Spent a very chilled weekend doing lots of little things. Yesterday I worked all day, but as I was working at home it was a much less fraught experience, punctuated by lots of yummy nibbles and naps. In the evening we cooked and ate in (chicken breasts in cherry tomato sauce, new potatoes and salad), then slobbed out in front of the box (
Secretary on DVD). This morning was a lie in and a leisurely flick through the papers (nothing too taxing, just the review, style and sports sections) and then off to a childrens' birthday party in St Albans in the afternoon (lots of hyper children and zoned out parents). Now I'm up for an early night. Lovely.
Links today:
+ Arthur Miller passed away and there have been moving tributes all weekend. From the blogosphere, here's Hypatia Avenue's response.
+ Star wants out of the Milky Way. Astronomers discover a star traveling over 1.5 million mph - fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of our galaxy.
+ Extinct Native American tribe finds second wind. Descendants of a small tribe in the US are revitalising their culture through an online video game.
+ Micromechanical robots powered by real muscle tissue. Nanotech researchers have built tiny self-assembling machines that even grow their own muscles from cells taken from living animals.
