Off house hunting in another part of the country tomorrow. There is nothing to do when its like this but to keep your head down and get on with it. Once we have found a house there is just the moving to do which although its an almighty pain in the arse is fairly straight forward. Deep Breath...
I've just read A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I avoided it at first simply because I follow these kind of things and read a fair amount of history of science type stuff anyway. However this is a truly brilliant book. Its written with style and humour and is as much about the characters who discovered things as the things they discovered. A must read for anybody and everybody as there is not really any excuse for not knowing the stuff in this book and this is probably the best place to learn it by far.
