Lecture tonight

Off to do some brain exercising tonight – and will be attending a lecture at the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy on how nature affected how manmade materials and structures were designed.

I like this sort of thing, especially as it is free – and includes a glass of wine after the talk.

Shouldn’t really go out on a school night, but tomorrow is a quiet morning for my news publication as the Islamic countries are on their weekend days off – so I can get away with writing a little less on Thursday evenings, knowing that the main audience wont wake up until 7am (UK time) when Europe starts working. That gives me space to write stuff quickly on Friday morning to fill the gap.

The downside is that my Islamic customers expect more topical news on their first day back to work – which is a Sunday, so I have to work Sunday mornings to make up for it.

I remember moving back to the UK as a kid, and finding it very confusing that the calendars all started with Sunday as the first day of the week – as I was used to – but that we didn’t go to school on a Sunday.
