As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.

Christmas Backyard

On Christmas day I checked out my backyard: what a mess. However, there’s always something to take a picture of. This time I tried to shoot some man-made things as opposed to just my usual leaves and natural detritus.

I was not multitasking when I saw this program on the PBS science program called Nova Science Now about a month ago about teenagers who claim that they are able to focus when needed despite normally being major multitaskers.

Read this article, particularly the part about the work of Clifford Nass and Eyal Ophir at Stanford University. It may surprise you. It may also explain why your teacher is always telling you to focus on one thing at a time. It turns out it’s a valuable skill even in this infomated world.
