Dolly Girls

I don’t know what happened to this last night but I did my Blip however it is not there this morning. Maybe I forgot to publish.
Anyway here are Amelia and Lucy playing with dolls. They play with them quite often together, sometimes Barbies and mermaids, sometimes Generation Dolls and occasionally baby dolls. They do a lot of role play through them. I was a dolly girl too.
When I was little, kids didn’t have nearly as many toys as these days and it does worry me where all the plastic ends up. Toys cannot be recycled due to the variety of components in them all made of different types of plastic.
I know plastic is useful for some things however we are awash with cheap tat and imagine one family’s stuff multiplied by the millions of people on the planet!

I spent the afternoon (Friday) with Marc and went to see his new flat then we went for lunch and to some shops. We went to B&M and he chose a duvet set with a lovely big green leaf design for a house warming gift.

THE ‘PLASTIC AGE’

Whatever happened to Paula
My doll with the brunette tresses
I'd brush her hair, put ribbons in 
And clothe her in knitted dresses

She'll be buried deep in landfill now
Matted hair and pushed in eyes
She won't have rotted away though
Because plastic never dies

And all the other toys I had 
beads, hair slides, nothing of worth
My records and transistor radio
They're all somewhere in the earth

In thousands of years will they be dug up
When Archeologists study mankind?
From Copper, Bronze, and Iron Ages
Will they exclaim at their 'Plastic Age' find?

Will Paula, by then be fossilized? 
On show, in a glass case somewhere?
Where people will scrutinize her form
And marvel at this find, so rare

Have a good weekend ;-)X
