Just watching an item on the news

They were talking about the new curriculum and how they want more people doing
"the 3 sciences"

the graphics showed some science looking stuff on paper
including some chemical diagrams


Using the wrong symbol for a Benzene ring
they were ditching symbol that when I was doing 'A' levels!!!

So that's a shite day over and done with. Mrs P has broken her left clavicle. Six weeks in a sling while it heals. I think the morphine has kicked in as she's started talking about Negroni recipes - completely out of the blue. This could have been far worse so small mercies and all that.

One tip I'll pass on. I rang seven friends who live within 200 metres to get help to lift Mrs P up. No one answered. Since then they have all messaged on the lines of "sorry, I always keep my phone on silent." I rather hope they won't any longer. You think help is a call away........it isn't.

That really gets my goat. A couple of times I have phoned Mrs Tkk for information and got no answer. When I got home and asked why she hadn't answered the reply was " oh, it must be on silent " my reply was along the lines of " what's the effing point of having an effing phone then "

99% of the viewers would not know the difference anyway.

During a recent parents evening Mrs D joking dared me to shout SCIENCE! lime Magnus Pike in the video to Thomas Dolby's Blined me With science.

And I did. I think the science teacher was too young to get it.
