We decided not to go to Belfast. Instead, this afternoon, we went for a drive down to see the Thames Barrier. It's the first time I've seen them in real life - that is, not on a documentary drama about flooding. They remind me of something out of Doctor Who, giant silver snails. Lots of questions - what are the made of? Do they feel padded to the touch? (Probably not, but they look like it!) How do people get between each barrier? Are there underground tunnels between them? How do they work? Are there big barriers on wheels that turn round when necessary? I've added a link the relevant website so we can try and find out some of the answers ...!It's been a relaxing evening. I've spoken to my parents, grandparents, sister and long time friend. I've watched Doctor Who and Ugly Betty, my two favourite TV programmes at the moment. At the moment The Passion of the Christ is on, so I'm catching up with my blog.
Happy Easter everyone!

glad you had a happy easter - hope you have a relaxing week. if you were writing your blog when the passion of the christ was on does that mean you didn,t watch it?
We watched it at the cinema, so we had it on the background, and watched bits and didn't watch others. Still think the demon baby and the devil bits were a bit bizarre and unnecessary.
