A Christmas Break
Posted by Derek
Blogging will be light and irregular around here until after the first of the year. I'll probably post a recipe or two, as I tend to during this season, but unless something gigantic happens in the science/chemistry/pharma world, I'll be taking a blogging break. I hope that everyone out there celebrating Christmas (or other such midwinter holidays) has an enjoyable time of it. I'm lounging around myself: making cookies, roasting a leg of lamb, wrapping presents, and wishing that the full moon didn't fall smack in the middle of the break so that I could get my telescope out. Although, come to think of it, it's supposed to cloud over and snow, which I guess is Christmas-y enough. See everyone in the new year!

Your present this year, Derek, is two jokes from a recent FT review:
a 1910 cartoon from Punch magazine in which a boss berates his secretary for typing “income” as “incum”. “Good Heavens!” exclaims the secretary. “How did I come to leave out the ‘b’?”
And in 1750 Lord Chesterfield, the statesman, advising his son to brush up on his spelling, warned: “I know a man of quality, who never recovered the ridicule of having spelled ‘wholesome’ without the ‘w’.”

A belated Happy Christmas
Here in the UK we are able to enjoy the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures which this year are given by Peter Wothers "The modern alchemist"

The first two have provided the sort of spectacles that encouraged many f us to become chemists and he has commented on how chemists make drugs!

I'm looking forward to your recipes. Unlike most of the stuff on this blog, I can do those at home.

Would you be so kind as to publish your roast lamb Org. Syn. prep style? Inquiring stomachs want to know.
