"To see or not to see "!

A few days ago I watched a program about the connection between one's eyes and one's brain hosted by Alan Yentob which I found most interesting. It discussed colour blindness and the various degrees that one can have if one is at all colour blind.
I was talking about the program to a friend of mine the next day who was colour blind (what luck!) and who had been in the Airforce in the last war. He obviously new a lot about the subject and told me that one can be totally colourblind. The really interesting thing then that he told me was that in the war airmen who were totally colour blind were sought after .
Guess why ? To be flown over enemy lines and to look for camouflaged buildings, and of course they couldn't see the various colours of the camouflage but only the buildings etc hidden beneath
I hope you found this interesting ? I did !

Your computer,friend or foe?

If you are a blog reader you may recall a blog that I wrote last year about a time I stayed with my son and his wife in their house in the country. As how we were peacefully having tea and hordes of police arrived and started to walk over the fields digging in various places, apparently looking for the missing body of a wife of a suspect man in the village,with no result.
You may be pleased to hear that the suspect man is now in prison with a few years ahead of him to regret his crime. And amazingly how he was convicted eventually was because he was so stupid as to put on his computer "Ways to commit a murder and not be found out." And he had various methods printed out. Where he got them I cannot imagine.

A Lament

My computer is in love with the google,

But I'm afraid that he doesn't love me.

How I wish that I was a google

And had all that love that I see.

Face and Laugh

Walter is right, we must have a happy face and laugh as much we can. "Laugh" is an anecdote to overcome depression, sadness and misery. Say HA HA HA HA . Possible a lot of people may not agree, but that is my own opinion! Lily, Araceli and Veronica endorse my thinking.

Laugh to get better

Seen on the side of a van in central London: " Turn that frown upside down" It made my day... I suggest that you Say it! Shout it! Make it global. Put it on your mail. Your contribution to a peaceful universe... Walter Vego

The Orange Street Church

The Church was founded in 1693 by Huguenot refugees, who fled from France at the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes.

In 1776 the Chapel passed into the hands of the Church of England.

In 1787 the Chapel was then passed into the hands of the Congregationalists.

Adjoining the Chapel was Sir Issac Newton's House, which was condemned in 1913.

Friendly neighbours?!

I say friendly and I'm sure they would be if I actually met them face to face! I will explain. I live in a very nice flat in a nice street but at times I wish I was in the depths of the country. It is like "Big Brother". I feel that the entire day someone is looking at me. No, I'm not going bonkers! Why I feel this is because opposite me lives someone who obviously enjoys smoking and, at fairly short intervals through the day, they open the window and lean right out with their cigarette and have a good look around. The first time is when I am sitting at my dressing doing my face and hair right in my own bedroom window! And the last time in the day is when I'm sitting in a wing chair in the drawingroom with the light over me reading my book. You will say, if you can be bothered to read all this, " Why can't I move my dressingtable and chair"? But I can't, there's no other place to put them! You will say "Net curtains"? No Way!
