Can Electrical Items Talk?

The question is, “Can Electrical Items Talk?”

Now I know that electricity is one form of energy and that everyday objects can change electricity into another form of energy for e.g. using a torch creates light energy, whereas a doorbell creates sound energy.

I’ve even read articles about new technology.

One was about LG and their ‘talking’ washing machine, the other of the Samsung app that can connect to your washing machine letting you select a cycle, even when you’re out.

Also the future of wi-fi enabled washing machines is just the beginning, eventually all the kitchen appliances will be able to communicate with each other and also with you.

Wow, imagine that, whilst you’re at work your washing machine’s having a conversation with your cooker.

However with all the futuristic technology due to burst onto the scene, it appears my washing machine has already received the memo.

For a few months now although infrequent my washing machine beeps to me when doing a wash cycle, sounding off short bursts of beeps for no longer than a minute. It’s as if a coded message is being emitted, but sounds a little like Morse code.

The strange thing is that it only happens when I’m in the kitchen alone. The first time it happened it scared me.

Now when it starts to communicate with a series of beeps, I just say, ‘Hello, how are you,’ then carry on as normal, whilst it happily washes my clothes.

It’s just a shame I don’t understand what it’s trying to say!

Maybe I should learn Morse code, what do you think?

How To Make A Fabulous Pie

I read the children’s book called, ‘Fabulous Pie,’ the other morning.

This colourful children’s book was written by Gareth Edwards and is beautifully illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees.

This story is about a bear that wants to make a fabulous pie but first he needs to find a filling.

The forest animals are happy to help find filling for the pie; berries, hazelnuts, honey and a fish.

But after all their efforts they’re angry that the bear still thinks it’s not full enough and wants something extra.

Unfortunately for them they’re shocked to learn that the something extra is them!

Will the forest animals escape or become pie filling? 

Read the book or watch the story on Youtube then tell me what happens at the end and let me know your favourite pie filling, mines apple.

Are We Ready For Space?

The question is, “Are we ready for Space?”

I understand there’s always the race to be first to go into space to do what no other has done before, but then what?

What is the aim?

Is it to capture and lay claim to a planet?

Then there’s security. How do you secure it from being invaded by another species?

All I see is one big headache.

I believe before we venture into space we should fully explore and unlock the mysteries on our own planet first, for example the oceans and South Pole.

But hey that’s just my opinion.

How To Be An Artist

I read the children’s book called, ‘I m an artist,’ yesterday afternoon.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Marta Altes.

This funny delightful book tells the story of a small boy who sees’s art everywhere.

Inspired by nature, colours, movement, texture and shapes he creates artistic masterpieces in the house much to the dismay of his mum.

But has he gone too far when he creates something special for her?

Hmm I wonder?

It’s a great read it’ll put a smile on your face and the children will love it.

This book encourages imagination and creativity.

Who knows you may even have a little artist in your midst.

So either read the book or watch the story on Youtube, then you can tell me what you think.

Are Obelisks Beacons?

The question is, “Are Obelisks Beacons?”

First of all do you know what an Obelisk is?

An Obelisk is a monolithic stone monument that has four sides with inscriptions made from one piece of stone. There’s usually a pyramidion (a pyramid shape) at the top that’s often topped with gold, or an alloy called electrum.

These were always placed in pairs by the ancient Egyptians at the entrances of their temples; associated with the Egyptian sun god, the rays of the sun increased in width as it reached the Earth.

So with this knowledge, is it possible that the rays of light from the pyramidion acted like beacons to show a landing site or flight path on Earth to those in space?

And as with many historical objects discovered that are now dispersed across the world, maybe with regard to the Obelisks we’ve made it easier for space travellers by mapping out our planet.

But hey what do I know I’m not a scientist.

What's A Splat?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Splat the Cat,’ last week.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Rob Scotton.

It’s a lovely children’s story about a cat called Splat and his first day at cat school.

