For those who like them, sorry for the lack of science rants recently, if you’re going to blog about people getting complicated stuff wrong you have to put in a lot of time making sure you aren’t also talking out of your own *ahem* and time has been in short supply of late.
Today’s strike didn’t really help with that, but rather than moaning about it I decided to make the best of my far too short notice surprise day of annual leave. Miss M was in nursery so I had a rare opportunity for a day out in our home city, with just my big girl and no school holiday crowds.
For those with only tiny children – it is so liberating to have a day out with no buggy, changing bag or fixed meal and nap times. We headed off with just rain coats and an Oyster card (and Ana of course) and had a great day – here it is in photos.

I remember a visit to the Natural History where a certain future scientist told the staff that one of the dinosaur labels was wrong…and she was right! (aged about 6, I might add). x
