Verity and I spent the day at the Science Museum, which was fantastic.

• There was a staff member operating a remote-control inflatable Dalek and chasing children with it, which V thought was great.
• They had some great stuff about computing history - the Jacquard loom (first punch-card machine, from the 1700s), Charles Babbage's Difference Engine No.

SCIENCE! YOur astronomical ice cream fascinates me the most - my mind is slightly blown.

It just tasted like a custard cream. Perhaps I should have bought the Neapolitan ice cream version rather than the ice cream sandwich one, so as to get more ice cream than biscuit.

Clearly more experimentation is required.

It was an excellent day out. But the anthropomorohisation of ERNIE is terrifying (Epsom salts for his constipation? Really?).