Splat is worried about his first day at cat school and after making many excuses for why he can’t leave the house he eventually goes taking his friend Seymour the mouse with him.

At cat school Splat makes lots of friends. He likes cat school and is no longer worried.

This is a wonderful book that would be great to read to pre school children.

Remember preparing a child for their first day of school makes it not only an enjoyable experience for them but also a special one for you.

So why not read the book or watch it together on Youtube.

Is There A Face On Mars?

The question is, “Is there a face on Mars?”

When pictures captured by the Viking 1 spacecraft in July 1976 showed an image of a human face two miles long that looked like an Egyptian Pharaoh, scientists were excited, but as usual anything that’s not already written in a book has to be scrutinized by the sceptics.

And so, years later in 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor took a second look taking photographs using the cameras absolute maximum resolution.

These showed that it looked like a butte or mesa (a medium sized hill with vertical steep sides) which easily dismissed the idea of it being a face of any kind, or that the Egyptian’s had created such a figure.

I’ve seen the pictures on the internet for both years 1976 and 2001.

In 1976 the face was more formed, but allow for years of wear and tear from the environment by the time you reach year 2001 some of the features would be destroyed.

Surprisingly the size of the structure remained the same with only the features destroyed, just like the Egyptian Pharaoh’s on our own planet!

In my opinion I believe the Egyptians found away to leave Earth and that’s why faces, pyramids and other structures have been constructed on other worlds in order to confirm this, and that cannot be dismissed by the sceptics.

But hey that’s only my opinion, so what do you think?

Do Cat's Smile?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Nat the Cat’s Sunny Smile,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Jez Alborough.

It’s a delightful rhyming children’s book, about Nat the cat and her sunny smile.

When Nat the cat knocks for her friends Hugo the hare and Billy the goat to go on a picnic they were both having a bad day and refused her invitation, but that didn’t stop Nat the cat she was going to have a picnic anyway.

However Nat the cat finds that it’s not fun having a picnic on your own, she feels lonely and her smile begins to fade. She wanted to share the picnic with her friends.

Then suddenly Hugo the hare and Billy the goat appear, it brings a smile to her face, happy to be together again the friends share the picnic and afterwards they sing a song and play.

It’s a lovely children’s story that encourages friendship and sharing, that I’d recommend reading with young children.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think.

What's A Satellite Killer?

The question is, “What’s a Satellite Killer?”

I was watching NASA’s unexplained files the other evening and they mentioned “Satellite Killers.”

This is basically a space weapon that’s designed to incapacitate or destroy a satellite.

Now I’m not a scientist but the amount of satellites we have in space at the moment is astronomical at approx 2,271 so if there is a satellite killer in the mix wouldn’t they already know, especially if one of their satellites were missing?

However the worse thing is that more than 500,000 pieces of debris is tracked as they orbit the Earth.

So with this knowledge, in my opinion they should forget about the satellite killer and design a satellite dustcart to collect all this rubbish and tidy up the universe before our neighbouring aliens come to visit us.

But that’s only my opinion, what do you think?

What's The Way Back Home?

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Way Back Home,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

It’s a wonderful children’s book that tells the story of a boy that finds an aeroplane in his cupboard.

The boy can’t wait to fly the aeroplane but then it runs out of petrol leaving him stranded on the moon.

He soon finds out that he’s not alone and is surprised to see a Martian.

The boy learns that the Martian is also stranded as his spacecraft is broken.

Unable to leave they become friends and make a plan to fix both machines so they can return home.

It’s a delightful children’s story that encourages imagination, making friends, and working together.

I’d recommend reading with young children.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think.

Does Earth Have Two Moons?

The question is, “Does the Earth have two Moons?”

The short answer is yes.

Apparently we have a “Mini-Moon,” that was discovered on 27^th April 2016 by using the Pan-STARRS 1 asteroid survey telescope on Haleakala in Hawaii.

