Keef tells us he has keyhole eyeballs. What do other EDF-ites have that are peculiar to them?

I'll start the ball rolling - I have eyelashes that grow out of the corners of my eyes (nose side). Sometims one pupil is bigger than the other - Adies syndrome, I believe. Not always, just sometimes. Nero

Well, not so much have, as haven't, or rather, can't. Apparently it's genetic if you can't curl your tongue, but as far as I know the rest of my family can, while I can't.


Oh, and not a physical thing you can see as such, but I have synaesthesia (more info here too, and I bet after reading the link, there will be at least one other person on the forum with it who'll say 'there's a name for it? I thought everyone did that!')

Hee hee, yeah I think quite a few people could join you in that claim.


Most of my associations are the more common ones (colours with letters and words, numbers, months etc), but there's a few that relate to specific...er...sensations, that make me quite unique according to one researcher.

As well as the keyhole thing, I can make one eye stay still and the other one move :)) Also, my shoulders sort of pop out of socket when a raise my arms, a fact I discovered painfully when putting my hand up to answer a teacher's question at school. Am I a bit of a freak? :-S

    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
