Let the gurning begin

Anya and Lily are two and a half months old now and little baby smiles are their newest trick. This of course means that the rest of us are trying to get a smile out of them whenever we can, however we can. Stupid voices, crazy grimaces, yes those all work. As does bouncing up [...]

NYC: Travel bugs and strawberries

Two things I wanted to do on our Central Park day were visit Strawberry Fields and deal with John and Sam’s geocache travel bug. We’d found a geocache on the west side of the park and thought it would be a good opportunity to take the travel bug that John and Sam had found in [...]

7 Days: Day 7 – Enough quantum physics for now

I spent today at Reading University with John, assisting him on a shoot for a video to illustrate an element of quantum computing: that atoms can be in two different places at the same time and my head can explode if I try and contemplate that any further. According to the professor for whom this [...]

7 Days: Day 6 – Tired

My sleep hasn’t been the best recently. Mostly my own fault though, so don’t feel too sorry for me.

7 Days: Day 3 – Quick lunch

Lots going on this morning, I’ve already fallen behind on looking at photos and I’ve been busy translating and making quotations and answering the endlessly ringing phone and corraling invoices for hours. So having finally managed to stop for a moment at half past two, I thought I’d have a quick, nutritious lunch. Made of [...]
