Chemistry: A Volatile History

Yes I am still alive...

Anyway here is a good science program for you to watch either tonight on BBC Four or on iplayer.

It is Chemistry: A Volatile History www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00q2mk5

Well it should be good, the Rsc are raving about it.

personally I think the BBC should move these types programmes from BBC 4 to BBC 2 where more people are likely to watch something and maybe learn something interesting too....

but that's just my opinion

Photo Challange: Your Christmas

The Challenge:



Christmas is almost upon us, and I expect many of you will be busy. To reflect this, the deadline for this week’s Challenge isn’t until the New Year.
The theme is simply your Christmas. All you have to do is take any photo that summarises the Christmas period for you. Let us know what you did with your time off, who you visited, and which was the biggest present!
Entries in by noon on Tuesday 5th January, please. I know it’s a long way off so I’ll post a reminder a few days before, so you remember to send your photos in





One picture that reminds me of Christmas....

This is an saffron teddy bear (unbaked)- saffron bread is like an English tea cake with saffron in it, it is only really make in Cornwall and only made into teddy bears by my family. The Saffron tea cake is traditionally eaten a sign as friendship, and we usually have the saffron bear for Breakfast on Christmas morning. This year though we where visiting people over the Christmas holiday for my friends little boy got the teddy bear and and I took some saffron buns to the homes we went to as sign of friendship. It is just not Christmas with out it.

New Year Wishes

As promised here is a picture of my christmas cake. We had a really nice Christmas and new year. However I though I would have write a quick note to say thanks to everyone we saw over the Christmas holiday for making this very sociable season. If we did not make it to see you then where is always 2010 and we hope this year is full of joy and promise.

We didn't get much snow but but I did make a snowman!



I am not one for making New years resolutions but this year I have decided that I really need to sort out my address book and make sure I have everyone birthdays written down is one place so I will be contacting people shortly for information. I apologise in advance for not knowing the information already I know that I should but I have a memory like a sieve.

I am also getting in to a positive frame of mind for work 2010, after the last 3-4 months on 2009 I figure this year has to be better.

Anyway I hope you all have a great 2010 and that the year is full of hope, good news and blessings
