a priority to traffic, going towards town,

but I have been in situations where on coming traffic also drive at the gap !!  

but when I flashed him, ( my headlights ) He stopped and told me to use my eyes,

 ( i shall not tell you my response ! )

   My collegue had the same experience, and the woman driver actually shouted through the window saying that the sign was optional !!!  OPTIONAL ???

  Perhaps people just do not know the high way code ?

It’s strange, but all roads ( musically ) seem to return to the Chili’s

They are a band I Never tire of, I discovered them via, BloodSugarSexMagic, and never looked back,

 Though I do like their early stuff, and wish they would reflect this live a little more.

 I read Anthony Kiedis Auto-biog last year and played the albums as I read the book, which gave ana amazing insight into the albums.

I have just bought their greatest hits on dvd, because their videos are amazing, and always totally different from the run of the mill rock rubbish !

Chickenfoot are great, But I hope the hiatus will end soon, as the world needs the chili’s back !

I have tried gardening with D,

it worked, she is interested.

so on saturday J had gone shopping so I thought we would make some buns, ( cupcakes to D )

And it went quite well,,,,,,   D was very keen to stir, and generally put thing in the bowl……   several times, (whether she thought the packet was not quite empty i’m not sure !! )

So tonight I thought we would make some jam tarts, and keep the ball rolling !!!

 

 D, picked up the phone last night and pretended to dial some numbers,

I grabbed the phone and put it down

then 5 minutes later, the phone rang, 

The emergency services

Wanting to know if someone had dialled them and put the phone down….

Did they believe me, when I said it was my 2 yr old ???

Hope so !

 

Saw the new Lost Prophets sing Where we belong yesterday on Scuzztv,

If the album is as gud as the single, it will be very good !

 and i’m not that big a lost prophets fan, ( bar the first album )

 

 

 My daughter has been getting clingy,

as in won’t let me or J go to the kitchen, ( even though she can see us )

Things came to a head yesterday, when she burst into tears and blurted out “I’m scared of the blinds “……   ok I said, why ?

“because of the dark, i’m scared of the dark !”

( I can see she takes after her mother, and will keep worries bottled up, till they explode )

 I nearly welled up..  and frantically tried to thing of a solution, this is about the first time that D has come to me with a problem like this,

 I showed her the night light ( well grow bag egg ) but does the same job,  but it didn’t really comfort her, so it will be trial and error, with that,

The comforting that I gave didn’t really seem to help either, but then again she is a pretty clever 2 1/2 yr old, adult answers only do the trick , so I darent patronise her with cover stories,  For instance she is in her “why” stage, yesterday I said ” why do you ask so many questions ” to which she asked ” should I not ask so many questions?” to which I said ” yes” keep asking …thats how you learn,

 i think just keep up with the comforting for now , and see how we go !

If I see more rain, i’ll ???????

but it could be worse I could live in Northumberland !, Britain as a nation, just aren’t ready for these weather events !!

we should be !

Thank you to OurWednesday.com for the headline, ( I borrowed it)  the new community website for Sheffield Wednesday fans,

 I have been thinking about this in terms of football, and also sport in general,

What MAKES you support or follow a certain team?

Where you live, a certain player, runs in the family, glory hunter, team shirt, name etc etc etc

I follow a team with arguably one of the oddest names in British football, Sheffield Wednesday, my dad has followed them all his life, and I remember my first game against Crystal palace in 1981.

And I never looked back…….

though often looked down, when relegation loomed !!

I have only known 2 people change “loyalties” to a football team, and one of those was because he moved to another city.

And do you follow a second team , ? Almost all football fans seem to have a “second”, and the same for foreign teams. !

what makes you so “dye in the wool” for a certain team?

 Overall cases were down last month

BUT deaths in 1-4 yr olds were up, closely followed by under 14 yrs olds.

the dilema I, (we) face is what to do about the vaccine for these age groups,

 Do you get your child the imunisation knowing that 1) it has not been fully tested and the side affects are not really known, ?  2) the correct dosage for children is not known either !

 OR  Do you keep on doing what you are doing, trying to be careful, and hope your child does not get it !

 Choices are hard sometimes, and there does not seem to be all the facts to hand, to make an educated decision .

I worry
