Well, Well, Well, I have hever had doubts about my Daughter and realise that all things have to be gone through

From reading “THE ENORMUS TURNIP at 18 MONTHS and I recorded it ,
to infants, when you were helping the other children to understand ther work to Patrol leader in the scouts.

To being a “MUSICAL DIRECTOR FOR THE KING”S LYNN AMATURE OPERACTIC SOCIETY AT 17 years old.

To high school with very high grades, running along that you achieved Grade 5 with ” The Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music”

Learning to Drive, and passed FIRST TIME and

taken your andvanced driving test, sorting out the University you wanted to go.
Getting a 2.1 Master of Enginering.

Then the family life loosing your MUM and BROTHER fighting the berievment, whilst alone a university,

” DAD IS SO PROUD OF YOU and just loved to say go for it CLAIRE”

Best of luck with the Phd. “Go for it Claire”

Comment on Polyamory - an honest retrospective by Dan Q

Nice post. And I’m pleased that you still feel able to do your tiny bit of poly-activism by defending your choices and defending the fact that this kind of relationship is right for others, even if it’s not for you: it would probably have been easier, in the medium-to-long term, to have simply said “yes, I made a mistake,” even if it wasn’t true… but you’re doing something nobler, and that’s admirable. Well done.

I met Jocelyn Bell Burnell the other month. She famously discovered pulsars, but the Nobel Prize for Physics went to her supervisor (who didn’t actually do much), in what has sometimes been used as a criticism of the “one named recipient” policy of the Nobel Prize process, and slightly less-often been cited as an example of sexism in the sciences, especially in the 1960s.

I have lots of role models that are women.

Famously Marie Curie and Rosalind Franklin, plus a little bit someone who is famously disliked so I won’t go there.

Personally, my secondary school Science teacher. My career is basically modeled on hers.

I appreciate your reasoning and the whole ‘why are there no women!’ so that has played a part for me too. But those 3 are key for me.

@Rory - I’ve actually now got 2 deliveries a week - one healthy and one nibblebox. So, half good!

I love Graze, my only issue is that the way it lands through my letter box makes it impossible to open my flat door on Tuesday nights!

I think the Graze ‘bad snacks’ are probably a bit healthier than things like chocolate bars Don’t you miss out on the tasty breads and dips with the healthier options? It would be nice if it was £3 but given it’s pretty hard to spend less than £3.50 buying a lunch out somewhere it’s not a terrible deal. A bit of poking on the interwebs seems to indicate they did used to offer a three portion £2.99 box but looks like they dropped it.

I love my graze boxes. Been doing it on and off for a couple of years now. I used to like it when reception used to call me to tell me my snacks were here, made me feel important! Now I find them really good to get me through night shifts without eating too many biscuits!
