Good­ness, is it real­ly that long since I did a blog? How time flies — I almost said when you’re hav­ing fun, but in this case ‘when you’re suf­fer­ing’ would be more accu­rate.

Well, maybe suf­fer­ing is a bit harsh — but we’ve got the builders in our house. They’ve been here 6 weeks and 4 days — and believe me, I am count­ing the days…

Have you tried writ­ing to the accom­pa­ni­ment of a ham­mer-drill? On sec­ond thoughts: suf­fer­ing is def­i­nite­ly the right word.

Any­way, apolo­gies for a gen­er­al lack of com­mu­ni­ca­tion on my part. To make amends here is a piece I did on John Grib­bin’s lat­est pop sci­ence best-sell­er The Uni­verse. It’s a cool book — lots of stuff on cos­mol­o­gy and the quan­tum won­der­land. Enjoy.

If you’re look­ing for some­thing to read (hope­ful­ly not to the sound of ham­mer-drills) you could do worse to check out some of the recent paper­backs I’ve been review­ing — here and here and here.

Got to go now — I think they’ve just drilled through the water main…
