Rhyddid - live the questions now

Stumbled across this

Oh the things you can find on the interthingy! Sparklemotion is a haiku poem a day. Now you might be wondering why on earth I would find this interesting, well I decided to do a short OU course a bit later in the year so I picked Making sense of the Arts and as part of it I will be introduced to Japanese haiku poetry. Bit of a tenuous link I agree, but a link no less for that.

As a left hander I was interested in this

An interesting article on BBC news today about being left handed.

About time!

This article is in todays Guardian. It is about time people realise that university is not for everyone. The problem is that often it is schools who are pushing students towards university because it makes their student destination figures look better because parents seem to believe a school must be good just because 60% of the sixth form went on to university. Perhaps a better figure would be to report how many went to university didn't drop out and what sort of degree they got.

Boat update

A small amount achieved on the boat this weekend but still some progress made. I have fixed nine of the twenty two roof battens. I first tried fixing them with self-tapping screws which resulted in either a snapped drill bit or snapped screw or me just loosing my temper or combinations of the three. So last week I invested in a Pop-riveter and success is insight, slow but progress. I have also installed most of the mains cables and in the evening finalised the galley design.

Seal of approval

Big day today. The boat got Mum's seal of approval. I took Mum over to visit today for her first look and all is okay.
The front deck is finished and I made more progress with the wiring. Day off today for my birthday.