Named 2016 HO3, this small asteroid orbits the sun and is a continuous companion to Earth. It’s been with us for centuries.

If the conditions are right for Earth to produce life, isn’t it possible for the asteroid to also have some kind of life form?

It’s fair to say that another species could be a lot closer than we thought.

So maybe the next mission in space should be destination mini-moon 2016 HO3, so we can say hello and meet the neighbours.

What's A Flum Flum Tree?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Jack and the Flum Flum Tree,’ the other morning.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by David Roberts.

It’s a delightful children’s story about a boy called Jack and his adventure to find a flumflum tree.

When the only cure for Jacks grannies spots is the fruit from a flumflum tree, he goes on a mission to find one. Taking his friends Rosie and Stu with him and a patchwork sack they travel by sea.

However it’s not long before they have a few problems but Jack’s not worried, he remembers what’s in the patchwork sack and uses the items to help them.

It’s a lovely story that I’d recommend reading with young children.

And if you want to find out what’s in the patchwork sack, read it now or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Is Saturn Communicating With Us?

The question is, “Is Saturn Communicating with us?”

When the Cassini spacecraft reached planet Saturn in April 2002 it detected radio emissions.

I listened to Saturn’s radio emissions on the internet and was surprised as I’d heard something like this before.

Then I remembered, I’d heard similar sounds in the 1956 film called the “Forbidden Planet,” (also known as Fatal Planet) starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen and The Robot (Robby the Robot).

The music and sound effects are very similar created by a husband and wife composers Louis and Bebe Barron. They were pioneers in the field of electronic music.

The short version; by using a circuit called a ring modulator and overloading the circuits until they burned out, they created unique and unpredictable sounds, however these could never be recreated again.

So with all that said, could an advanced species be emitting a soundtrack or are they communicating with us by sending us something sounding similar?

Why not make up your own minds.

Listen to the sounds of Saturn on the internet and watch the film then you can tell me what you think?

My Life As A Chicken!

I read the children’s book called, ‘My Life As A Chicken,’ the other morning. 

This children’s book was written by Ellen A. Kelly and illustrated by Michael Slack.

It's a story about a chicken called Pauline Paulet and her life on a farm.

Then one day when she finds the farmer reading a recipe book and hearing that he wants to make a chicken pie, she gets scared.

Believing that she is to be turned into a pie Pauline escapes through a gate to avoid the dinner plate.

Although now in the woods more danger lurks as each animal she meets wants to eat her for their supper.

Oh no what will she do, will Pauline be saved?

To find out what happens next, either read the book or watch the video on YouTube.

Without giving anything away I will say, there is a happy ending.

It's a delightful book that I'd recommend reading with young children.

Do Space Angels Exist?

The question is, “Do Space Angels Exist?”

I watched a short documentary the other evening about the Russian cosmonauts who were aboard the space station Salyut 7.

In July 1984 it was reported by the Russian cosmonauts that an orange light flooded the space station. They thought it was an explosion, when they looked out the portholes they saw winged entities with human features. Their wings flapped as they hovered just outside the space station.

In July 1984 this information was not made public, and was said at the time that the cosmonauts saw either a satellite moving across giving the appearance of an angel or they were hallucinating.

However the problem with that theory is that unless there were seven satellites moving at the same time close to the space station then it dismisses that idea; as apparently they had seen seven hovering angels with faces?

Now I’m not a scientist or cosmonaut but I do believe in angels.

For these entities to show themselves to the crew I believe they were making it known to them that they were being protected.

But that’s only my opinion, so what do you think?

Children's Books - A Duck For President?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Duck for President,’ the other afternoon.

This children’s book was written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin.

This wonderful children’s book tells the tale of how a duck who hated chores, became a president.

However, he soon finds that it’s much more hard work at the top especially now he’s in charge of a country.

Eventually he leaves, and goes back to the farm to work, but this time in a different capacity.

Now the farmer does the ducks chores, while duck writes his autobiography.

