Day 118
16th February 2011
Arrived in the UK last night to rain, not surprising for February really but quite disappointing after a few days of crisp but dry days in France! Stayed over at Mum and Dad's last night to save us driving back to the West that evening and managed to fit in a wonder round Dad's garden checking for signs of spring before we headed back home.
Dad always has these carpets of snowdrops under the Magnolia in his garden, so pretty and uplifting when they arrive! Makes you feel so happy!
Then I remember that the arrival of Spring means that we're now in the season that baby number 2 is going to arrive in, which quite frankly freaks me out. LOL
ok, he's the biggest grass hopper Ive ever seen!
That is my hand behind him. He was a good 5 inches long!
smiling every single second gives you more things to look up to. Optimism is the key to every problem. :)

The Green Lanterns' optimistic counterparts, the Blue Lantern Corps, have a secret power hidden in their rings. While the interstellar police officers chase the universe's worst criminals around the universe, Saint Walker and his blue-hued corpsmen can heal the threats they come across in the most tear-jerking manner possible.
While the emerald light wielded by the Green Lanterns is by far the most well-known, it's but one of seven main lights that make up the mysterious cosmic force known as the Emotional Spectrum. From the intense Red Light of Rage to the passionate Violet Light of Love, the Emotional Spectrum of Green Lantern covers a wide panoply of feelings felt by sentient beings. Nestled right next to the stable, Green Light center of the Spectrum is the Blue Light of Hope that powers the Blue Lantern Corps, an organization that believes no matter what, "All will be well."
The Green Lanterns discovered their odd doppelgänger corps at the worst possible time in Green Lantern #36 by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. The Lanterns are recovering from an attack of animalistic Red Lanterns. Sensing their need for help, Saint Walker, the first Blue Lantern, arrives to assist the wounded. While Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns are amazed and confused at the existence of multicolored Lanterns, Walker insists that he’s here to help.

Optimistic Geometry specializes in creating various copies of weapons for cosplay - but it's not just repainted nerf-ganes. This is different in that it "works". No, it is not equipped with bullets, does not shoot with lasers or plasma, but the mechanical parts move, light up and fold. Just

There are plenty of reasons to feel optimistic about the American economy. After years of stagnant growth in the wake of the Great Recession, unemployment is falling, housing prices are rising, and the dollar has rebounded nicely against other global currencies. Perhaps the most auspicious sign for continued economic recovery and
luxury home design growth is the incredible expansion of commercial construction.
In 2014, commercial buildings rose by a whopping 14 percent. According to the 2015 Dodge Construction Outlook, that upward trend will continue with an estimated increase of 15 percent by year's end. Why is this happening? Let's find out!
1. Hiring Boom
As U.S. employers continue to hire hundreds of thousands of new workers each month, they must expand their operations. It is no surprise, then, that much of the growth in the commercial building sector has been spurred by new office space in the private sector. Both large and small companies are now spending across the board, increasing their investments in new facilities.
2. Demographics and luxury home design
Like most developed nations, the United States has an aging population. Since older folks consume more health care than younger ones, the need for new hospitals, health clinics, and other medical facilities has never been greater. According to reliable estimates, institutional building, which includes hospitals, is expected to rise by 9 percent in 2015.
3. Energy Growth
Now the world leader in oil and gas production, the infrastructure that is needed to sustain these massive, growing industries must be updated and upgraded in the coming years. A recent estimate put the total amount of infrastructure investment needed at just over half a trillion dollars. Yes, that's a trillion with a "T!" Many of these improvements will require commercial building, both onshore and offshore.
4. GDP Rising
They say a rising tide lifts all boats. With the economy expected to grow at around 3.5 percent, many industries should reap the benefits. At present, construction accounts for around 5.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) -- the broadest measure of economic activity. As a result, the sector should get a nice bump simply because the economy as a whole is growing.
5. Made In America
Fueled by strong growth in the automotive sector, manufacturing plant construction should continue to grow at an impressive rate. Although not quite as rapid as the 42 and 57 percent increases the industry experienced in 2013 and 2014 respectively, recent estimates remain high by historical standards. According to the aforementioned report, manufacturing plant building is expected to rise by 16 percent
