No fingerprinting after all!

Yes, they've backed down. It probably had to do with finance and not civil rights but hey, at least it's not going to happen for the time being. Emma discovered yesterday that if there were a crime in the area of the school and the school had biometric information on anyone, the police would have the right to take it and add it to their data base. I don't think that our parents would go for that.

The weather is beautiful this weekend. I've been out in the garden again and again, I've exhausted myself. I must stop for the rest of today. Both my courgettes and my pumpkins have flowers and the tomatoes are covered in them. I hope I don't miss to much while I'm away. I will try and get Michael to take photographs of the garden tomorrow at Emma's birthday party...oh yes I forgot to say that it's her party tomorrow. Her actual birthday is on Monday.

Emma is off watching Mike's team playing cricket at the moment. Mike's team fielded first and Mike caught one person out and took 4 wickets when he bowled. This is quite impressive to cricket people.

Tomorrow I'm hoping that my website will go live. So if it does happen, I'll post the site address.

I'm off to watch Dr. Who now and don't ask, 'Who's that!'

You've had a very lucky escape. According to figures obtained by the Tories under the Freedom of Information Act up to 6 million UK children could be affected by what has become known as 'kiddyprinting'. For more, see LeaveThemKidsAlone which was set up about a year ago by parents, myself included, to fight this.
