What a tune!

Meet Gordi.

Gordi's interests are t cooking, cleaning, singing and having friends pop in.

Gordi enjoys it when there are not people being critical of his missed keys and hits that open into another unknown song.  Pity Gordi is tone deaf.

As the people in the know say being tone deaf may have something to do with High Functions Autism disorder [Asbergers].  Having said that it explains a lot about Gordi's behaviour patterns as well as the problems with spelling, reading writing and just plain not hearing you as you speak!

An annual Teddy Bear Picnic for research

The Teddy Bear's Picnic in Lister Park is an annual event for the families in Bradford.

In the UK's Bradford Lister Park parents and would be parents attend the annual Teddy Bears Picnic.  Why?  The Parents and the children give a yearly sample of blood

 towards the research behind finding out why illness blights so many lives within Bradgford.  Bradford having some of the most deprivves communities within the UK.  

Between 1996 and 2003, the number of children dying in Bradford before they reached their first birthday was almost double the average for England and Wales. This corresponds with levels of childhood illness which are higher than usual, along with much higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, asthma and eczema in the city's population as a whole.

The research project, known as Born in Bradford, is looking at every aspect of a child's development to try to get an idea of how factors like environment, education, diet, ethnicity and genes interact together to affect our health. Parents give blood and saliva samples, babies are measured and weighed and their progress will be tracked across the years.


Now once a year everyone participating attends a Teddy Bears Picnic.  What a great use of the Day.
