Turfan, do you study DNA by any chance?  When I was called Chafing Dish, it was easy to give my son the name 'Petri', but I don't know of many well-known two-word phrases for which the second is 'Fragment' - hence Okazaki Fragment. It's not his real name. Neither is Jolly Mines. |

Some people here need your nursing skills, bbm.
I just came from photography room and need all (the) help I can get.
Good luck on your new job.

A little belated but nevertheless congratulations on the good news MC.
I hope nobody minds if I jump in and tell a couple of grandma stories from the last couple of days:
On Thurs. I was full of energy, and biked into town, and when the grandlings turned up to be entertained for the afternoon one of the moggies had left a dead mouse on the back deck so, figuring that they're old enough to start learning about things like hygiene, I showed them how to bag it up in a plastic bag without touching in case of germs and other nasties, and then we gave it a proper burial.
On Fri. I was a bear with a sore head (literally, b/c of sinus headache all day) but we still managed to go dipping for water in the brook (for pretend cooking) and found a newt! Newt got presented to everybody in the family except beloved before being returned to the brook unharmed (almost miraculously. I am still working on the whole "sanctity of life" thing).

I've just met my work deadline! Not in time to make it to this evening's Prom, unfortunately, but I'd pretty much gone off the idea of this very oddly-programmed concert anyway.
Am off instead to the comfort of my own home to sit on the sofa and enjoy a nice glass of chilled rosé, with certain bits of tonight's concert on the radio (the Schubert song arrangements, at least).

Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

Yes! Any shell Fairs this weekend? Or are you 'resting' and being generally hedonistic? |

Ho Mort,
No nothing shell related going on this time, have to wait until October for the next one!
It's a quiet weekend for Heather and I, just a short wonder into town for a few bits (probably stopping off at the sheet music shop and the Lamb CD shop as well)...We are going to the cinema to see "Hellboy 2" tomorrow though!
Lots of shell research to do though - the club had an email asking about microshells from the Caribbean and then i volunteered to sort it out.

Yes. You could apologise to those for whom this weekend isn't a bank holiday. |

I'm cautiously optimistically happy that we will exchange contracts and complete on Tuesday then I will move on Wednesday...it's a strange sort of timescale with it all happening in 2 days but that's how it's now working out. It's now 16 months since we first put the house on the market - there have been an awful lot of snakes and ladders up till now. I'm in a (nice) dilemma. A very nice local elderly couple,Mr and Mre P, also moving house next week, have offered me their upright piano. They were forced to offer it on freecycle yesterday since the local auctioneers who were to sell the furniture they're not taking, refused to take it. It's a Wilson Peck (Sheffield according to Google) and quite nice to play - not very beautiful but plain and functional. I've just been round with Little R who tried it out. We'd just gone round for a filing cabinet but were offered the piano! The good thing is the keys are perfect whereas those on my current piano are all chipped after my middle child whacked them with a plastic drumstick as a toddler. But my piano's prettier, with some engraving on the front. The touch (is that what you call it?) is quite similar - I mean it feels the same. It sounds good - just a little ringing in the upper registers. Mr and Mrs P's removals people could deliver it to our house on the Tuesday then I could take one of the pianos to my new house on Wednesday - but which one? I'm not sentimentally attached to my piano really - we only bought it 16 years ago, it's not an old family piano. Little R could then have a piano at each house! (She'll be back with her dad as often as she likes - I'm not going far.) Mrs P is very worried her piano will end up going to the tip!  What do you suggest I do? |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
