Computer Games Yes Or No?
When it comes to
staying fit and healthy I am one of the last people to jump into
playing computer games.
It is never been any
thing that I would recommend, setting in front of a computer screen
for hours at a time.
I would always say
go for a walk or read a book.
But since computer
games started to become more physical and more hands on. With Wi-Fi
(I do not have one. I have found myslef looking into computerese
games as tool and a way to teach my children different skills that
may help them later in life.
I have always said
that learning to read and writes a must and so is keeping up to date
with Information Technology.
So for the first
time this week end I allowed my children to play a computer game.
We did this as a
family by linking the computer to the TV so that every one could join
in and take turns.
I am not very
computer orientated and so I picked up some computer games from a
local charity shop for about 50p each.
GOOD IDEA FOR
GIFTS.
I then crossed my
fingers and toes and hoped that I could get them to play knowing that
some times this dose to all ways happen.
For the first time
we managed to play as a family with everyone joined in.
The Games that we
played I have listed below.
Other world
Spring of Shadows Hidden Object Game By Blacklime Games /Big Fish
(aged 7)
Dora the Explorer
Lost City Adventure Nickelodeon (aged 3+)
Now ever playing
computer games I found both of these every had to do so teaching my
children what to do was a challenge.
All I can say is
thank you to all of those gamers out their who put out information on
how to play these games and how to “cheat.”
I was so happy that
I was able to interact with my boys on a cold wet day and actually
teach them something.
I pick these games
because they are about problem solving and really get your mind
thinking and looking at how things work.
I know that in the
past there was a big promotion about “Brain Training” and things
like cross words, work searching and Sudoku where all the range.
Now it is all about
being creative and colouring and painting by number.
For me I think that
little and often is the key.
So my aim with my
boys is that on a Sunday afternoon we will look at playing a game as
a family.
I already have a
rule that Sunday is family day no mobile phones are allowed. At
times this can be a challenge due to both me and my children's dad
being self employed and running most of your lives on line now.
But for one day a
week I like to turn off and just live with out the phone.
So my plan with be
to check out what games I have and make sure that I know how to set
them up and if some games do include multiply players I will look
into this.
I still love board
games but I know that with the game being on my PC then I am not
going to have to worry about my little ones losing the pieces of
putting them into their mouths.
Aims
Also I now that
the games are off line and will not cost me money if my children were
to click on the wrong box so to speak.
I am hope to
improve family time by allowing this one day a week treat.
Enable the boys
to learn and improve their IT skills.
Improve their
thinking, memory, manual dexterity,, communication, team building
and confidence.
So we shall see.

Painted Veil Blog October 2019
It is all most November 2019 and an end to an other year. My little one will finally become one and once again I will be looking at going back to work and setting up my own business again.
I am aiming to become self employed by April 2020 or April 2021 so that I am at the beginning of the financial tax Year.
But for me the main sticking point is money so that I can set up my business and provide for my little ones at the same time.
Being on rented accommodation is my main sticking point beacuse I am unable to work from home and therefore I need to look at renting a business property.
Although I am mainly looking at an online frount to my bussiness I still need a business address and I have been struggleing to find a business adress tht I would be able to use that would Benifit me.
One thing that I currently can not afford to do is invest money into stock and to paid for storage too.
So I am looking for a business property that may beable to include accommodation too.
So that is my aim for the next 6 months and work on my portfolio too.

UPDATING MYSELF
When I say that I am updating myself, I mean my online self.
Ever since the internet and social media sites were invented, their seams to be more on line of ones self then one may whish.
By this happening it is easier for anyone to be come venerable and become a victim.
Many potential future contacts that you may whish to have with someone will mean that they are likely to google you first.
Sometimes this can be positive, but mostly it is a negative result and can back fire on you.
So protecting your self online is very import and knowing how to protect your online self is very import.
This is also not to protect yourself but your family to, epically your children.
If there are things on line that you no longer whish to be on line that are picked up by google you can contact them and request fro them to be removed including things like on address, and images.
However this many take some time and not work right away.
One thing that I always recomend people to do is goggle them self at lest every six months and make sure that you are happy with what you find.
One thing that I did not know was when I have set some of my images to private on model websites, facebook and YouTube that they can still be picked up by google and be viewed.
So it pays to check online settings before joining and posting anything online first.

