Diary, March 2024, Monday, the 18th of March

 Well, he’s gone to school, it wasn’t easy, but he has gone.

Today, the bus should leave about three minutes later, so he has every chance of catching it today.

His sugars are steady at about eight.

He says he has pain and it all hurts so much, but as he has PE this morning, this is a standard reaction.

I followed his journey on 360 until I could see that there was definitely motor-vehicle movement, past north Wytham. Until then it was me that felt sick. I’ve said that he should give you go. It’s badminton today and his mission today is to hit that shuttlecock just once. His response is that he might throw up before then.

Unfortunately, nearly an hour after he left, he still hasn’t passed Colsterworth. There has been a serious crash on the A1 and the bus can’t get where it’s going. More than that lots of lorries have joined the narrow roads to try and get around the A1 and they’re getting stuck. This means my diabetic child is now stuck on a bus. Neither I know his dad can get to him because we also would be impacted by the same traffic. All I could do now, is sit and worry. :-( these are the pictures taken off social media of the accident.






I go up to bed about 10:30Pm. Jonathan is awake and lying on his bed. He hasn’t had dinner because he said he didn’t want any. No matter what it is, I offered, which was of asked range of options. I ask him if I can bring him anything. He asked for a cup of tea. I go down and make Jonathan a cup of decaffeinated tea with a tiny amount of sugar. I also get two sugar-free jellies out of the fridge that I’ve made up in a batch. He doesn’t have to eat these. I make up 12  at a time, so there’s plenty to go round. But heyou might like them, and it will do no harm as they are sugar-free. I deliver to his room for him. Then I go into his bathroom and put a new bin in which have emptied, and I also checked the toilet which I have recently bleached. I put the seat down.

Nerdy nitrogen

 The term "nerdy nitrogen" captures the multifaceted nature of nitrogen in science, highlighting both its essential roles in biological systems and the complexities of its chemistry and environmental effects "Nerdy nitrogen" is an informal and humorous term that often refers to the complexities and intricacies of nitrogen compounds and their roles in various scientific fields, particularly in environmental science and chemistry. Here are some key points about nitrogen and its "nerdy" aspects: Working with a client on their nitrogen problem I realised that nitrogen plays a major role in my life. Not withstanding that it’s 80% of the atmosphere, I realise I just can’t get away from the stuff. As a Chief carbon reduction Engineer one of my Missions Was to raise awareness and understanding of the science behind global warming. Regularly, I talked about atmospheric composition, About the roles of carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the atmosphere. How carbon dioxide...

Ammonia

  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
