Lovely day

The student did what she had to do going off to uni today.

I stayed at home and did constructive things like sleep and keep the fire alive

This was after she did all the important work about getting kids to school and firewood in the house. 

Really interesting stuff on the Iplayer  tonight though a re run of Panorama talking about addiction not to drugs but to games.

Addiction is one of those odd concepts that we all think we agree on and then often, so it turns out do not have the same vision at all.

People, find this a bit bewildering sometimes. People lock down their life into one thing. In reality it does not matter weather it is coke, skunk, jogging  or games it's the same thing.

Something you do that has no behavioural advantage but you do it anyway.

Things that can become extraordinarily fixated in behaviour.

Then you have the games industry who point out that watching the X factor is a passive event but playing games requires intelligence and skill.

They might even have a point.

Young L the new placement, balances his day between the laptop and the X box, does he interact outside that?

Not really, 

He was quietly good last night though, did he articulate his real thoughts or what he thought it would be politic to share, hmmm

Oh and she was late home so I had to cook tea with the young people here, I'm not going to say what we did, but she loved it when she came home and the base of the sauce it there ready for tea tomorrow.