An amusing children’s book that shows what can be achieved if you put the work in, but remember once you reach the top it still includes hard work, this applies to adults too!

To see duck in action, why not read the book or watch it on Youtube.

In my opinion being smart paid off, although the duck was lazy he showed that he could be successful. However if he’d delegated the work he wouldn’t have had to do any; just like some in management today.

Is Hinkley Point C - Motherboard In Disguise?

The question is, “Is Hinkley Point C, a motherboard in disguise?”

I saw an aerial view of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station at a few weeks ago.

It instantly reminded me of a motherboard.

There were similarities in the design which got me thinking.

Simply; as a motherboard is a printed circuit board that allows computer hardware components to communicate with each other, then is Hinkley Point C doing the same thing but on a larger scale.

How do we know that this structure is not a motherboard in disguise that’s already communicating with other worlds?

It may appear to be just another structure but you never know the truth until something goes terribly wrong.

Did Giants Exist?

The question is, “Did Giants Exist?”

In countries all over the world human skeletons have been found from between 10 and 17 feet tall, some dating back 300,000 years.

However although giant human skeletons had been recovered, they were not found on mass.

If these beings came after the demise of the Dinosaurs, then how did that happen?

Some scientists claim that the first link to humanity started six millions years go with a primate group called “Ardipithecus,” as these began walking upright.

Now I’m not a scientist but could primates evolve from a small mammal that lived underground?

Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture, but I believe giants existed, how they came to be interests me immensely.

Logic indicates that it was these giants that built these huge ancient monuments, pyramids and structures, however without documentation marked in stone they have been forgotten, known only as a myth or fantasy.

But hey that’s just my theory, so what do you think?

The Tiny Seed!

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Tiny Seed,’ one day last week.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Eric Carle.

It’s a children’s story book about the trials and tribulations of being a plant seed.

As numerous seeds are blown across land and ocean, one by one, they each meet their fate.

Fortunately though a few make it safely to the ground, but it’s not too long before the odd one is eaten by small creatures.

Will any survive and grow to be a weed or flower?

Let’s see, just read the book then you will know what fate lies in wait for them for sure.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children.

Where Did We Come From?

The question is, “Where Did We Come From?”

I watched “Volcano Odyssey,” on the Eden Channel the other afternoon and found it very interesting.

It explained using digital animation what happened to the planet and the Dinosaurs after a meteorite hit the planet. It also followed a volcanic hot spot in the Indian Ocean.

Although it was the demise of the Dinosaurs small mammals were able to survive by burrowing deep below ground level, but there was one thing that puzzled me.

There was no mention of cave men, or surviving humans.

So my question is; if we weren’t around in this period, where did we come from?

I don’t believe we descended from apes as if this was true we would see some kind of evolvement today.

So then is it possible that men and women are two different species that were placed on this planet as an experiment?

But then if you believe this then you would have to believe other species exist that are more advanced than us.

So what do you think?

Can You Plant A Rainbow?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Planting A Rainbow,’ yesterday.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert.

It’s a children’s book about planting and growing plants.

With beautiful colourful illustrations, this book tells the story of gardening in simple terms.

It encourages children to plant and grow plants.

It’s educational teaching planting and explaining how plants grow.

It shows the different colours of flowers, and explains the seasons in which to plant the seeds, this is done in a simple way for children to understand and learn.

It’s an informative book that I’d recommend reading with young children, then after you can put on your gardening gloves and plant a few seeds.

Are Dreams Real?

The question is, “Are Dreams Real?”

Now I’m not a scientist but I have a theory about dreams.

I believe that they are past life experiences.

Déjà vu reminds us that we have done something before, and if you have experienced this then you are possibly re-living this life.

We all have choices, so maybe if we have come back then it’s to do something different.

As we get older our memories fade, but once we depart from this world none of us know what happens next.

The only way we know we have returned is from Déjà vu and our dreams of how we once were.

