I discovered recently that lettuce is soporific, 'causing or tending to cause sleep'. This reminded me of peter rabbit and his friends who fall asleep cos they eat all of the farmers lettuce. Recenly, more than ever, things that happen in my day to day life are causing my mind to wander back to my own childhood and things which to be honest I thought I had forgotten. Just this week I was reminded of the joys of reading peakaboo whilst watching a mum and baby in the queue of a supermarket and then my friend posted online about her daughters first ballet lesson and my first thought was of the mouse Angelina Ballerina. I think this course is in fact causing me to regress rather than progress.
