Both boys
out in shorts today.
Anyone
would think it is summer.
Thunderthighs's
are red with white patterned side panels which he has combined with a black
logoed t-shirt, green socks and white trainers. No reason to believe he's not inherited my
Dad's daltonism.*

Two fine days
in a row!!!
Fester
has gone off for a walk to Killingworth - with sunhat, sunblock, water but no
mobile phone.
Thunderthighs
has gone to Kingston Park.
Today's outfit is a black logoed t-shirt, cross-of-St-George shorts
(tight!), black socks, white trainers and an England cricket cap.
Thank goodness the EDL march was yesterday.
Ferretfingers
has every intention of taking me to the Metro centre - but seeing as neither of
us is dressed yet don't hold your breath ...

Today's Thunderthighs
ensemble comprises a bright yellow with bright red Eastfield steam punk logo
t-shirt, camouflage long shorts, powder blue socks and white trainers.
As
a child I was fascinated by the fact that Dad couldn’t tell whether a holly
tree had berries or not until he was close up to it. He had originally wanted to join the Navy,
but being able to distinguish red from green is pretty vital at sea, so he
joined the RAF instead.
Daltonism,
also called protanopia, is colour blindness resulting from
insensitivity to red light, causing confusion of greens, reds, and yellows. It is hereditary, and is the commonest form of
colour blindness. It’s carried on
the X chromosome so if a woman’s father has daltonism there is a 50% chance of
her sons having it. Knowing this I was
prepared and alert for my boys to have it.
Ferretfingers seems to be fine.
Thunderthighs
once told me the flamingo in a picture was “grey”.
