We finally did it yesterday. 2 dishwashers in use and a backlog of food test tubes waiting for their turn. Hoping for a less full on day today.

Sadly, Mrs G's Skydive for BBS-UK on Saturday was cancelled due to high wind speeds. (Boo! Hiss!). But it has been rebooked for 31 March '26. (Yippee!). It's a long wait but has a reasonable expectation for good weather and extra time for more donations. www.justgiving.com/page/karen-g...

Blending down grapes & chicken for food tests. Add plenty of water so it gives further & doesn't get so stuck - easier to wash up.

Tomorrow, Mrs G is throwing herself out of a plane to raise money for BBS-UK. 😱😱 You can find out what that's all about (and feel free to donate if you can) by visiting this Just Giving Page:

This micro Lego kit was a present from one of our leaving Yr13 lads. It's has required several hours and some dubious taking in vain the name of the student responsible, but now it's done. The dome is on and it now has pride of place in our window.

Mrs L is always hot, but sits nearest the heater. Mrs G is always cold but sits nearest the fan. This morning we have rearranged our stuff and swapped position. Watch us forget we did that in September!

Mrs G (red top and green shorts) and Miss G (black top, next to Mrs G) are up on the balcony in the main crowd shop. Fame, at last! ;-)

Our @breckland-sci.bsky.social thermometer shows why we are melting in the Prep room already. Fortunately, the Exams team just turned up with some fans they borrowed. Not a minute too soon!

Mrs G is fighting the inventory, and appears to be losing! So many text books in different rooms, with very similar names. Aaarrgghh!!

With all the teachers and Mrs L up on Coombe Hill for a Yr 12 Biology field Trip, Mrs G is left unsupervised... Sadly there's plenty of cupboard sorting to do, so no time for mischief. :-(

Many thanks to the lovely folk at SirHenryFloyd for allowing us to raid their pond for daphnia. They have a duck, too, but this one was happy for us to be there.

On House Athletics day, The Works come down to the field with their Ice Cream Trolley. Mrs G & Miss G are trialling all 4 available flavours, between them. All in the name of Science, you understand. 😜

Mrs L & Mrs G are like ships that pass in the night at the moment, with so many things taking one or other of us out of Biology. Currently Mrs G is in the Prep Room while Mrs L is helping out with some invigilation.

All 10 Biology kettles successfully descaled. And a pro tip for you all: When it's time to pour out the solution from the kettles, pour it over your stainless steel sink to descale that, too.
