This week I have...

...mostly been ill.  Well, actually, most of last week but since the weekend I've been getting much better, thanks for asking.  Getting ill is no fun so don't do it, kids.

I suppose it was kind of good timing as most of that week was horrible anyway, with no prospect of doing anything exciting outside as it was windy and rainy and generally not very nice.  Mind, there's not much prospect of me doing anything exciting anyway, because that's just me.  However, there are plans for the week ahead, oh yes there are!  Except, I won't spoil them for you now, but will tell you later on next week - nothing exciting for you, only for me (and those others that will be there).

I've started writing my book but haven't got far as I've told myself that I should finish off my research journal first (yes, it's still going on).  I've managed to form some sort of plot that seems vaguely like a decent story, I've got protagonists, and I've got ideas for panning it out in the future.

And just because it's been a completely boring post for you guys, I thought this might be relevant and not at all useful:

A bogey is a piece of dried nasal mucus, and your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day.  Snot is produced by the mucous membranes in the nose, which it moistens and protects.  Snot works by trapping the dirt particles and keeping them in the nose.  After these particles get stuck inside the nose, the mucus surrounds them along with some of the tiny hairs inside the nose called cilia. The mucus dries around the particles. When the particles and dried-out mucus clump together, you're left with a bogey.  Therefore, your nose is working if you are able to pick bogies out your nose.

So snot is not made of liquified brain, which is what I thought before.
