Here we go again...

Drat! The bane of my education, eternally late. Sorry to dredge up unpleasant memories.

Being late Elaine is not that bad - I'm glad you were able to make it. Well, now I am here a Belated? Happy Birthday to Bernie, our favourite Chemistry Lecturer. I hope you had a lovely holiday, Bernie.

That's right. Boxing Day. Happy Birtthday, Bernie!

Unfortunately a combination of wonderfully warm weather and good exam grades meant that this festive occasion escaped my notice so I'm a bit behind on the celebrations! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 102 of 176 [austen]: Party Party Party - It's Jane Austen's 221st Birthday!

And how a "self" portrait? Perhaps she cut it out herself? (When our Brownie troup did it somebody traced us and we cut ourselves out.)
