Mandy brought home a toy giraffe and he's been glued to it since. The good thing is that it squeaks and as long as you hear the squeak you know he's not getting into bother. -A bit like watching one of those wartime black and white submarine films with the sonar whoop signalling that everything is ok. (- childhood memory that one - or did my memory just invent it?...)

I did take picture today of yesterday's bulb thing (still haven't identified it) as it had opened up nicely sitting in a glass of water overnight. Pic not used - but might retake it tomorrow in light of Sea Urchins excellent honesty series.
