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!

Is 55 PB the first teddy bear ?

On July 26th 2011 BBC News Frances Cronin  asks  "Is the 55pb the first Teddy bear? 

• A replica of 55 PB teddy bear is on display at the Steiff museum
• But its status as first bear is hotly disputed
• The name Teddy Bear comes from former US President Theodore Roosevelt.
• On a bear-hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902 Roosevelt was offered a stunned, lassoed bear to shoot but he refused
• This was depicted in a cartoon in the Washington Post, which inspired Russian immigrant toy maker Morris Michtom
• He created a bear to put in his toy shop window in Brooklyn and called it Teddy's Bear
• Richard Steiff registered his design in July 1903. There is evidence of a sample being sent over to the US late 1902/early 1903 but it would have taken a while to design and make
• The US bear appeared towards the end of November 1902 so the timing is very tight, possibly even simultaneous

learning knots again

Clamity Jane Teddy Bear has been learning how to make these different knots and hitches.

• The stopper knot,
• The double over hander
• Reef knot / flat knot or square knot.
• The half knot.
• Round turn and 2 half hitches

Then 'Calamity Jane' and others practiced their snake lashing and square lashing.  Not quite sure why the thing they made stood up but I think it had something to do with the added props.
