h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Last week my grandson visited for six days. I took him to the wood and we gathered twigs from wild cherries for the rabbits. It is good for them. We saw two deer and together we stalked to 20 paces. My grandson did very well and was very pleased, I too was happy. He brought a video player and some DVD with him to watch at night. Much of it was just noise and flshing figures with some kind of story. He had one video from UK it is Shaun The Sheep. We both were very amused by it. I would like to see more. I enjoyed laughing with my grandson.
I still am having a hard time finding my way around. There are two people at BBC that I would like to write to but cannot find my way. Computers are a mystery to me. I am glad my son gave me this one. But it is a frustration some times.
I saw my doctor Good Friday and have found that my mind is growing weak. I do not know how long or how much longer but he has said it will continue. I am not too young for this but am not an elder or one of so many years that this is common. I fear.
Spring is slow this year. Still snow on the ground and the soil is frozen yet. The geese began returning a few days ago. It was my wish to fly with them. I will return to my original home one day. I have been very homesick since all weekend. I live now in the north of the Great Lakes. There are thirty families here. Once there were many more. Your people (the British) began trading here in the 1700's. My birth home has a French name it is Pere Cheney. My house was one day walk in good weather from Cheney. I pray to return there and Winter over this Fall. My Birth home is no longer. I will make a wikki and stay there on the land. It is a very warm building but also smokey and not much air goes through it but it is good for cold weather. I wish to make it from pikwi but I cannot so will use canvas instead. All night I dreamed of my grandparents and of home I badly want to be there now. My wife will come with me though she hates the cold now. She is good.

john -

to talk to people, "here" I think the easiest way to do it is this:

Find the conversation where their names appear

"Click" on their name

This takes you to their home page.

Depending on the colour back ground they have on their home page you will find something that says "Discuss this entry" If it's a white page, then you will find it just below where they have written about themselves.

"Click" on that, and it will take you to their messages centre where you may start a conversation with them as you did when you came to my home page.

If it gets too complicated, then if you'd like to let me know who you want to talk with, I can drop them a note to get in touch with you, which might be easier for you.

It *is confusing at first on this site - or I found it to be so, anyway, when I first started using a computor.



The time you spent with your grandson sounds wonderful; he's lucky to have such a patient and knowledgable grandpa.

I am grieved to hear of your visit to the doctor - that's hard news to bear and my heart goes out to you. Is there anything that he can do for you? I wish I could help, but I truely don't know where I could begin.

Life is full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns, some of them good, some not so good. You have a loyal and loving wife by the sound of her, and sons and daughters who care, so I know you won't be alone. And by the sound of your dreams, your ancestors are watching out for you too, so take strength from that, too. I know when I go thru trials and tribulations I usually dream of my grandfather and father. I never remember the conversations I have with them, but somehow I always feel a little brighter and happier when I wake from these dreams.



I remember Shaun the Sheep!

I have a video with 3 of the Wallace and Grommit Films that I sat and watched with my lads when they were small children, and one of them is called "A Close Shave". This one has Shaun in it. They're very cleverly made, and they loved watching them.
