things i learnt in the weekend

1. That one needs to take care when lambing sheep - too much pressure leads to bad things (like lambs coming out in bits)
2. That motherhood is over-rated (for the reasons outlined above)
3. That the human body contains more microbial cells than actual human cells (yay for newscientist)
4. That solar panels take far longer to stick on the roof than you think they will (it took a team of 5 people 7 hours!)
5. That a climbing rope is essential on a roof with a 20 degree pitch to prevent a rapid descent
6. That aluminium joinery is easy (provided you don't want to look at the end result)
7. That standing in the sun for 7 hours fitting solar panels ends in sunburn
