Sugar Mountain’s Neighborhood

After school today TJ got changed into his Jedi outfit plus waistcoat and tie??  I wanted to get a photo of the outfit but the light wasn't very good and I ended up with a blurry image.

TJ was keen to show off his skills with a lightsabre so we turned the lights down, shut the door and had a play at long exposures and sweeping lightsabre moves.

I didn't have the tripod set up but I think I did quite well on keeping the camera still, even if TJ looks like a ghost.

If I had a life I wouldn't have time to tell you about it :D

17:15 TJ is dipping apple and grapes in BBQ sauce. Euww

clipped from www.sciencedaily.com ScienceDaily (Nov. 25, 2009) — A cancer vaccine carried into the body on a carefully engineered, fingernail-sized implant is the first to successfully eliminate tumors in mammals, scientists recently reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The new approach, pioneered by bioengineers and immunologists at Harvard University, uses plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin to reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors. The new paper describes the use of such implants to eradicate melanoma tumors in mice. The slender implants developed by Mooney's group are 8.5 millimeters in diameter and made of an FDA-approved biodegradable polymer. Ninety percent air, the disks are highly permeable to immune cells and release cytokines, powerful recruiters of immune-system messengers called dendritic cells.

We didn't get shopping this Monday 'cause LJ wasn't well so that's what we were doing this morning.

I let LJ lose with my camera and this is one of the shots he took.  Not too bad in my opinion.

I like letting him play with the camera.  He can get away with taking photos of anything and everything without getting odd looks or being told off by other shoppers.

I couldn't resist taking todays photo.  We've just been out to pick TJ up from school and the boys disappeared upstairs to get changed out of school and nursery uniforms.

LJ came downstairs looking like this.  Wearing nothing but his socks, underpants (sideways??) and his little old lady Buff.  Very amusing.

There is actually a reason, his Spiderman costume is down here and he's about to get changed it's just the image of him semi naked but with the Buff (which he calls his Spiderman 'cause you can pull it up over your mouth and nose to look like a spiderman mask)

The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. (shroud.com)

Mine is slightly less impressive but fun me thinks,  LJ thinks it's a ghost and I'm inclined to agree with him.

It is infact the baking tray the pork chops we had for dinner today were cooked on.  After the foil was removed this is the fat that had settled underneath it.

What can you see in it?  Do you have your own versions of hidden images?

If I had a life I wouldn't have time to tell you about it :D

09:54 Going to see the headmaster is just as nervewracking when you're the parent!

Last night, while eating Habibi's cooking, she recounted the following adventure she had when buying mushrooms for this dish she made.

I bought this same mushroom, one very, very cheap from Don Quijote, the other expensive from this market here. I thought, "why one cheap, one expensive?" then I came home I opened the package, one mushroom looks like this (she sits up straight and makes a big happy smiling face) the other one look like this (scrunches up her face and slouches over)."

I couldn't stop laughing. I've never seen a smiling mushroom. Except on Super Mario.
I finally took back some of the dresses NPF returned to me (well, left in a corner on the floor for me to take home without ever saying a word of thank you or even telling me she brought them back for me). Oh my GOD, they smelled bad. So, so, bad.

If I had a life I wouldn't have time to tell you about it :D
