The Day Was a Lot Longer Than I Had Expected

I went to a funeral yesterday .... Back in 1966 we moved back to Essex and our next-door neighbours were a family with a girl 5 years older than me, and a boy 3 years older than her.  In 1986 we moved to the West Contry and just after Mum & Dad moved to Torquay our neighbours parents moved there as well ... so we never really lost touch.  Sadly

What a lovely tree of memories.

I thought of Rosalind Franklin and Maggie Aderin Pocock when I saw the female scientist question. And I think Katherine Johnson probably counts.

Yes, I thought that tree was lovely - so even without looking for a daily photo, I would have had a look at it.

I don't like Hawaiian pizzas either. A lot of people do. And like you I eat pineapple seperately LOL. 10. I have a beautiful vintage umbrella from a museum with Steinlen cats all over it. 11. I'm thinking of the female scientist who actually WAS THE ONE who created the DNA molecular model, called the Watson Crick model, only, she bowed out because one of those men was just problematic and sexist. And now, I can't think of her name. '

I don't think I had heard that about the DNA scientist ... so thanks for that (whatever her name was)

Rosalind Franklin. I had to look her up.
