Traffic and the tunnel

Decided we would go to a meeting of home educators today but never got there. Instead we spent 40 minutes plus trying to get through the Tyne Tunnel. When we eventually got to the other side there was so little time left before the meeting finished we decided it wasn't worth going. Called in to see some friends and spent an enjoyable afternoon chatting and playing Chinese Chequers. Noticed that the Chinese Chequer board is a pentagram.

Thea has been given a chemistry set, which was surplus to someones requirements. I can't believe it, the set has never been used, its brilliant. Thea was soooo..... made up she can't wait to set up some experiments. There will be plenty to keep her busy, the set includes instructions for 100 experiments.
