Reverse celebrity spotting for the win. A friend of mine keeps seeing Sansa Stark in Sainsbury's. I have no idea why that is relevant, or needed saying, but I just wanted to be involved. |

It's a form of cloud computing (which is a form of computing) but geographically nearer to the user. That allows it to get the information back faster. |

More dwarf fax! Alan Rickman auditioned for the part of Rimmer, as did Alfred Molina. Rickman was also interested in playing Lister. That would have been a very different show, eh? //edit: Got my fax wrong, curse you! |

To stop the wolves and other predators from getting into your cave, I’d guess. Also, my bedroom curtains are heavier than the ones in the rest of the house so it stops light leaking in from the pesky 4:30am morning. |

I’m teaching Darwin (3) about body privacy at the moment. At the same time we are also learning about trees in our walks to nursery. At the same time Darwin seems to have woken up to how stunningly beautiful his mummy is and how she dresses so fine. So, this has all got a bit confused. He knows that a woman’s chest should be private. But it also got a bit confused with the naming of trees. And how we wear clothes, so he keeps saying things like: ‘mummy, I love your rainbow jumper. It is so beautiful and so soft when you wear it on your big chestnuts’. |