Now that’s only my theory, but what do you think?

What Are You Scared Of?

I read the children’s book called, ‘What Was I Scared Of,’ the other day.

This children’s story is fantastic, like all of Dr Seuss stories.

It tells a very unusual tale of pale green pants that have a mind of their own, but when the narrator comes across the empty pale green pants he gets very scared indeed, as throughout the story it appears that the empty pale green pants are stalking him.

But when they eventually meet face to face the narrator finds that the empty pale green pants are just as scared of him as he is of the pants and after calming the pants down they become friends.

It’s a delightful story of an unusual friendship that I would recommend reading with young children.

Are Tornadoes Portals?

The question is, “Are Tornadoes Portals?”

Tornadoes are a terrible force of nature, as the most violet of storms on our planet they can cause death and destruction within an instant.

They appear suddenly and without warning.

The tornado is a rotating tube of air that is in contact with a cumulonimbus cloud and the surface of the Earth, moving along like a hover craft sucking and destroying everything in its way.

We have no control over these powerful entities, so could it be more sinister?

Is it possible that when a tornado suddenly appears it’s actually opening up a portal to allow something to come to our planet?

Now I’m not talking demons here, but could it be possible that a more advanced species could cause an electrical pulse opening up a wormhole of sorts to come to our world or return to their own in the form of a tornado?

But hey I’m not a scientist I’ve just got a vivid imagination, but what do you think?

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?

I read the children’s book called, ‘How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food,’ the other afternoon.

Do you know how a Dinosaur might eat their food?

Are they messy eaters?

Are Morning Glory Clouds Safe?

The question is, “Are Morning Glory Clouds Safe?”

Have you ever seen a picture of the morning glory clouds?

They are rolls of clouds that give the appearance of rolling for up to 1000 kilometres at a speed of up to 60 kilometres per hour.

They are unusual, magnificent and scary to look at, but what causes them?

The theory is that it’s associated with high humidity and sea breezes, but nothing is factual as after all it is only a theory and could be caused by other things, for example; an alien spacecraft or a pollutant put into the air?

I’m sure within the next fifty years we will know the truth I just hope that it’s not too late then for humanity and our planet.

But what do I know, I’m not a scientist, and like you I will just have to wait and see.

A young boy has such a wonderfully creative imagination that when his grandfather wakes up he imagines him turning into a monster.

Are Lenticular Clouds Hiding Alien Spacecrafts?

The question is, “Are Lenticular Clouds Hiding Alien Spacecrafts?”

Lenticular clouds are very unusual clouds indeed, some look like pancakes stacked on top of each other.

Throughout history these clouds round oval shaped structures have been confused with UFO’s, but is it confusion or fact?

Now I’m not a scientist but if something looks strange and out of place in the sky and different to what I’ve seen before, then I too would suspect it to be something more sinister.

But who’s to say we’re wrong; as for all we know this could be a way to hide and disguise an alien spacecraft as it enters Earth’s air space.

But hey what do I know, as after all it’s just a theory.

Do Sharks Smile?

One afternoon I read the children’s book called, ‘Smiley Shark.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Ruth Galloway.

It’s a lovely story about a shark with a bright white happy smile.

Unfortunately not all the ocean creatures like smiley sharks bright white smile, and when he wants to play with them they’re frightened by the grin of his huge sharp white teeth which makes him sad.

But when he learns that the ocean creatures have been trapped, without hesitation he rescues them and they are saved, now they are no longer scared of him and smiley shark has lots of friends.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children.

This children’s book encourages friendship.

I’m happy that smiley shark made friends it’s always difficult to fit in if you look slightly different.

In shark’s case the ocean creatures were scared of his teeth and like so many of us when we meet someone new or different for the first time we are unsure of them, however if you gave that person a chance, you will find a wonderful friendship.

Why Make Unstoppable Robots?

With so many dangers to worry about on our planet, we need to add a new one to the list, “Unstoppable Robots.”

