Is it now is it now is it now?

Milestone this week: my nephew and niece started school, and being the brave little folk that they are, the twins boldly ventured forth into separate classes.

When they visited over the summer, we put on a teeny snippet of Midsummer Night's Dream, so that they could take part as fairies (well, technically speaking: a fairy and a Spiderman, who was disguised in Thomas the Tank Engine gear). I basically napped, woke up, and called the fairies out. Then we all took our bows, to rapturous applause.



The expression on my niece's face is priceless: waiting for her cue, her little fairy wings quivering with anticipation...

Can you imagine how exciting Day One of School must have been :-)

I always thought that the guys who wrote Monsters Inc were on to something. Imagine harnessing all that excitement and energy as a power source? And having met the particular neice and nephew, I suspect that a certain family would be generating enough power to have OPEC worried!

When we were kids, we joked about tying a teatowel to the ever-wagging tail of our springer spaniel, but this would be something more subtle I imagine: blue tooth tech, perhaps triggered by seratonin levels, hmm... we may need to prove String Theory in order to tap into the right reality, but this has possibilities.
