So data collection went well and today we started the analysis. The project is pretty much on track except one of my group members has suddenly become unreliable. He hasn't been showing up for project stuff. We're not really sure what to do if it continues.

Just got back from the zoo where we had lots of fun looking at the animals. For an animal behaviour paper I'm doing we have to do a group project on some of the animals at the zoo. My group has chosen Capuchins and their behaviour at feeding time, especially aggressive behaviour and grooming levels. Today we went along just to see if the project is ( Read more... )

I just broke our big mixing bowl. Dammit! It was a great bowl. Not too big, not too small.

On the plus side, C's minions are still alive and I will soon have bread.

My sister left me in charge of her sourdough starter (her minions) while she is away. The jar was getting full and it looked like it might start trying to take over the world so I made bread. It turned out fine even though I left the mixture in the hot water cupboard and forgot about it for a whole day.

I've been reading the Hamish Macbeth books lately and they are all the same. I find them quite entertaining but every book is murder, Priscilla, Elspeth, his pets, another murder or 2 and then avoiding promotion.
It's also freezing cold and hailing at the moment which seems appropriate.
