Anyone knows what the pretty picture is on Google today?  Nice colours!

Oh I was a bit disappinted with it, Sweet. 

In 1978 or 1979, Oxford Street decided to dispense with the usual Christmas lights and have laser beams (new technology then).  What a disappoitment it was - just three or four light beams.  I was underwhelmed.  But I couldn't have been the only one as all the shoppers went off to Regent Street with its magnificant annual traditional display.

Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.

It's lasers, probably because the first laser was demonstrated on this day in 1960. I read somewhere, that the Google logo is going to be changing every day. Can't remember why though.

But of course, I was a nurse from about 18 to 21.  Qualified OK but didn't like the job much.  Mind you, we're talking about the late 1960s.  I believe the job has changed somewhat for the better since.
