    Snap, one of the one year old great nephews who we saw today is walking, the other standing up at least. I told their parents as we will be looking after them for a few hours in a couple of weeks to not allow them to walk until after their visit to our place. Clearly my request was ignored and I'm now fitness training to be able to catch them.

    But you don't have to worry, just sit back and and let others chase them.

      Get your skates on Andrew! Ha Ha. Wait until they realise they can now reach much more stuff that they shouldn't touch.

    Oh, THAT is competition. The "bad" side of having a sibling... Expectations are high...
    I hope they´ll always help each other... And are proud of each other!

      Iris; I think they will always be close and help each other. When they were in the same crib they would hold hands as they slept.

      yellowdoggranny; I don't have any, I live too far away, and the parents weren't ready with their phones when she walked those few steps.

    That IS breaking news! Congrats to Ana, and looking forward to Gen's milestone. Like you said, it probably won't be long. I'm sure you will keep us posted.

      Val; I was so surprised to get the message from my son, but he wasn't quick enough to capture it on video. Gen will be toddling around soon too.

Words for Wednesday

Image
  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.

Sunday Selections #754

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?

Image
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought?  If yes, why buy it?  If no, then how was it stored in the home environment?  Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when  food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