Now I know some robots are useful in the home and we are used to seeing drones flying about the sky, but now researchers have developed a robot that can adapt to being damaged and continue their task.

Currently it may not be huge or scary looking, but as the technology develops I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they begin to look like a cyborg from the Terminator movie.

And you know what happens next, they try to take over the world!

What’s worse is that if somebody unstable ends up controlling these robots they could program them to kill humans, wiping out mankind; as after all they are unstoppable!

What’s A Time Cloak?

I read an article in the Mail Online about a “Time Cloak.”

It appears scientists have created a device they call a time cloak which bends light that tears holes in time.

In my opinion this is a great first step to light travel for if they can tear holes in time, they will eventually find away to send and return a spacecraft to a distant planet quickly, not like the future Mars mission that’s a one way flight.

Just think about it, once a spacecraft is successfully flown through a time cloak and returned, it will only be a matter of time before we can explore other worlds.

As long as we’re friendly to other species we’ll be able to book our holidays and travel to other destinations around the solar system.

And that’s not all; we could colonise new planets and grow our fast food industry with lots of galactic fast food outlets!

Unfortunately George is not good and destroys the house, but after saying sorry, Harry takes him out for a walk.

But will George misbehave or will he be good?

Why Do Mysterious Lights Appear In The Sky?

When mysterious lights appear in the sky, we humans are automatically mesmerised by them, running outside to take a closer look and capturing the event on cameras or mobiles.

It’s in our nature and we can’t help ourselves. We may be scared at first then excited that we could be witnessing something big.

That’s great but have you ever stopped to wonder that what you’re looking at could affect you for the rest of your lives?

How do you know that whilst you are looking up at them, they could be capturing your image, and genetic information?

It’s possible that one day, they will come back for you.

But what if, they already had but you have no knowledge of it?

One day George buys some new clothes to make him look smart, but alas it’s short lived as within minutes he has given each of his new clothes away.

The story shows the caring nature and generosity of George towards others.

What Is A White Hole?

The question is “What is a white hole?”

A “White Hole,” is a hypothetical region of space-time which is the reverse of a black hole.

With a white hole; light and matter escape from it but nothing can be entered from the outside.

A black hole is the opposite; it can be entered from the outside but no matter or light can escape.

So as this is the case is it possible that where there’s one, another must be close by?

If a white hole is the reverse of a black hole, then is it not logical to believe that they are attached to each other, one in a different part of the galaxy to the other?

And if this is so, if you were pulled into a black hole would the way out be through a white hole?

We don’t know, but could this be how the aliens travel throughout the universe?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Big Pumpkin.’

This children’s book was written by Erica Silverman and is beautifully illustrated by S.D. Shindler.

It’s a comical children’s story about a witch and a pumpkin.

As Halloween approaches a witch wants to make a pumpkin pie, but first she need’s to pick it from the vine.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple and she requires a little help from a ghost, a vampire, a mummy and a bat, but will she ever free the pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie?

It’s a great book with a few well known scary characters.

Why not read the book now and tell me what you think?

Also, why not plant your own pumpkin seed then you too can make pumpkin pie?

Are Dreams Memories Of Previous Lives?

The question is, “Are dreams memories of previous lives?”  

Many of us have strange and unusual dreams, but could these be past memories tucked away so deeply into our subconscious that they only escape during our sleep?

Some would argue that dreams are caused by watching too much television or playing computer games, however how can they be sure.

I dream regularly, my dreams are always in colour I have been to many places in my dreams and have even felt grass between my toes.

Some appear happy but some also seem dark and sinister.

I watch through my own eyes each short extract as it plays out, never seeing my face or knowing my gender.

In some extracts I have been shot and felt the pain, climbed a mountain with women and children fleeing from those on horseback. I’ve stood on a beautiful green hill barefoot and looked up at the perfect blue sky. I’ve even communicated with others in a language I don’t understand.

So could these be memories of my past?

