I have just managed to retrieve my mother’s Outlook emails from a newly formatted hard drive
This means I am now more than competent to start my own computer repair business in a small town
I managed to complete and hand in my first chemistry assignment three days before it was due!

Congratulations on being four and hope you have a lovely birthday!! Hurrah!!

My poor mother has just gone through a hellish computer repair experience… on Thursday her machine would not boot up and said Windows needed repairing. She couldn’t find her installation disc anywhere so decided to take it to the local PC repair place and see if she could borrow their disc. Of course the guy […]

Man, chemistry is some HARD CORE stuff… I was feeling quietly confident but it was a shock. Lots of algebra which I last studied twenty years ago. I will have to do some algebra revisions. It was very interesting though, especially when the tutor pulled out a big vat of liquid nitrogen and started dipping […]

Hurray for weddings and full and happy lives for people with developmental disabilities! Thanks balloonist33 for such a lovely set of photos. I would love to go to Archie’s wedding (or civil union) one day!

Poor Jan is a little bit traumatised by yesterday’s incident and keeps wondering if the drunken murderous woman is going to knock on the door again and blame her for the arrival of the police.

I was about to blog the whole incident but maybe that is not […]

Measurement, Matter, Atomic Theory
Molecular Mass Nomenclature etc
Atoms, Electronic Structure of the Periodic Table
Oxidation Reduction Reactions
Chemical […]

Happy birthday Ren! Sorry to say we haven’t sent your present yet, but it WILL COME and it will be GOOD.
No tantys today from Harry thank god. Maybe it was an aberration?
I’m going out to dinner with my grandmother tonight who I haven’t seen for ten years, and then tomorrow she’s meeting the boys […]

Harry turned 2 only a couple of weeks ago, but this morning we were treated to our first real toddler tantrum! Archie never really had tantrums so it was quite a shock to us. As I put him in the high chair for breakfast, he just started screaming his head off. Of course our first […]
