Ever get that sleepy feeling after lunch? Science has now proven that you should just give in and have that nap.
Apparently having a 90 minute nap during the day helps your brain process information into long term memory, though there won’t be any noticeable difference until the next morning.
The researchers found sleep helped overcome interference […]
This year has started pretty nicely, we have just returned from a lovely weekend away in our University town of Bath, meeting up with old friends, haunting old haunts. Organised by Laura, most of our old gang were there, it really was great to see people again.
We finally made the time to go to the […]
No prizes for guessing what I will be doing today …
I realised the only place that record of the recipe I use to make chocolate chip cookies can be found is on the internet archive, so mainly for my own future reference I am resurrecting it here.
The original recipe can be found in the Good […]
Today started with glorious sunshine and then just as we ventured outside heavens opened, not for rain but for snow, huge chunks of thick snow.
It didn’t put us off however, we were intent on going on the free walking tour I went on last I was in Berlin. Even if you know a lot about […]
Simon and I love going to zoos together when we travel, you may think that every zoo is the same and it isn’t worth going to especially when you travel, you would be wrong :) Zoos are lots of fun and every zoo has a different variety of animals, some of which are rare to […]
As Simon had been otherwise engaged so far this week it was now time to show him round the bits of Berlin I had visited already this trip. Back to Potsdamer platz for more indulging of Glühwein, and this time a go on the snow-sledge! Then as the peace bears had been taken away we […]
A comparatively short day,starting earlier than was pleasant considering the night before. Simon and I hurried to the conference center in order for him to give an enthusiastic talk about Javascript libraries.
After watching Mark Boultan give an interesting talk about typography 2.0, Jeremy Jessica and myself left Simon to finish an essay and we headed […]
A lazy morning was definitely appreciated this morning. Leaving Simon to work on an essay, Jessica and I headed into the centre of Berlin for a day of being tourists.
First stop was Potsdamer Platz, and while the area itself is full of banks, chain restaurants and cinemas, it’s a good place to start any Berlin […]
As with usual Day 1 of our holiday / conference trip primarily consisted of travelling to our destination. It had been an unusually frantic yet fun week the week before what with one thing and another, though we knew the transition to Berlin would be tricky for Simon what with talk, tutorial and various other […]
This morning thanks to Caz, I noticed that google.co.uk appeared to be supporting England in the Rugby with the altered - high days and holidays - Google logo:
Great I thought! Go England! Google will be there in spirit later tonight as we support our boys on the field.
And then …
I thought maybe they are also […]