Not as I am now, but these could be memories of my soul?

What do you think?

Can Dogs Fly?

The other afternoon I read the children’s book called, ‘Some Dogs Do.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Jez Alborough.

It’s a children’s story about a dog called Sid.

Suddenly when Sid walks to school, he’s picked up by the wind and finds out that he can fly.

When he tells his friends at school, they don’t believe him and think that he’s telling tales, this makes Sid sad.

At home his dad tells him a secret to cheer him up, it makes him grin from ear to ear, but I can’t tell you, coz it’s a secret.

It’s a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube to learn Sid’s dad’s secret and tell me what you think?

Is Déjà Vu A Replay Of A Previous Life?

The question is, “What is Déjà Vu?”  

The term déjà vu is French it means “Already seen.”

It’s the name given to a sense or feeling of being somewhere before, a knowing or familiarity of a place or something.

I’ve experienced it personally, the effect was unexpected.

When I was a teenager I was just looking at some belts at one of the retail shops at Wood Green. Then as I reached up to take one, everything froze, then in a split second as my body stood on the same spot half the store moved quickly away from me and then returned back to it’s place.

It felt strange and I must admit I was a little scared at first as I wasn’t sure what had happened, but then I had this overwhelming feeling that I’d had done this action before. It’s then the words déjà vu popped into my mind.

I still get déjà vu now, and in some cases I remember doing the exact thing over and over again; I remember just after the action’s been performed, then instantly I know I’ve done it previously in the past.

So are we re-enacting a previous life?

And if so will this continue until we get it right?

I wonder how many times I’ve actually come back into this body and replayed this life, with this family?

With so many choices and variables I could have come back infinite times.

Is There A Moose On The Loose?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Moose on the Loose.’

This children’s book was written by Kathy-Jo Wargin and illustrated by John Bendall-Brunello.

It’s a lovely children’s book that tells the story of a moose.

The story allows interaction with the reader by asking a question followed by a choice of answers.

It’s a delightful story I’d recommend reading to all children.

So folks tell me, “What would you do with a moose on the loose?”

“Would you chase him, race him or stand up to face him?”

Read the book now or watch it on YouTube and give me your answer, or you could just tell me what you think?

Is Teleportation Possible?

Scientists claim that it’s possible to teleport a human.

They have already done it to an atom, transporting it three metres.

It’s all about atoms and if we too are made up of atoms, then these can be broken down so that we could also transport from one place to another.

If the scientists succeed in this, just think how great it would be to transport to work within seconds of getting out of bed.

The downside; our world will become really small to us, as our ability to transport anywhere and at any time will eventually become the norm, and once we had been everywhere then the majority will want to venture out to space.

With this in mind, maybe we should begin building space ships that can take us throughout the galaxy, before it’s too late and technology catches up with us.

But what do you think?

Where Is The Green Sheep?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘Where Is The Green Sheep.’

This children’s book was written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Judy Horacek.

It’s a lovely children’s book about sheep, but the question asked at the end is always “Where is the green sheep?”

It’s a delightful short story I’d recommend reading to all children.

It’s educational and encourages children to interact and look for the green sheep.

You better check under your bed, it could be there!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Can We Time Travel?

My question is, “Can we time travel?”

Unfortunately it’s claimed that time travel isn’t possible without a portal, wormhole or time machine or like in Star Trek we slingshot off a star.

Well I’m not a scientist but I’ve time travelled to and from the future, and surprisingly enough so have a lot of people.

Now I’ve not gone through a portal or wormhole, and I’ve not used a time machine or been on board the Enterprise, but I have been on an aeroplane.

I travelled to Jamaica which I’ve gone back in time by 6 hours UK time and on my return to the UK, I travelled 6 hours into the future.

So the simple answer is yes, we can time travel.

So if you've travelled to America, Japan, Australia or beyond then you too have experienced time travel.

I’m not sure if the physicists would agree, but what do you think?
