Plastic slinkys !!!

Today a young girl who was the daughter of a visitor to the farm this Easter had the modern version of a  "slinky " with her . It was no longer made of metal , but plastic and multi-coloured . It was too light to go slinking down the stairs like the old ones of my day , in fact it couldn't do much other than yo-yo . Another child hood toy re-invented and ruined..... All was not lost however as on leaving the girl quoted me saying to her Grandad    "  The slinky needs to be round , longer and made of metal ! "  Well they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery . Yeah that made me smile , and not much has recently !!!  Mmmm getting sentimental eh ? Well thats a new one. Must be my recent fatherhood .....

Day 3 without fb !

Well i cant stress how different life feels not looking at the devils networking site  . I find myself with more time and less moody . I only feel a small urge to take a peek but im fascinated about how much this has been affecting me over the past year . I feel like im in a mental version of lent , but for how long i have no idea ! Well thats as close as i can to find words to describe what im trying to achieve.....and then there's all the guff you talk on facebook , when all you want is approval !!! Well dont we all ???  Denail could be the new ROCK'N ROLL........
