My MSc course materials have just arrived. I have the day off work and the boy is at nursery. I'm excited to get started.... such a geek.

I have an Amazing New Hat.

It is incredibly blue and has retro-reflective thread woven through the yarn so that at night it sparkles in car headlights. What a world we live in.

Pics please.

I think we'll have a photo of the hat, if it's all the same to you.

Without flash, a simple but elegant blue hat:

With flash... my god, it's full of stars!

You've sprinkled rice on that hat surely?

Self-dandruffing hat. Those science boffins are amazing.

I have not, and don't call me Shirley.

The only difference is whether the flash is on on the camera or not.

Mr Cat; please be assured that both the hat and my head are dandruff-free. What you see there is purest science.

Its either that or the cat has worms

Or it could be that it's retro-reflective fibre. Just a thought.

T-hat-'s amazing!!!!!!! (Though you need to check the definition of elegant in your dictionary).

Nothing wrong with my dictionary - I know that because I wrote it myself.

From Wikipedia:

 

"Dandruff

For disambiguation see Dandruff (Voldemort's pubes)                

Dandruff is white stuff that is sometimes in hair but is also sometimes on hats and sholders. Its normally made of retro-reflective fibre. Dogs can have it too but it smells different.

                                                                                                                            

 

History

Dandruff was invented by sceintists in a lab1. It's too hard to explain.

Refences

1) "Scotland's greatest inventions" (Askill & Askill, 1909)

Everyone knows Wikipedia is made up. Especially me. I made up most of it.

Proof absolute is that there is a page entitled "Culture of Reading, Berkshire". And it's not blank. QED.

Is that the dictionary you were referring to earlier?

Sporky

Sometimes. If it suits me.

MOT day success. The same "front brake disks pitted and worn" warning that I got in 2010 and every MOT since for the same car. Focus brakes are immortal!

nice. My car has gone from (last year) "it'll pass no problem" to (this year) "teeth suckingly bad". Ho hum.

A good friend of mine self-released an album of her piano tunes, and credited me on the the liner notes for thinking of the title of the album I only casually mentioned it a few years ago as a possible, so it was a nice surprise she used it.
