ailbheI liked Red Mars, and then there was Green Mars, and then there was Blue Mars, and really, I think Red Mars had a real novel in there, but the other two had some bright ideas about terraforming and oh hang on aren't we supposed to have a story I wonder where I can find a plot oh yes let's use sexlives that'll do anyway about this desert-into-oceans thing, you need plants...
I had a Mars Bar the other day, first time in years. They're not as good as I remember. I liked the caramel flavour but the rest wasn't worth eating, really. Sugar hit! I must work out how to do non-dairy non-soya caramel or chewy toffee. I have some bonfire toffee but it's more like butterscotch to my mind; toffee is chewy, not sharp.
Emer is still mostly off sugar, but we've found some sugarfree sweets for her, so it's not as difficult. Though she had a banana after brushing her teeth this evening. Still, it seems like her tooth doesn't actually hurt, that was a temporary state of affairs possibly in the hope that it would stop me brushing her teeth one day. Dint work.
I continue to compare, several times a day, Linnea's life with mine at her age. It's startling. My mother got pretty thoughtful about it earlier today, too.
Linnea is so much like me, in so many ways. It's going to be exciting to see where she goes. Not where I did, I promise you that!
