..of the Young Scientist? The one-page proposal? Being accepted? Doing the project? Printing the project? Arriving at the RDS? If it’s printing it, then this post marks the beginning of the *breath* 2010 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition :) See you up there :)
It seems I’m awful at keeping this up, half of them are belated.. like this one! :) A bit of nostalgia, Thin Lizzy on Top of the Pops (a show I imagine I’d have loved, but I wasn’t around) doing Jailbreak. I prefer this to The Boys are Back in Town, I think. I know [...]

You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon. I have great memories of Paul Simon as he is irreversibly connected to my childhood. We used to have Graceland, one of his best albums, and we’d bring it to France with us. I remember travelling around some roundabout in the South of France and thinking Homeward [...]
