And each week I walk away from it with a sudden craving to bake ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning all lovely and cosy having remembered to put the heating onto the timer settings. But I didn't want to wake up. I was having such a wonderfully fun dream ( Read more... )

The last book I read that I truly enjoyed was 'The Deed of Paksenarrion' by Elizabeth Moon (read during the Christmas period). A classic ( Read more... )

So this week I finally started my new position in the Inorganic's lab, having missed all of last week thanks to the flu.
