A philosophical question.....if a philosopher says IF YOU CAN NOT SEE IT THEN IT IS NOT THERE why is it that if I do not look at my feet they are still cold?
Why if I can not see a baby dying of malnutrition and disease does it still happen?
Why if I can not see our guinea pigs do they still squeak for endless supplies of food every time they hear me, surely they do not exist?
That premise would surely mean that all racists, bigots and all other nasty people do not exist because I can not see them!
Oh I so wish the last were true.
I am again awake pre-Beauty, I awoke feeling so hot that I couldn't stay in bed a second longer.So I got up and came downstairs and now I am freezing my arse of with the cold.
6am is definitely to early to be getting all philosophical!
My neck is again communicating with me, it is positively srceaming at me and is there a Pollyanna-ism that I can take from this?
I suppose there is the fact that I can still feel my neck whilst some poor people can't .....I know.....yeh pretty lame and poncy so how about if I punched my least favourite person in the head the pain couldn't get any worse! Hardly the spirit of Pollyanna-isms I hear you saying but there isn't anyone who I dislike enough to punch.....wow I am certainly mellowing with age.
I was wrong, there are many people on the Amnesty International website that I could cheerfully punch, there..... so not so mellow really.
Yet again I wish that Brownies lived in my house, I wish that I could wake up and find the house clean and all the washing washed, dried and folded. Yeh and man might land on the moon.........
I have to pick up my new glasses this morning so the housework will have to wait a little, they are lilac.
Beauty's child minder(I love this woman, I couldn't live without her) is going on holiday next week and so Beauty had 2 sessions this week instead of 1.They went out on Saturday and Sunday and it was bliss, with all my wonderful plans in the end I just fell asleep and it was fantastic but I did however find time to eat half a packet of chocolate Hobnobs.......mmmmmmm.
Yesterday afternoon as a treat I took Beauty to Smyth's the toy shop but when we got there she was napping and refused to wake up and go into the shop so I went to Hobby Craft which is just close by and bought some wool for my scarf knitting.
MY LATEST KNITTING CREATION
I went to Hobby Craft to buy black wool but I couldn't resist buying this wool, it is lovely to knit with and the colours are beautiful.
This is the latest baby basket, it was for SnoWhite's maths tutor, they just had another baby boy.Fiona was appalled that I should give away such a beautiful tin wash tub but they were on sale and cheaper than baskets.

the treats are obviously not for the baby(who has not been named yet) but the other children.
It must be something in the air or water locally but my list of baby baskets to make is increasing steadily.

Philosophers go around with their eyes closed and so rarely see reality. Don't beleive a word they say!
My daughter Sali who is studying philosophy as part of her studies says and I quote IT IS ALL A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS AND DOES HER HEAD IN!
Charming child.
