#977 Wednesday 27 August

It's 5am .... she's been up for a while.  It's been an unsettled night .... story time didn't happen because the wifi at the villa had failed   .... then there was a wet bed at 11pm ..... then, after a wee run at 4am, she hasn't settled again.  Ah well .....

10:30am  .... and she didn't settle again!  She was up and down till shower time .... she would come up and warm her ice cold legs against me .... then back downstairs again!  Needless to say neither of us slept much.  Once in the shower, she wanted a cold shower!!  Brrr!

Kerrie did her "ice bucket challenge" ..... Brrrr!  This challenge is raising funds for research into ALS .... and there's an interesting twist here .... I've been looking into the biochemistry of the effect of the levels of free glutamate in our diet .... and it impacts on ALS as well as autism .... and many other disorders.  There seems to be a real "trail to follow" in this.  There are many confirming incidental factors without any conflicts.  Stay posted.

We're all looking forward to Naomi's return tomorrow.





In the meantime ..... this is at Statham Quarry nearby in Boya ....
