Baby Baby Baby

I discovered something last week
After 21 weeks babies have rapid eye movement (REM); a key component to any healthy baby's sleep schedule, that indicates they're now capable of dreaming.
What can they possibly dream about? They have no idea about life outside the womb. No dreams of ginger bread houses and fun things like that.
So dreaming of being upside down in the womb us the best it gets for the soon to be new born baby.
Inside the womb the baby at 21 weeks will have very thin skin that is very red and translucent, and a bit wrinkled. So they will kind of resemble E.T's glowing red finger.



It's memory also develops at this stage, like with the dreaming, it can't be much use to the baby, it's like having a super power that you can't use. Like penguins having wings but not being able to fly.
Surely the big man above should of switched on dreaming and memory for babies once they are born. Why waste it before when they will lose it 80 years on in their life!

On a separate note, while looking for a picture of E.T's finger I saw this....



Not sure who this is aimed for?
Children or Adults?

Fixture Eve

Tomorrow is when the English Football fixtures are released.
In a year with no World Cup or European Championship, this day couldn't come sooner.
It's like Christmas Eve for fans of newly promoted teams but for relegated teams it's like hell on earth. Checking out the fixture list to see a visit to Carlisle on a Tuesday night rather than a trip to glamour club.
Holidays, Weddings and lots more things are arranged AROUND this list of football fixtures.



The big dates - Opening day fixture, Boxing day, Easter and the last game of the season, which could be all important depending if your teams gunning for promotion or fighting to survive.
Could this be the year for your club?
Or another season that your not looking forward to?



Tomorrow morning will decide my holidays and my away day adventures, depending if it's a midweek game or a Saturday game.

All will be revealed tomorrow morning, I can't wait!

Cereal Joy Killers

I opened my box of Kellogg's cornflakes this morning and felt that there was something missing . Remember years ago when in a box of cereal you could get a free toy or even further back, tokens to send off for a little model van.
These days the most fun you get from a box of cereal is 25% extra free. Or now the only way to get anything is txt a number and you might win a prize.

The fun you had routing through a box of cereal with your hand trying to feel the plastic wrapper containing the toy. You would sometimes even pull the cereal bag out of the box to look and see where the hell it was if you couldn't find it by touch.
Plus you were never allowed to open the new box of cereal unless the current box was finished. This caused problems if a cool toy was inside the new box.



There were ways to get around this... Empty what little was left into the bottom of the box & leave it near the bin.
Pour it with milk into a bowl and just leave it so it goes soggy & then say your not eating it now.
Or best of all make chocolate cornflake cakes, which is a win win situation, you get to eat them plus they're used up the box so that means the new box can be opened & the toy can be had!
They need to bring them back and stop being such cereal joy killers. Fun for all the Family, who doesn't like being sprayed by a water pistol type toy at 7am when you've just woke up?
