The letter "J"
I've just realised that the names of all fictional captains begin with the letter "J": - JAMES T Kirk (Star Trek Original) - JEAN-Luc Picard (Star Trek TNG) - Kathryn JANEWAY (Star Trek Voryager) - JONATHAN Archer (Star Trek Enterprise) - A slight deviation, but BenJAMIN Sisco (Star Trek DS9) - JOHN Sheridan (Babylon 5) - JACK Sinclair (Babylon 5) - JACK O'Neill (Stargate SG-1) - JOHN Shepherd (Stargate Atlantis) - JACK Sparrow (Pirates) Is the letter "J" a letter of leadership and power? |

Error
Today I had planned to go to a meeting in Richmond. With the idiotic wisdom of someone who knows she has no sense of direction, I decided to cut across Wimbledon Common on my bicycle. I was then lost on the Common for a period of one and a half hours. I was eventually saved through recognition of a path I had run along from the rugby club. I found my way back to the rugby club, and from there to home. The whole Richmond meeting idea had to be abandoned for there was no way to get to Richmond :( I conclude that the only way out of Wimbledon Common is via the rugby club. There must be one other way in as I didn't enter via the rugby club, but that must be the only way out for if there were another one, I'd have been able to find it in an hour and a half, wouldn't I? |

WRFC v The Base Elements
We have in our possession various videos taken during the course of Andy's and my wedding celebrations. Five of these contain musical performances. Oh good, you may say, some recordings of the Base Elements during their inaugural gig, or perhaps of some of the many excellent mucisicans who performed during the ceremony. But in fact, not one of the video contributors chose to shoot these superior musicians. Instead, in all their glory, are the Wimbledon Ladies Rugby Team performing: "Don't Stop Believin'" (obviously a favoured rendition to that performed earlier in the evening by the Base Elements), "Sweet Child of Mine" and "On the Common". So the results are in: WRFC 5 The Base Elements 0 |

Poetry Corner
The Water Fights Can a river outdo the sea In trying to be the greatest? The sea grows angry Fights the river And floods the river out. Now the river is the greatest After that fierce fight Ships and ferries Fishermen's boats Sail on rivers now. Then sudenly the stream joins in Decides to challenge the river The river surges Draining it With the outgrowing tide. Now the stream is the greatest After that large fight Ships and ferries Fishermen's boats Sail on streams now. Now the rain thinks a lot Doesn't like things as they are Starts to pour Washes away The stream and river and sea. |

Poetry Corner
Make use of the snow That's glittering bright In the nice sunshine And by the light of the moon. Play with the snow Or clear it away Do what you want In your own garden. The wind is howling Through the trees The birds are fleeing Because of the cold. The snow is a white sheet That makes you cold We'll all throw snowballs Until we get soaking wet. There is a blizzard There's too much snow It is too deep And so we can't get to school. And... ...so It is so cold It is such fun Enjoy it all Everyone! The trees are like skeletons In the morning dew People throw snowballs Bu that won't upset you! |

Elm Hillympics
I was just sorting through my grandmother's old hairdryers, and I've come across the scoresheets from the great 1992 Elm Hillympics. It is a fascinating glimpse of history. A few extracts for your pleasure: TENNIS SINGLES: Alexander: GOLD Mummy: SILVER LONG WALKING COMPETITION Daddy: GOLD No other entrants COOKING COMPETITION Nanny: Gold Olivia: Silver Mummy: Bronze TREASURE HUNT COMPETITION Olivia and Mummy: GOLD Nanny and Alexander: ELIMINATED on account of cheating BLACKBERRY PICKING COMPETITION Daddy: GOLD Mummy and Olivia: SILVER Nanny: BRONZE COMPOST MOVING COMPETITION No results posted NETTLE CUTTING COMPETITION Cancelled due to lack of competitors I think I should pass this on to Boris and the 2012 Olympics committee for a few ideas of sports to consider. |

HUGH
I've just put a poster of Hugh Laurie above my bed. But I haven't used much blue tack in the hope that tomorrow morning I can update my Facebook status to say that Hugh Laurie fell on me in the night. |

Poor Ziggy
Ziggy has died already :( She was only three weeks old. Now I have Gushi. She is female, unlike the other Gushi. |

courier new
In a New York moment, as I was setting off for the airport, I realised that I had left my luggage in the car of a friend who was now on her way to a whisky festival. The subject line is misleading, as in the end no courier new was needed, as Elmari kindly rushed back to deliver the luggage (without stopping off to buy a book on the way). Hee |

Lions and biscuits
Today I have been cuddling lions and watching a nice warthog family on a Sunday afternoon walk. In other news, I still haven't finished my packet of biscuits. |

Biscuit riddle.
There is an alternative explanation to my packet of biscuits having an infinite number of biscuits in it. It could be that my appetite is less fewer smaller in South Africa. But that just seems so unlikely. |

Biscuits
Here in South Africa, they have packets of ginger nuts which last for an infinite amount of time! Well, at least one packet anyway. I've never found even one in the UK. |

I think I'm going to start with Black Books, as I just happen to have a bottle of red wine on me. (On me, sir?) |

A different way to use Skype
I could see but not hear Daddy and he could hear but not see me. So I did the out-loud talking and Daddy held up bits of paper with messages written on them :)) Meanwhile, Mummy AIMed me. Isn't communication great? |

New bicycle discovery!
I've discovered that a bad thing to do when hurtling down a mountain on a bicycle at a scarily fast speed is to break. This causes the bike to do what it is meant to do when the breaks are activated: stop. However, this does not cause the person riding the bike to stop. Instead, the person riding the bike continues to hurtle down the mountain. It is of course fortuitous that both a helmet and a back protector were part of the mountain biking package. SO: Fun was definitely had. MORAL: Do not break. Hurtling whilst on a bike is better for you than hurtling off a bike. |
