Perfect weekend

What a great weekend! It has been one of those weekends when nothing was planned and everything just fell into place without any real effort. To start with the weather was fantastic, more like May than early April and as most of what we needed to do was in the garden it made the jobs much easier. Saturday was spent tiding up the greenhouse and sorting out the seed planting. We also managed to get in a quick walk as well, one of many over the weekend. Sunday again started with an early walk then home in time to watch the GP, Mr Button doing a fantastic job for the second week running (So good to see that its back on the BBC). I then went totally out of character and washed my car, some thing I normally do just before I sell it, but it was just so nice a day and the car looked grubby. I then cooked pancakes for an early lunch before heading back for some more gardening. To end the day we had a quick walk which ended up at my brothers with a very cold can of larger, super! The only down side to the whole weekend was the continual text messages from a close friend who was climbing some of the best mountains in the Lake District in perfect weather, there is always someone who has to go one better!
Photo today is of a frog looking out from a pool full of frog spawn, this was taken on a path up in the Lakes in March.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever
