Right brain / left brain

Have a look at this.

The way the dancer turns depends on how your brain works. I can see her turning both ways, but I can’t control it at all. When she was loading frame by frame, she was spinning anti-clockwise. I blink, and she starts turning in the other direction. I don’t think I’m any the wiser. (Via)

Your favourite British beach

P5130020

You and Yours have been running an end of summer item in their programme asking people to nominate their favourite beach in the British Isles.

I thought I’d add my tuppence.

In recent years, it has to be the ten miles of sand running from Barmouth to Shell Island. On a sunny day, it’s gorgeous: miles of golden sand, ringed by mountains, and with the beautiful and unique SSSI in the dunes teeming with all sorts of weird looking plants.

However, for all my firm belief about the specialness and uniqueness of the place, I’m currently resisting the idea from friends that we should go there to camp in October. I think you’d have to be crazy!

Online Scrabble

I have found http://www.scrabulous.com

Oh, boy.  I’ve been playing online scrabble for a few days now, and it’s great.

You can also play it on Facebook, and I’ve just kicked off a few correspondence games.  Of the 3 I started, I managed to go all out on two of them, with FELLOWS and GUITARS.

But I’ve just played a game against a very strong opponent who clawed his way back from my early all out of PARABLES which earned me 76.

My parents are huge Scrabble fiends. Maybe this is finally the thing to get my Dad on the internet!
