Trip to M&S done.

Provisions washed & despatched to the tender mercies of the freezer.

Don't think I'll be going back there for at least a month.

Very irritated.

Lunch: beans on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (crust), corner yogurt, beetroot sandwich, bramble jelly sandwich, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

The Saturday 4pm call is going on.
Turns out that the medical director of a certain trust has now verbally accepted that the advice they were given (and ignored) 5 weeks ago was correct.
There’s a separate row going on about what you can and can’t do safely, but it’s relatively minor.
The research, analysis and real life experience of a person (with a master’s degree and years of practical experience, but no A levels or bachelor’s degree) is being accepted and will save HCP lives. She’s used to patient safety and working out how to save them. Staff is a different ball game.

I’m married to her, so I’m used to her always being right. A few others are starting to see things that way too.

#ProudHusband.

(And no, this time I don’t expect the BBC or other outlets to be reporting this one, we will just hopefully see a couple of curves starting to make more statistical sense and heading in the right direction)

Hurray (and thank you) to MrsWTFH sounds like she's doing a fab job.

The chestnut tree is in full bloom. Looks very springy

So. I've spent hours (literally, minimal procrastination) trying to find out how Src kinases are activated. All I've been able to find, using the OU's library that does have access to a heck of a lot of research papers, is that there's some signal received that either:

disrupts the SH2 - C-terminal bond, or
disrupts the SH3 - linker domain interaction, or
dephosphorylates the tyrosine side chain on the C-terminal end, or
a combination of some or all the above.

Basically, nobody knows.

So the part of the requirement where I am to describe "how and in what circumstances it is (de)phosphorylated" is actually impossible to deliver.

The course materials don't cover it. The researchers haven't figured it out yet.



I guess I will just summarise the research, cite the sources and say, "I dunno".

Springy trees could be a bit awkward...

[WTFH]

Spent most of the day potting on seedlings. Found another 11 courgettes had come up, 88 cosmos, 3 sedum, multiple marigolds, etc, etc.
Most went into newspaper pots (so they had to be made as well).
Have to decide when to plant out the fun poppies and the pretty ones.
Counted the figs on the tree, I was given it as a present 10 years ago, and for the first 6 years we had nothing. There’s currently 78 figs on it.
Planted some sugar snap peas that were pot bound, and now need to pull radishes to get 2 more tomato plants in.

If you're lucky that's wot's giving you hayfever.

The three conkers I planted last year show no signs of sprouting.

Oh, and one of those century things too.
