What’s Happening In Wyre?


The question is, “What’s happening In Wyre?”

In July 2017 there was an oil pollution incident that affected the Wyre coastline where oil and tar balls that smelled of diesel washed up onto the beaches.

Then in November 2017, an unusual substance washed up onto a beach in Wyre, that was a bright orange colour, had a rancid smell and had a greasy residue.
It was removed by men in white suits and masks for testing and was believed to be palm oil.

So, what’s happening in Wyre?

Don’t you think it a little strange that Wyre has been unlucky to have not one but two incidents happen on their beaches in the same year?

If I didn’t know better I’d think aliens were targeting the area, as with UFO sightings and these mysterious coastline incidents it’s possible that these incidents are being caused by submersible UFO’s?

But hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar.’

This children’s book was written by Russell Punter and illustrated by Andy Elkerton.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about a dinosaur named Sid.

Sid lives in the forest. He liked crashing through the bushes, climbing the trees and splashing in the river, but most of all he liked scaring his friends, Spike, Ross, Ollie and Rex.

Then one day Sid got a sore throat and when he roared to scare his friends, instead of a roar, a croak came out instead. His friends laughed, embarrassed Sid ran home. He realised then that he’d lost his voice.

The next day Sid felt better and went to look for his friends to say he was sorry.

He looked everywhere but they were missing, then he spotted some mysterious footprints, following them it led to a huge dinosaur.

Oh no, the huge dinosaur had captured his friends and was getting ready to eat them!

What could he do to save them?

He could roar but if a croak came out he would be eaten too.

What do you think happened next?

To find out either read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what Sid did next.

It’s a great book for young children that encourages friendship.

Is Virtual Reality The Next Stage Of Human Evolution?


The question is, “Is virtual reality the next stage of human evolution?” 

The future for VR is looking bright.

For as virtual reality becomes part of everyday life, then I believe we will rely on VR headsets just as much as we rely on our current mobile devices.

With VR headsets we could work from home viewing our work environment and work colleagues without ever leaving the bedroom.

Our children could go to virtual schools, they could sit at home with the VR headset on and be educated by a virtual teacher and communicate with school friends all via the headset or a specially designed VR room without ever leaving the house.

Gone will be the days when you go out to socialise instead you’ll meet friends and work colleagues as avatars in a virtual world. Just think no more driving offences or accidents.

When this happens, it will be easier to migrate to virtual planets in other galaxies and travel any distance without any effort at all.

So, if humans evolve and fade into a VR world, just think what our next evolutional stage would be in one hundred years from now?

But hey, I’m just thinking out of the box.

So, what do you think?

Stone Soup


I read the children’s book called, ‘Stone Soup.’

This children’s book was written by Ann McGovern and illustrated by Winslow Pinney Pels.

This delightful children’s picture book is about a poor man and a stone.

When a poor man knocks on an old lady’s house for food she refuses to give him any, so instead he asks that she give him a stone.

The old lady tells him to collect one from the road and is surprised when he tells her that he can make soup from a stone.

Curious by his remark she gives him a cooking pot as she wants to witness this stone soup for herself. She even gives him some vegetables for the soup.

The soup smelt delightful and after the delicious soup was eaten the poor man retrieved the stone exclaiming it wasn’t cooked enough and then went on his way.

It’s funny that even though times have changed and a stone can no longer be used to trick us, tricksters are still about today. It’s just that now they’re called fraudsters and instead of a stone it’s a fictitious email. Same trick just a different method.

Why not read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?

A good read, enjoyable and entertaining for both young and old.

Could Virtual Reality Be A Danger To Our Health?


The question is, “Could virtual reality be a danger to our health?”

Virtual reality (VR) headsets are the latest craze which is great for gamers and all types of companies that want to promote and entice you to buy their gadgets.

So, could this wonderful gadget be a danger to our health?

I believe it could, currently there are some adults and children that play computer games all day without taking a break. Some children are now having night terrors believing that they’re in the game.

So, if this is the effect that just a regular computer game has on them then what will a VR game with a headset do?

I’ve heard that virtual reality is an out of the world experience, but too much time in an avatar world I think will eventually have an ill-effect on human health.

Not in the way you may think, but our eating and sleeping habits would change as we’re caught up in a virtual world full of wonder and amazement, beauty and happiness, wealth and pleasure that many of us don’t have.

So, as we’re hypnotized by another life style through a virtual world, isn’t it possible that our eating and sleeping in reality becomes non-existent allowing our real life to fade away.

But hey, I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Just Going To The Dentist


I read the children’s book called, ‘Just Going to The Dentist.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about little critter’s first time at the dentist.

When little critter goes to the dentist for a check-up on his teeth, he finds that not all his teeth are perfect; one tooth has a cavity.

This is the ideal children’s picture book to read to young children before they experience their first visit to the dentist.

In an animated way it shows what happens at the dentist, diluting any fear of the unknown.

With the focal point being the dentist’s chair, and with the drill and gadgets on display it’s understandable that the little critter views the room as a “Weird room like a spaceship.”

So, why not familiarise your child with the dentist by reading this book or watching the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children.
