Today started with a very early start to
the day as we had to leap into action to get Heavy Harry the Cat into his steel
travel cage and chained down before he had time to attack, and then get enough
food out for the other creatures so they did not chew our arms off. We then had
to have Heavy Harry the Cat at the vet before 9.00 am, but when we did get him
there on time were told that Heavy Harry was last on the list of Operations.
Why do they do that, they do it in hospitals too; you are told ooooooo yes make
sure you are here by 9.00am and then after you arrive you find that you are
last on the list and will get to see the doctor at 5.00pm because there are ten
little old ladies before you, and they are a bit frail. A bit frail? Have you
seen them at the hospital café they are always at the front of the queue and
get all the best cream buns.
OK not sure what happened there I was
talking about the cat who is OK now and back home, we have been told to keep
him in tonight but he has insisted on going out so in a game of Paper Scissors
Stone I found myself outside in the dark as chaperon to a slightly dozy, grumpy
cat.
Luckily the Chaos of the convoy system in
Churchstoke has vanished overnight and the roads are finally back to normal,
which means everyone can drive like mad Looney’s through the little village
again, which is good . . . . . .?
I am attempting to
assemble a Microsoft Windows 98 computer but it is harder than you think
because everything is made these days for Windows 7 so what appears to be easy
in fact is a bit of a problem. I could ask the Ghost Writer to help as he is an
IT Guru but he is still trying to look posh in his new coat although as many people
have pointed out he is a naturally shambolic person whose own family were attempting
to clean his shoes with furniture polish on his wedding day and then everyone
fell about laughing when he put a suit on.
Meanwhile in school we had
mathematics and today studied the mathematical theory of complex ligand-
binding systems at equilibrium, well when I say studied we sort of looked dazed
and confused and Esmeralda in a desperate attempt to be thrown out of class cut
two legs of the desk she was sat at. But it failed miserably because the
teacher pulled out a large tin of glue that he kept in the cupboard for such
events, it appears it is quite a common thing to happen and then said we could
all work on The Interface Crack Problem in Nonhomogeneous Bonded materials such
as school desk legs. Esmeralda of couse
could not face this and leapt out of the window and ran off to hide in the school goats hut, where they played poker and ate Lemon Bon Bons until it was dark,
when she scurried onto the back of the school bus only to find the mathematics
teacher who gave here a rather good article he had found on the internet called
Macroscopic pedestrian flow simulation for designing crowd control measures in
public transport after special events.
No likes an enthusiastic mathematics
teacher do they?

Beyond basic Algebra, I am out of practice. Thankfully, I am adept enough to calculate in my head as well at a rapid and accurate and rapid speed. Kudos to you for keeping on the path of math wizardry.
ReplyDeleteAs for the vet, my cat loves it. But vets here are as good as real doctors, if not better. And inexpensive. I suppose that's one of the benefits of the Philippines. Cheers.
Vets in the UK are very good but can be a bit expensive, in fact they can be very expensive. But luckily Heavy Harry the Cat just needed his teeth sorting out and they were not as bad as the vet thought they might be.
DeleteI'm sure it must be rather nice to live in the Philippines most of the time, but we are very happy to live in the hills of the Welsh English borders although it is a bit dark and wet at this time of year
And I do like a little bit of science peculating through the blog when I can add it within the context of the diary.
