On the Cut

…..and finally the weather was good, the boat was respectable so it was off to the cut. It has been a long time since Mostly Harmless got to blast her engines out on the canal. Mr Physics was in charge of getting us out of the marina and a turn to port to travel to...

End of Term

Well I made it to the end of term, but it was crawling to the end post. Although I must share the comments made by one of the staff, who is getting married during the holidays. I was signing out for two weeks and one day without having to go in to school, (although I...

What does it say when….

…. I am not sure what to make of this. Mr Physics has spent the night with Mostly Harmless leaving Mrs Physics to be in charge of tea. This is never a good move, even though tea is just a shop bought pizza. She had hoped, after giving instructions to Piglet- the runt of the litter, that the oven would be...

Long day

We saw it catch a fish. It didn’t even appear to be looking in the right direction. Back on Mostly Harmless for the 2016...

Off to Edinburgh

Mrs Physics is taking to the stage! (Yes, I know the joke…. “You should be on the stage: there’s one that leaves in five minutes”). It appears I am going on the stage appearing with two far more distinguished people than I. I think I am there to make the numbers up. The info about the...

I’m not looking down my nose, it’s my varifocals!

Mrs Physics is getting old! She’s just taken ownership of her first two pairs of varifocals. There is so much Physics and Biology framed within two small pieces of glass. I’ll be carrying out lots of optics experiments on them when I get back to school. Hopefully, by then I will be used to them....
