Let's throw some words about and bandy some language about the screen. Some of it may actually turn out interesting. In the wake of several hours of tutoring, anything more structured might be impossible!
Yes, words on a topic of nothing, which happens every other time on the Quirky Muffin. Perhaps now would be a good time to talk about how well the origami polyhedra have been going down with the primary school students. They really seem to love finishing off the tetrahedra, and then making the giant tetrahedron using four small ones and an octahedron blows their minds. Maybe life is nicer than it seems, hmmm? It's nice to see how wonderful the simple things are.
If only there were more time to read. There's not much time at the moment, but it will settle down nicely in a few weeks. 'The Voyage Of The Beagle' awaits, as does editing down 'Oneiromancy' and a decision on whether to take an OU course or not. If I don't have the time to read for leisure now, how would I fit in another degree? What would happen to all the endless DVD watching and writing of trivial blogs about nothing?
A re-watch of the Rathbone and Bruce 'Sherlock Holmes' movies is coming to an end, and they are truly wonderful movies. Great, great mini-masterpieces that confirm yet again that massive budgets are counter-productive when making quality films. Now, if only they could have kept the series going even longer, but of course it was not to be... We're lucky to have had the wonderful fourteen that exist, and to not have lost any in the intervening time. Viva Watson!
It's time to stop now, dig out a book, and revel in the successful construction of an origami icosahedron. What a wonderful thing it was to convert those five sheets of A5 into a twenty-sided solid! Such a small solid to come from five massive sheets...
