There is a parallel universe where the women in the above pictures are lusting over pics of us - that's where I want to live :)
There's another one where Bella Emberg and Anne Widdicombe are an item. Poor Bella - she could do so much better :D

Attended a baptism at Westminster Cathedral, London this morning.
At my time in life I seem to be going to more funerals than weddings or baptisms, so it was nice to see someone at the start of their life's journey, rather than the end. :)
Not Hi-Fi, but on ebay, so I'll mention it here. There's a nice semi-pro Nikon P6000 13.5mp compact camera on ebay that looks as though it's going cheap.

It's a quality bit of kit. I've got one!
Parents run ragged by their children may have suspected it all along.
Youngsters have greater*energy levels than professional endurance athletes, scientists have discovered, meaning it is virtually impossible for the average adult to keep up.
And for mothers and fathers hoping that tiring out their little ones will ensure a good night’s sleep, be warned.
Children also have a impressive recovery time, and will be back to their hyperactive best quicker than parents can say ‘lie in.’
“We found the children used more of their aerobic metabolism and were therefore less tired during the high-intensity physical activities," said Sebastien Ratel, *Associate Professor in Exercise Physiology who completed this study at the Université Clermont Auvergne, France.
Now you know its not just you...
Well it is here. Just me, on my own and not a child in sight.................or anyone else. Lovely! :)Quote:

This will ensure that there are no distractions, and that they can concentrate simply on getting a good night's sleep, at a hopefully respectable hour! The effect of any other 'distractions', no matter their energy levels, I'm afraid pales into insignificance;)

When our eldest was little, there were no smartphones, tablets or anything of that nature, nor did she have a TV in her room. But she seemed to never sleep. Every night she'd go to bed at a reasonable time; every night she'd come trailing downstairs several times before finally settling down. Even now, however late she's been out, she'll be up at six to go to the gym. I don't know where she gets it from; her younger sister is almost as lazy as me. My eldest sister was another non-sleeper, and also a sleep-walker. By contrast, I was so quiet that my mother took me to the doctor's because she was worried that I didn't cry as much as my sisters had.Quote:
