i had a day off work yesterday and we had a family trip to intech science centre and planetarium. The planetarium is excellent, and the girls enjoyed the hands on stuff, although we did get scienced out eventually.

here are some funky bubbles in different liquids.

leggy bug in the hands-on science park

this little bug was hiding under some electrically conducting tubes at a hands on science museum thing.  it was esther’s favourite thing.

although, it’s all very well being hands on, but this wriggler only had legs.  if the comments were working i’d ask you whether it was a millipede or a centipede and whether we really cared.  but they still aren’t so i shalln’t.

statue monitoring

no one has felt easy since that Dr Who episode where the statues were alive.  drastic measures have been taken to assure citizens that they are safe.

drink prices

080406_850_img_7814.jpg

we went to a fantastic dedication service and party yesterday and it was excellent.  everyone was much too trendy though, and jane and realised that we are definitely old.   which is a shame, but inevitable.

anyway, it’s nice to see drinks with prices on.

friends and food

080405_850_img_7812.jpg

we’ve been without a kitchen for a couple of weeks (probably a bit longer) but there’s hopefully only this week to go before we get reinstalled.  over the last few weeks we’ve had loads of dinners out from people at church and it’s been brilliant !  so, thanks to everyone who has had us round !
