Lucy Has The Most Wonderful Dreams

Tuesday 1st of November

I saw a rabbit I walked up to it but when I walked up to it I saw something glowing in it's hand I snugged up to it and we went to a noter world it was sandy in the world it looked like a beach but before me and Jack Jack got to move Jack Jack told me that there was a pirate coming.

Chapter 2

The Party with the pirates

When we awoke me and Jack Jack where in cabins I remembered where we were so we tried to get out of the cabins but we couldn't get out before we got to say anything a pirate saw us . We couldn't move cos the pirate had already roped us up. The pirates were going to kill us the Captain saved our lives because he wanted people for his party the food was haddock, cod, sammon, and sardines. Just then the stone began to glow.

Chapter 3

Jack Jack took me to the secret room the secret room had a house in it with me and Jack Jack as toys U wanted ti get out of the secret room, but Jack Jack said No, no do not go out of the secret room you will fall into space because we are floating into space and earth is not in line with us a lamp rocket is lifting us into space.and we are going to the moon, very fast zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom, I said yes very very very very very very fast zoom zoom I said this is a fun trip yippee, oo ahhh. Jack Jack said we are at the moon now ok you then you cos I am hungry and desperate for the loo Jack jack said

good cos there is a loo and a restaurant so we went into the restaurant, then I figured out that it was an unclean restaurant and decided to not eat any of the food because it was poo and there was quiet a party with lots of alien dogs that bring the human poo into the restaurant but the aliens eat human poo so we went to earth and then I figured out the adventures were not real and jack jack was just a picture on the wall I was sad but it was time to get ready for school we did history, science and sports afterwards I went home and watched the Mysterious Cities of Gold with my mum but then I just remembered I didn't tell Jack Jack what I had to tell him. I had to tell him how old I am but he wasn't there. I was sad and I am six. So I went to sleep but he wasn't there it was just black then I recognised that it had to be night so I went to be early because it was din dins time

Spotty Dotty Madness

One Year of Guitar Playing…

So it is a year since I decided to actually learn the guitar properlly and to practice each day rather than having a guitar sitting there gathering dust with like three strings on it - on which I could pluck (when it had all the strings obviously) the intro to Nothing Else Matters and play one Tori Amos song very slowly and very badly.

I was going to upload several videos but then Alaric pointed out that I might as well just up load the only one of my songs I have guitar stuff worked out for - it is the one I played at the open mike earlier this year.

I'm afraid the singing (and indeed in many places the guitar playing) is a little iffy, and no doubt the song will have song writers rolling their eyes. But I'm proud of having written this song and having guitar music for it

I also happen to have a small seven month old person trying to rip my boot off whilst I am playing!

What is a Garden for?

To me a garden is an extention of home, and once you have kids this means it is primarialy somewhere for them to play, grow and develop = toys slides, swings, paddling pools, bikes and the like. Economy over asthetics comes in at this point ie they are most likely to be bright plastic faded in third hand use but the kids don't care and may even prefer it to the hidden away fits with the garden furniture wooden stuff that you need a small mortgate to buy!

Secondly the garden is somewhere the family should enjoy - I favour eating outside which I start doing as soon as I can tolorate the cold and I only stop when the autumn winds start blowing the table over! This means things like BBQ's, tables, seats and preferably fiary lights. Given my own way there would be a perminent brick built thing with and eating bar and everything.

Thirdly the garden is for relaxing in, this means reading or sitting quietly and watching the bunny rabbit hop about. A nice summer house complete with bar would be the apex of this but again your looking at ouchy money and a 15 quid gazebo from Argos will do for now.

Fourthly - if there is room growing fruit and veg and maybe having a few ducks is the sort of thing I like. In times of food shortages, economic crises and war I would expect this to be bumped up to first.

Fifthly becuase I can I work in the garden as in drawing and writing.

And because I have children I would think it essential to give them little areas to plant flowers and vegetables - complete with garden fairies and boot flower pots. The tackier the better in my opinion as long as the kids like it.

This brings us round to garden appearance - this is not what I concider a high priority - it would be nice to have it all looking swanky but really I would be happy with just neat and tidy. To me flowers are like having matching couch covers and curtains - nice but not the sort of thing I'll fret over.

They are something you bother with once you've done everything else. Gardens should not be burdens they should be enjoyed.

Fithly to me a garden is somewhere you can if you have time and space bring a bit of nature to the man made landscape that is by necessaty our homes - everybodies because farms and gardens are not natural - they too are man made and managed. Gardens are one of the most artificial things there are - just think about the plants you grow there - most of them can't even produce viable off spring.

It's nice to bring nature in for the kids but again it has to be in a way that suites the persons time table and tastes.

Jean and Mary are lucky that they get to fish frog spawn out of the pond (well Jean does and I assume Mary will!) and jump streams but I feel that they should have within the context of the time and society we live in things like slides and swings. If I had my own way there would be a bark chip area specifically for this but I don't.

Cult Fiction

As I mentioned before I have postponed my birthday until the summer and Alaric is organising me a 30th birthday party on the theme of cult fiction. We have settled on the date of the weekend 17th-19th of June. Al is going to be making an electonic invite page etc... and I will get around to facebook invites and things (but obviously if I've forgotten you then I probably think I've already invited you so prod me!).

Even though Al said he would organise everything I really wanted to do some sort of picture for the theme for the invites - hence the picture at the top. I just thought I'd share it all and give you all fair warning too

Who knows if I get time I might even print out some invites

The picture itself is ment as a frame from text saying things like 30th Birthday etc... When I it is themed I mean I want an excuess to ware a corset I am hoping that someone will bring a projector too so I can have my favourite films etc... running.

If you want to know more ask Al as he is organiser
