As noted in the last posting, TPP is here to help get your mind active and become an independent thinker. This will open up a whole new world as you start to see things from many different angles, instead of that one narrow point of view you may have. This will help both personally and

Yesterday TPP was pottering in the garden weeding and getting parts ready to plant some vegies, which was a great feeling after the last week of very little activity. It was a nice warm, sunny day – perfect for aimless pondering while working away on the inane task of weeding (inane because, just like the

TPP has been housebound the last few days due to a wee leg injury, nothing major but just enough to limit activity. As an avid outdoors person cabin fever quickly took hold.

Well that got TPP looking into other “odd” names for groups of animals and found out that a group of pandas is called an embarrassment. With their cute, goofy behaviour it is not surprising that they are called an embarrassment! Here

The last few topics have been quite “deep and meaningful”, so today TPP is going with something light and totally useless from a fact point of view. Did you know that a group of hippos is commonly referred to as a “bloat”? Although they can also be referred to as herds, pods or a school.

In the last article TPP looked at the concept that colours can have an impact on your mood – not only a colour but different shades of that colour. Your homework was to ponder on your favourite colour. Well today TPP is taking this one step further in asking the question – what is your
