Claire's blog

I’ve had a nice suprise this week, as it turns out I was supposed to get a pay rise ages ago, and I’ve just been given the rise, along with the missing back pay!  My credit card is going to heave a huge sigh of relief. Our poor cat is getting a lot of hassle […]

Someone at BritishBeaders sent this link, and it’s given me a giggle this morning.  I love how shocked the mum looks afterward! Sneezing I’ve been quiet on here for a while, but I’ve begun back-posting to fill in the gaps.  I’ve also got a new look for the blog!  This wasn’t entirely voluntary, as I […]

This gave me a giggle today… Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systemic review of randomised controlled trials

So I was messing around with Google maps and discovered that they’ve got quite a high-res image of Galway! You can even see my flat on it (although I can’t find my car anywhere)

It’s just that I’m sitting here waiting for the slides I’m currently staining to incubate so I can look at them, and so I’m surfing the web. Honest! And sometimes I come across things that really make me laugh like finding out that a snake and a hamster that was offered to him as a […]

These chalk drawings are really rather impressive

Ok, so for my research I get to culture cells, and try to find ways to produce parts of the human body, but do I ever get to hear a mouse sing? These guys do. Somehow, I just can’t stop thinking of the Aero advert with the hula-hooping and singing mice…

Gummy Bears You may be smooshie and taste unnatural, but you’re so darn cute. What Kind of Candy Are You?

Gacked off another blog. Type “[your name] needs” (with quotes) into Google, and see what you get. Apparently Claire needs…. …private support (I think Mum and Dad would say I’ve been getting that for a while…) …a visit to the Bunny Planet …Edie closer …greater spending in economic development (can’t argue with that) …to use […]
