The Sahib’s Sauce

Here we go – haven’t done this for a while – onions, garlic, a marrow from Mum’s garden, and a big pot of chilli peppers, turmeric, and fresh ground mustard. Had to use dried chillis, but should still be good.

Not quite as flash as I’d prefer, but not bad for a basic telescope. Lots more like this on file – perhaps processing with something like Registax might give me something nice.

New Photo Album

brotherphil — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:46:21 +0000

I’ve created a new blog, for my photos, at philsphotoalbum.wordpress.com.
You can also buy prints (and t-shirts) at www.culmer.co.uk. If you want something from the blog that’s not in the shop, just ask.

It’s a little bit chilly.

According to the radio, it was -20 on the A15 last night. I’m off work again because the railway lines are frozen. Tried to get in by bus yesterday, to save money – nightmare. 5 hours to get to work, and 4 to get home, due to the ~~cxxt~~ titled gentleman who pinched the “no buses here, go to the main road” sign at Newark North Gate, and the Stagecoach driver who drove straight past me at Newark Wharf. Never again. I’m going back home and putting the kettle on (once a bus shows up).

First attempt at differential staining

To go with my nice new microscope, I got some stains, to make it easier to see things. Here’s my first attempt at a differential stain: cheek cells, stained with haematoxylin and eosin:

LM400

The haematoxylin stains the cell nuclei purple, and the eosin stains the rest of the cell pink.

The Christmas Cake is in the Oven

Half a ton of fruit and nuts, five double shots of Mr Jack’s finest, a double of home-made limoncello, and a recipe from the Metro. Five hours in the oven to go, and five weeks of feeding with more JD.
