Microscopic things

Today we looked at pond scum - its amazing how much life there is in a bucket of dirty water. And interesting how many kids are fascinated with it.

There is a breed of person who joins the military and stays, and when they leave (or the military throws them out) it remains the center of their life. Cversations with these people revolve around "When they were in..." . I've noticed officers seem to be more prone to not getting over their military careers - wonder why that is?

We are drowning in unfiled pieces of paper. They irritate the crap out of me. I like papers that need actioning to be actioned and then filed. If they don't need actioning, they either get binned or filed. If they need to be actioned in the future, they should be the only ones not in the file. Round here, the round file and the stuff that needs to be filed are getting mixed because I have not got round to the job, and then the baby plays with them. I'm just off to fix one of the things that is stressing me.

Bye

There should be a rule along the lines of, "Any piece of paper sufficiently gnawed by an infant does not have to be dealt with."

Of course, in that case, I'd have a whole lot of GST returns that I'd want to hand over for "treatment". ;)

Pond scum is cool!! I love the microscopic plants that move and catch the microscopic animals!
