Woken by howls of hysteria as a child had trodden on a splinter downstairs. However, as soon as it had blown up it subsided when the shock of a small pain went away ago. Maybe it was practice for the Drama Festival later today?
So I got up and had breakfast and then went back to finish off a NewScientist before taking the dramatic child off to the University to do a dress rehersal, at 10.15. I took in my laptop and plugged in (with permission!) to reply to an email enquiry about successful usage of 'dalek' bins. The dress rehersal didn't take long and I only managed the one email reply... although it was quite a detailed one...
My son emerged elated and happy, all had gone well. A happy cycle home, in time for me to catch the last bits of Countryfile and the weather forecast for the week ahead.
Lunch went quickly and 2pm approached all to soon, so we all set out on our bikes to go to the Central Hall for the Citywide Youth Drama Festival, based on the Mystery Plays.
When we arrived, my son had forgotten the bear mask and dummy that Gill made as part of his costume... so I cycled back home and got them and cycled back to the University in time for the first performance, which was from another school, not my children's.
So we all watched the different performances and were glad that our boy's one went well just before the interval. I took the youngest one home and Gill stayed there to see the other 4 performances. I got home and made pasta and veg, and some carrot soup for tomorrow.
During the evening, discovered this http://www.dothegreenthing.com/ but didn't have as much time as I'd have liked to explore it... may go back to it...

Hi John, I've just e-mailed you with a CompostFlow query. Let me know here if you didn't get it!
I can't believe what a small world this is. Something about the name 'Professor Fiddlesticks' rang a bell so I checked out your website and realised we'd met! Last year at the Stockton Riverside Festival my son's girlfriend took a photo of you on your unicycle with two children and you asked her to send you a copy. We kept repeating your e-mail address to each other all the way back to the pub but whether Vicky remembered it in the end and sent the phot, I don't know!
Hi Lily, I did get your email about your losing money to the CompostFlow company and I hope the information I gave you helps.
As for Prof. Fiddlesticks, I do get around a lot but I don't remember getting a photo... I'd love to have it!
Thanks and good luck, John
Hi John, you should be able to get to my blog now by clicking on 'Lily' again. I used Directgov's Action on CO2 Calculator to depress myself. I'm hoping that by hanging on to my bulky old desktop computer and hard drive instead of upgrading to a laptop, I'm reducing my e-carbon footprint, what do you think?! This is my third attempt at keeping a blog going, I wish I hadn't given up on the previous two - now I would have liked to look back on a couple of years of posts to see what I was doing/thinking then. Regrets, I have a few...
