Advantages: sturdy and comfortable Disadvantages: a little bit too heavy to carry around the house
I bought the glider from a baby show in the NEC (Birmingham). I was attracted by the amount of cushioning and padding that it had and it was a unisex design (yellows and mint green stripes). When my baby was born she slept in the glider for the first six weeks as she was so comfortable and at six months she still naps in it during the day. I had considered buying a moses basket for the baby to sleep in for the first few weeks but I am very glad that I had the glider instead because it is so sturdy and heavy that it will not tip over and the baby is very protected inside from any accidental knocks from her older sister. The gliding movement is extremely soothing and certainly helps my baby get off to sleep. I have only used two sets of batteries since purchase which surprised me as I thought it would use many sets which could have been ...
Advantages: "We joined the navy to see the world?." Disadvantages: "And what did we see? We saw the sea." (Irving Berlin)

Never fear; I?m not about to start waxing lyrical about the sea. I?m more in the Irving Berlin camp than in the Masefield. I quote the lines above to illustrate the fact that even the most feverish of fanatics for the sea has to admit that maritime views are limited, consisting as they do of just two lonely elements: water and sky. And it?s stretching a point to include the sky, which can equally be seen above land as above sea. So, essentially, we?re talking about water.
Water, it might be argued, is not entirely monotonous to look at. The sea has moods, which it expresses in the colour of its complexion. Sometimes, it can be a tranquil turquoise, sometimes an inscrutable indigo, sometimes a grudging greeny-grey. Occasionally, it rears ...
It was my son's Birthday a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering around Toys r us when I came across the educational section, My son loves Science at school so I thought I would buy him something scientific. I saw these Sea Monkeys and thought they looked interesting, I didn't really know too much about them at the time but thought for £6.99 they were the perfect present.
What are Sea Monkeys?
***************************
Well I wasn't sure myself at first what these things are, but apparently sea monkeys are just tiny eggs in a packet that are kept in suspended animation until you hatch them into the water. They are kept in instant life crystals for years, which preserve their lives until they are ready to be hatched. Sea monkeys have been around since the late 70's but are uncommon. They are a hybrid variety of brine shrimp ...
