I'm not rambling on about science today...Well, apart from the fact I really want to know the electron configuration of Francium so I can include something *quite clever* in my chemistry assignment...

The weekend starts here, and I am going to York for the day & to stay overnight on Saturday, and will probably spend the entire journey there doing coursework. I'm sad like that, you see.

I've not really watched much of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! this season, but the bits that I have bothered watching have been Rubbish with a capital R. There's been hardly any good bits that they have bothered to show us.

Yey! John & Sinead Kerr (Murrayfield FSC) are the first dance team from GBR to skate at the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, this season, and they could very well medal. And the certainly deserve it. They are in 4th place after the Original Dance...Just fractions of a point out of 3rd...

Whilst I'm on the subject of skating...Here are the first results from Tokyo:

Senior ladies & Men/Junior ladies & dance: Still awaiting result

Personally, I'm unsurprised with the current senior pairs result, but I am soooo rooting for John & Sinead in Dance. They are fractions of a point out of 3rd after the original dance...

I will try & post the rest of the results on Monday (when I'm back in College)

Cheerios, Alex x
