It’s been another short work week and although I do like them, in fact I have another 2 coming up in May, they do discombobulate me somewhat.  It’s also been a very social time. Last Saturday at Ryan and Claire’s engagement party, Monday with the family, dinner with Jo on Tuesday, drinks tonight with Christelle, theatre on Saturday afternoon and Grace on Saturday night. My introvert brain is struggling to keep up and it’s PMT migraine hell week too! I will be mostly spending Sunday in silent contemplation…

1) Robin Lustig to UKIP voters…

2) Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman dancing to Blurred Lines. It is as glorious as you think it is..

3) Phineas Gage and what his story ‘teaches’ us about neuroscience.

4) John Green and The Fault in Our Stars. I feel like an early adopter here. I had read all Green’s other books and I enjoy the videos when I remember to watch them. TFIOS made me cry like a girl (it’s the person dying of cancer thing – hits pretty close) and even Ma read it, not because I said she should but because R4 did! She said that TFIOS read like John Green sounded and it does.

5) It’s not the North/South divide we should be worrying about, it’s the rich/poor one.

6) Harry Baker at TED Exeter. It doesn’t surprise me that my friends Jen and Jonny have such talented children!

7) How to cook the perfect Malt Loaf. Malt loaf…yum..
