Our film night yesterday was all things dinosaur!! We were a small and select group, but Arshad and Aiste rose to the challenge of my pre-film activity of making their own dinosaur (with thanks to many at St Mark's who donated boxes, tubing, etc).

Here is the finished creation along with two very proud creators ...

This marvellous creation has been most aptly named - a Wall-e-saurus!!!

I can't help thinking that Arshad & Aiste look frightening whilst
wall-e-saurus seems bemused by the whole affair :-)

Answers ...

A 1 - Brachiosaurus

B 6 - Plateosaurus

C 3 - Echinodon

D 7 - Stegosaurus

E 9 - Tyrannosaurus Rex

F 8 - Trachodon

Questions to contemplate

Questions to contemplate ...

Why does the sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?

Why can't women put on mascara without their mouth closed?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavouring, but washing-up liquid is made with real lemons?

Why do we never see the headline
"Psychic wins lottery"?

Who tastes dog food when the makers claim it has a 'new and improved' flavour?

On a personal note ...

Not long returned from 10 lovely days in and around Hastings, on the south coast of England. My Dad and I were extremely fortunate with the weather which was almost constant sunshine!
