I used the example of computer geeks and she said "grandma doesn't even know how to use a computer" - as if it was something unthinkable![10:35:08] sallyperry says: Interesting to see what she assumes everyone shoud know how to do.[10:35:35] Simon Perry says: that's ma girl![10:35:49] http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_11_26_archive.html#116488419367080811iam@sallyperry.com (sally)http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/116449933459673315Sat, 25 Nov 2006 23:50:00 +00002006-11-26T14:32:36.103ZAlpha returned home Friday after spending a week on or off with Grandma Books. She was a delight on Friday evening, staying up late to catch up on what we'd both been up to - lovely time. Today (Saturday) has been an equal delight with the over-riding feeling being that she really wanted to spend time with us - almost as if she'd missed us (surely a first). Feels like a big transition.http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_11_19_archive.html#116449933459673315Simon Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/116237373544963530Wed, 01 Nov 2006 09:30:00 +00002006-11-01T09:35:35.450ZAbout six months ago Alpha said that she wanted to start a blog for the children living and visiting the Isle of Wight, so they'd get to all of the things that are available. This morning, she asked if, when we finish all of the changes that are going on with Digital-Lifestyles, we could work on her children's blog.http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_10_29_archive.html#116237373544963530Simon Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/116237311287001959Wed, 01 Nov 2006 08:14:00 +00002006-11-01T09:25:12.886ZC. wow as well as.

We left the Isle of Wight and we drove (and we drove, and we drove) and finally we got to Grandma and Grandads. When we got there we had a super Sunday dinner and Apple pie. I tried custard for the first time and it was scrumptious.

After a little persuasion Alpha got into the huge cannon there.http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_05_07_archive.html#114707938812103883Simon Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/114690430454769588Sat, 06 May 2006 08:28:00 +00002006-08-20T06:27:05.393ZNot for the first time Alpha has just said, "Go to Google, you can go anywhere from there. Just type in whatever you want to do, or wherever you want to go to ... and then you get there." She's five years and four months. Another reason to Buy Google.http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_04_30_archive.html#114690430454769588Simon Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/115601503081827860Sat, 19 Aug 2006 19:12:00 +00002006-08-19T19:17:10.830Z Today we went to the Garlic Festival. I had a go at the archery and on the bouncy, scary giant slide.

I don't believe in god, but I'm trying to make sense of it all, so perhaps what had happened was that there was earth, and wood and things around, but he'd put it into order." The school that she's at is very keen on god, as is Rainbows (girl guides for under eights). http://simonperry.com/log/Alpha/2006_04_30_archive.html#114665057413019532Simon Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3136572/posts/summary/114659068955668144Tue, 02 May 2006 17:19:00 +00002006-05-02T17:24:49.566ZToday I went to my friend Robyn's house and I dresses up in a children's wedding dress and high heeled shoes.

My eyes have been opened to other toothpastes. Following the recent visit of my cousins, who, being toothpaste sophisticates had Colgate for Kids, or some such, I now realise my boundaries shouldn't be limited. I now plan to escape the tyranny of the parent-approved paste.

As Alpha had been a very good girl the whole year long, Santa left her a beautiful new dolly and packed her stocking with lots of lovely presents.