Guilty Plesures
GUILTY PLESURES
One of the worst things about being human for me are "GUILTY plesures" this is something that everyone as. For me it is buying box sets and then watching them as quickly has possible.
I have just finished watching Outlander season 4 and I am sad that I do not live in Scotland so that I can apply to work for Stars and Outlander if a could.
One of the key things for working on Outlander and apply for jobs when the advertise them is that you must live in Scotland.
So I am aiming to finish my own book so that I can look at possibly making it into a tv series or a movie one day.
But like any writer I love it when readers can use their own imagination when reading and allow the words to jump off the page.
I must confess that I hardly read any more only to my children so when I write I try very hard (maybe) to hard to write so that people will hopefully love my work and feel some thing.
But it is not easy to to having dyslixa to always make what I want to write make sense.
I also tend to struggle with past, present and future tences too.
E.g. she spoke , she speaks, she's spoken.

The Handmaids Tale Session Three
The Handmaids Tale Session Three,
It is almost tie now for session three of "The Handmaids tale" and when you watch this series you really see now life was for women and how it could be again even in the UK, USA and other countries that are slowly becoming "third worlds."
It is scary to think that the UK is now punishing women who chose to have more that two children and chose to become single parents by choses and use things like IVF and Sperm donors instead of choosing marriage and then a family.
Yet in this programme they are promoting the "perfect" family unit of farther, mother and child.
Yet just like in really life women are still not treated equal in men and still have to fight for basic "human rights" and basic "human needs" to survive.

Coronavirus "When it is not Lemons?"
“When it is not Lemons?”
People say “we are what we eat.” but how can this be “when it is not lemons?”
One of the things that I started to do last year was reading the packaging of what I buy, this
made me look at where I buy things from and how much I spend.
For my main shopping I have been using Tesco's on line and have signed up to a fixed
monthly delivery service that means that I can have a delivery 3 days per week every month
providing I spend £40.00 per delivery.
This year I will shop around and see if I can cut my spending and only buy “lemons” and
not be Sold a “LEMON.”
So last year I started looking at items and tried to STOP but any thing with Palm Oil in,
MSG and Artificial Sweeteners.
I am all for sugar and do not feel comfortable with eating a Chemistry set every meal so the
more basic the ingrediency the better. (personal chose)
So back to the Lemons, I hate it when something claims to have Lemons in but then it says
on the packaging, lemon flavouring, lemon essence.
I can not stand in the super market all day reading packaging so I do it at home when the
boys are a sleep. I also look at who things are packaged to try and reduce the amount of
products that I buy that have load of packaging that they do not need.
This year I aim to cook more at hoe form fresh so in January 2019 I will do my first shop of
the year and by December 2019 I aim to reduce the amount of LEMONS I buy, sugar, Palm
oil, MSG Artificial Sugar and packaging I use.
So the amount I will be spend on my January Shop is…t.” but how can this be “when it is not
lemons?”

Almost April 2019
Hello, thank you for viewing my blog; please do not forget to subscribe via email to be kept up to date with any additional posts.
At the top of my blog I have added a number of local charities that I have supported and have been supported by that are near to my home town. I am a strong believer that charity begins at home and I am looking at setting up my own local charity in the future called "The Health Boat."
"The Health Boat" is to help to support the local community of my home town and to branch out to support people with in the midlands. It is called "The Health Boat" due to everyone being in the same boat at one time or another and that being healthy is the most important thing that I believe helps anyone have a happy and positive life.
My aim is to help to support people in being healthy in Mind, Body, Spirit, home and away. I aim to do this by selling Vegan products and items that are sold, made and produced within the UK. With the money raised to help to support people to help them self's.
To support other I would be looking at working in partnership with other local charities, services, business, training embellishments, the NHS and the local council.
To achieve this I will need the help and support from the local community to get the ball rolling. For now all I am asking for is for people to like and follow my fakebook page(s) and group(s)
The Health Boat.
It is not a Fad "It's a life style change."
For more information please contact me.
If you have found any of the information on the bog of interest and would like to make a donation no matter how small please feel free top do so.
This can be done via the Pay pal link below or emailing me direct to get the address to send things to that are displayed on the Wish list.
Thank you for your support.
